Padawan 360 build instructions

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

I'm just getting started on the electronics research for my R2 so this is a nice little start to what I need to know. Eventually, I would like to have some extra items such as opening pie pieces and doors on his body. Thanks!! 😊

Hey Steve. If I’m seeing this right, you’re powering the Arduino through the Sabertooth?

Hello! What gauge wire are you using for the 5v connection from SyRen to Sparkfun, and Sabertooth to Uno? And is it the same as what you’re using for the signal wire? I’ve purchased an “Elegoo Dupont Breadboard Jumper Wires Ribbon Cables Kit” , and want to know if that’ll work, or if I need something different. Thank you!!

Curious how you are mounting this in a droid?

Do you need to download anything to do this? I know sounds

So, just to clarify..... you said that there are no changes if you plan on using power above 12v??, I'm planning on using a pair of ryobi 18v batteries in parallel.... can the syren10, sabertooth, amplifier, and the arduino handle that voltage??? Or do i need to step it all down to 12v to keep from frying all of them??? Thank you for all your videos, I'm at the electronics portion of my build, and you really help to make them manageable manageable... maybe a future video on integrating the teecees system !!! Thanks again!

Out of curiosity. I plan on running my system on 18v battery. Can I connect a 18v to 5v converter from the battery leads to “Y” out to power my teeces lighting? Besides the dome moving, I don’t plan on anything else up there except the lighting. Thanks in advance.

Would love to see this same video done, but with the Mega. Any chance?

Hi Steve....I love this tutorial. Thank you! Can you tell me how long of a charge you get on an R2 unit with this type of setup? If I used a 24 volt battery....how long would I be able to control my R2 unit until the battery runs out?

How are you dealing with the regenerative power from the Sabertooth if R2 is moved around with the batteries disconnected please?

Magnificent tutorial and very informative! Instead of using an X-Box controller can I use an RC controller instead such as a TX165 radio? Do I need an arduino or can it be built without one? My R2 will be powered with a 24V system. Lastly my R2 will just roll with the foot motors, have the dome spin and hopefully get an amplifier with a speaker for his sounds. Do you have this type of tutorial available? Again, thank you vey much for the detailed information!

What gauge of wires are you using for this setup?

Hi Steve...hopefully this is an easy question. I have an Arduino Uno and USB Host shield connected. I have ensured that the Host Shield is soldered appropriately to ensure the USB port provides power to the XBOX receiver. I am noticing, however, that the XBOX receiver is not powering up when plugged into the USB Host Shield, however, it does power up when plugged into my PC. So.....I tested the the USB host shield by plugging a USB cord into in and connecting it to a simply LED light....which worked. I am wondering if the USB Host Shield is not providing a full 5 volts to power the XBOX receiver? Is there something I can do to resolve this?

Love your videos. quick question. i have bought x2 12v motors for the drives, and i am planning on using an 18v ryobi battery, will a 12v buck converter have enough ooomph to power everything

I live in the USA do you sell this system? Can you ship to USA? Price?

Sounds like this basic set up is what I’m looking for, is there any chance you could put up links of the items used please

Can you do one of these videos using the Mega?

Can you give a tutorial on uploading the code to the UNO? Everyone says it’s easy but I am running into more roadblocks! Much appreciated!!!

Can you please put a link to where to get all these in the description 👍
