After following the R2D2 build made by Victor Franco, I decided that I'd copy this simple straight forward option of controlling R5's dome (29.09.14) A fellow UK Builder also has a similar design to control his R2 unit.
Already having some bits, this for me was a cheep alternative to buying the SyRen 10 speed controller.
I liked the idea of the Perspex panel on the main control board, so dug out a spare piece and got to work on machining out a slot for the servo to fit into.
Next was to cut up some smaller 'pads' for the switches to sit on and be bolted too. More to follow.....
Unfortunately myself & R5 won't be able to attend this weekends planned event. So with no further events this year, he'll be getting ready to be stored away till the New Year and be ready for 2015's events. Got a few things to work on though, dome motorisation, 'Bad Motivator' system, maybe even some sounds?!?!? So a lot of things to keep me busy. So till then......
