r2_control

R2 Control is a system to allow remote control, and with expansion some autonomy. It is using a core Raspberry Pi and internal network, along with an i2c bus and some custom hardware to control all aspects of an Astromech droid (or many other types of robot).

Running a droid off a Pi is not the best solution of course, Ideally you would want something without the overhead of an OS. However it does have a few benefits. You do need to be familiar with Linux and able to do some basic bug finding. I try to make it as straight forward as possible, but as things change on the latest versions of PiOS they can effect the install of r2_control.

• Install
• Configure
• Expansion

If you are thinking of using (or actually using) r2_control, please drop me a line. Happy to chat about it and help out. Please note tho, debugging a linux system without access to it is extremely hard and I may not be able to help if the issues are OS related.

If you find any problems, feel free to raise an issues here (or email me)
