Hi folks,
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an EZ Robot kit. I saw DJ Sures performed an R2D2 conversion at the Calgary Expo earlier this year. I have one of these Hasbro R2D2s on hand and want to convert using the EZ Robot kit.
Does anyone know if Sures leveraged any of the existing R2D2 electronics (besides the drive motors)? Or, does anyone know what EZ Robot components he used?
I'm almost finished with my Yellow Drum Machine robot, looking forward to tackling a bigger project with the EZ Robot kit. Many thanks!
@Steve...I will see what I can do about a video. So since you have an R2 that is dead... Just remove all the electronis except for the motors and maybe the speaker... that is what I did... added an ezb3 board, motor controller, leds, sound sensors for ears and a PIR detector where the wheel lock button was... I also used a Vex single motor controller and PWM so i can control the motor in his head.... That's about it... The rest is ongoing programming. Forgot... I also downloaded some R2 sounds to complete the rebuild. Up next (once I get my V4 boards) is some Create projects... Currently I only have 2 V3 boards so the Create will be my first V4 project...
rryerson, It sounds like you have made awesome advancements in hacking the R2! Thank you for responding, it sounds like the best hack since Lumpys R2! Look forward to your experience sharing. Any EZB3 Create? That is my real baby. That is whats great about EZB, so many options. Steve S
No EZB3 create yet... Waiting for V4 for that... I am partial to the create as well... After all I have 3 of them
