My R2 D2 Video

Any girl friend who gives you a R2D2 is a Princess Leia! Great job! and good video as well! "We dont like their kind around here..keep the droids outside!" Good dance routine! Thanks for sharing and keep developing the personality. Too bad the little droid doesn't have arms so it could give your GF a hug, she'd find that sweet I am sure!

Thanks irobot58... Wait 'til she finds out I took it apart... Even though it works infinitely better with EZb on board, not sure she'll share the same excitement at why I gutted him in the first place... I'll just have to gear his personality more towards entertaining her more now...

Wow that's great!

Right now I have basically just mimicked his original programming but plans are to replace with an EZB4 board with camera... As I become more seasoned with ARC I plan to seriously going to dig into creating way more sophisticated software and command routines as well...

Thanks for the comments

Wow, Very cool. I have one of these that I will be rebuilding with an EZB like you have done. I can only hope it turns out as cool and well done as yours is. Well done!

very nice and fast respons.great how he sounds and reacts.

Excellent work rryerson. Look forward to hearing details about your cool transformed R2. You even have the dome reacting great. Steve S

Thanks everyone... He still needs a lot more work, especially the software department... When I get my V4 boards I'll open him up and show a partial assembly vid as well as a more detailed look at all the updates I'll have done in ARC

Richard

As we say in Scotland.... That's braw.

Awesome,

When you get the V4 , and do take him apart again , would be great if you could take some snap shots in side on setup , batteries , and motor wiring setup ( hbridge ?)

also will you be uploading the script to the cloud.

Thanks

Hais.

Great job ! Congratz ! Looking forward to see more details/videos.

Yep, I will do a V4 write up and a new video and pictures to boot... To answer another question, I am using a sabertooth 2 x 5 motor controller to drive the motors...

@rryerson- Great video. Great R2-D2. Nice work.

Thanks and I planning many more updates.... I do want to give credit where credit is due... For starters Rich and DJ both have knowingly or unknowingly helped me with getting the grips on using ARC scripts.... Rich, I owe you a Guiness and DJ, I promise to spend more money in the EZ Robot store

Your R2 is looking very good. You have programmed him well. I might add an EZ-B to one of my R2 units. Will you be adding any arms or moving panels to your R2?

@Richard R - We are really excited to see the new write-up and video when using the EZ-B v4 with R2D2

Lol... thanks guys... currently my 2 V4 boards are being used in other projects... However, I have more V4s on order with you guys so he will eventually be updated when I get my other orders shipped...

Awesome! Be careful about that wheel-y-ing going on there. I was going to do this but I decided $200 for the r2 was too much.

Yep, needs more weight forward....

Nice job so far Richard. He is really cool. I did laugh out loud when he started to dance and his shriek at the mention of Darth Vadors name. Great stuff and look forward to the improvements and V4 upgrade you have planned.

Steve.

Thanks Steve.... That was my first robot build using EZB.... I was pretty green then.... I am currently working on a pretty much scratch built Wall-e using the EZB4.... Hopefully it will be way better than my R2...
