Making My First Star Wars Droid

[@julianbowen7112]

Nice, now you are a droid builder. My time talking to you at celebration was time well spent. I would keep your battery and add a small boost converter to increase the voltage to you servos

[@Mellow_labs]

Damn, that’s a good point how do you not think of that. I even have some 😂

[@gearscodeandfire]

So excited for the progress this channel is making

[@julianbowen7112]

also the esp32 D1 mini has plenty of analog pins, so i use an esp32 D1 mini in the transmitter and a esp8266 D1 mini in the receiver.

[@Mellow_labs]

Yeah, that would have worked, but I only had 8266 D1s the pico was at hand.

[@rafaelkassner]

Oh this is awesome! I guess this is the tipping point to make me buy a 3D printer :D Also the servo trick might be janky, but I really wish I knew that for some of my old projects. Thank you!

[@mainstreammedia01]

Nice work.

hello from greece , can you share the schematic diagram of connections , and also the remote stl files .thank you in advance

[@Mellow_labs]

Hey I just updated the blog post about the project on hackster www.hackster.io/Mellow_labs/boldly-building-my-own-droid-402272 it should have everything you need but if not give me a shout

[@valzzu]

Awesome! I really like to watch youre videos.

[@AdrianPickworth]

What printer did you use for this?

[@Mellow_labs]

I used my Ender 3S1 with a 4mm nozzle for all of this project

[@AdrianPickworth]

@@Mellow_labs Thank you! Can I ask what model? I'm new to this and in the market for my first 3D printer. I noticed there are about 4-5 versions.

[@Mellow_labs]

@@AdrianPickworth No problem. I have an Ender3 pro, That was my first printer but it’s a lot of work. The second one I got was the ender 3s1 it’s a lot better for beginners. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GYXP9ZL/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_QMQEF270HMT70Y7GDCP1?linkCode=ml2&tag=mellowlabs-21

[@jenbu05]

Nice video, need to know how to make that controller! just done an r2d2 and more ont he way

[@Mellow_labs]

Thank you, the controller is super easy it’s just a raspberry pi pico and a joystick module and a battery for power. If you need my help you can reach out on my discord we would be happy to help.

[@jenbu05]

@@Mellow_labs may do that thanks! raspberry pis and aurduinos are not my strong point, looking at the whole electronics while looks simple its the coding of it all is daunting

[@Mellow_labs]

Thanks for reminding me I forgot to put the code in the description 😅

@@Mellow_labs glad to be of service

[@Vonzercroft]

this video was great and your setup looks amazing im jealous

[@HuwFerris-John]

This was brilliant thank you. Is there any chance you'll be doing a more detailed look at the electronics side of it? The controller and flashing it all?

[@Mellow_labs]

Yeah I’m working on a blog post with detailed diagrams. I’ll forward you the link when it’s up
