This build was in two parts. The original build was hacked live at Comic Expo in Calgary Alberta with an EZ-B v3 in 2012. It was a fun hack, because I performed the hack live, where people could watch on a stage. The second hack was in 2017, where we replaced the EZ-B v3 with an IoTiny.
The recent hack now has the following...
- Powered by an EZ-B IoTiny
- Video and vision recognition with a EZ-B v4 Camera
- Extended the camera cable with a EZ-B v4 Camera Extension Cable (60cm)
- LED animation using a 18 RGB LED PCB
- Reusing the existing motors with a 2.5 Amp Motor Controller
- Powered by a LiPo Robot Battery 7.4v 1300mAh and a LiPo Battery Harness
- Servos for the camera and dome are HDD Servo
Here's the video of the original hack from 2012 with the EZ-B v3 at Comic Expo...

How do I get the .mp3 from your projects you shared? Im shure I have to download them some how.
Thank you.
Dunno where i got them. Probably just googled for R2D2 WAV files or MP3 files...
I downloaded some and others I believe I made with the R2D2 Translator (https://www.r2d2translator.com/) you will need a flash plug-in for your browser these days for it to work. Yet another way is to play YouTube videos from the movie and then use Audacity to record the audio output. Audacity is great for editing and trimming audio clips as well.
I didn't know if you guys had the mp3 files saved with your project to share. Thank you all.
