R8-D8 - a distant relative of R2-D2

a 12cm radius, 3d printed R2-D2 with some motors, servos and blinky stuff that follows lines, persons or just drives around via bluetooth

So far there is not much more to say than I started another project. I figured that I shouldn't hide all the stuff I'm working on, only because I'm leaving the other projects aside. Since the project number is 3818 and the color scheme and size is different I thought I would rename him.

R8-D8 - a distant relative of R2-D2 | 2 cell power bank

[2018-10-03] Turns out my schematics were bad and basically shortened one battery when in "use" setting. The after math: one LiPo is trash, as well as the charger. Today I've rebuild the charger with normal TP4056 modules, no protection and strictly followed the tutorial.


[2017-06-18] next maker faire this thing needs to roll around and move the head and stuff. SO I needed a power bank. I wanted it to be a 2 cell battery, that is also balance charged. https://learn.adafruit.com/multi-cell-lipo-charging/fast-multi-cell-charger my schematics are a bit different, but the general concept is the same. Micro USB is all the rage to charge stuff, but mounting can be quite a challenge, so I went with a USB B plug. I've used two classic TP4056 modules with onboard protection (TE420) and a voltmeter. Bye bye weekend, but totally worth it!
