R2D2

➭ The electric replica of R2D2

I highly recommend watching the videos 'R2D2_start_and_shutdown_system.mp4' & 'R2D2_is_afraid_of_DarthVader.mp4' to experience the full beauty of the project.

Here is some information about the R2D2 replica (detailed information in the documentation 'R2D2_doku_german.pdf'):

Control:

• Controlled using the 'Arduino bluetooth' app.

1. Start: Start system (Video: 'R2D2_start_and_shutdown_system.mp4')
2. DarthVader: R2D2 flees from DarthVader (Video: 'R2D2_is_afraid_of_DarthVader.mp4')
3. Follow: R2D2 follows the hand as soon as it is held in front of his field of view (sensors). (Photo: 'IR-Compound-Eye + H-Bridge.png')
4. Shotdown: Turn off system (Video: 'R2D2_start_and_shutdown_system.mp4')

Mobile phone R2D2 connection:

• Via Bluetooth and HC-05 module (Photo: 'HC-05 +RGB LED.png')

Body:

• 3d printed components that were then painted.
• Thingiverse

Drive feet:

• Two electric motors that are hidden in the legs on the left and right. (Photo: 'IR-Compound-Eye + H-Bridge.png')

Drive head:

• A servo motor built into the body. (Photo: 'Speaker + Servo_Steckplatine.png' & 'R2D2_top.png')

Sound:

• Played using SD card reader and speakers. (Photo: 'SD-Card-Reader_Steckplatine.png' & 'Speaker + Servo_Steckplatine.png')

Status Lamp:

• Below the face sensor. (Photo: 'HC-05 +RGB LED.png')

Microcontroller:

• Two Arduino Mega
• Arduino Mega 2560

Battery:

• 2x 9V in the body, 1x 6V on the back
