R2-D2

Help & Support Robots & Kits
1

My son and I have just finished the mBot Rover and it is awesome. So next we want to refurbish an old R2D2 toy he had that is no longer operational and replace the micro controller with an arduino. It has a total of only three motors. two for the legs and one for the head to rotate. In our imagination we can see all kinds of sensors on this platform while maintaining the original R2D2 looks and configuration. We are obviously newbies however he has taken to this like a duck to water. So any suggestions would be great. Like a board that can support the motors and sensor array you would expect R2 to have. I was thinking of an arduino feather and maybe try a 1shield to get voice recognition.

Thanks

Hi,

You can take a look at our MakeBlock category where you can find a lot of sensors that are directly compatible with the mBot Ranger.
Here are some suggestions :

]PIR Motion Sensor/:m]
]IR Line Finder/:m]
]Sound Sensor/:m]
]Temperature and Humidity Sensor/:m]
]7-Segment Serial Display/:m]
]Light Sensor/:m]
]Infrared Receiver Decode Module/:m]
Hope this helps :slight_smile:
