- When Dave saw BD-1 while playing the latest Star Wars game on his Xbox, he knew he had to build a BD-1 companion bot for himself. Some things definitely had to be achieved for this build, like the display in the back of the head or the sim / med pack shooter of the buddy robot. Adding the projector complicated the build, as now the power consumption got even bigger than the Raspberry PI would already takes. This Astrobot is not designed to walk around, but rather sit on your shoulder, like in the game: bit.ly/2WduZ00

Huge respect for showing your errors and your process for diagnosing and overcoming them. I feel like people don't share their mistakes and it makes us feel inferior or incapable when we come across them in real life. I'm impressed with your ability to embrace your mistakes and persevere. AND DID YOU EVER PERSEVERE! That came out absolutely beautiful!!
thank you for taking the time to write this :)
This is an incredible amount of work and the quality is outstanding for a version 1 build. Nice🤖
thank you :)
Coole Sache. Die Arbeit hat sich voll gelohnt.
Thanks for the video and for sharing the issues too.
sure! :)
Awesome! Want one for the next office
Nice work getting it to the point you have!
thanks Adam! :)
Impressive! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing it.
thanks! :)
Great Build !
thanks Alex! :)
Thank you, I am inspired by your work.
I'd say a great project. Looking forward to more.
Thank you! :)
Incredible job!
Thanks! :)
Brilliant!
Thank you David :)
I love this so much. Besides a lightsaber I want nothing more than an ACTUAL BD-1 as my little buddy! I could seriously die happy if I had that hahaha. He can project any TV show or anything in general, ride on my back like a good pal and shoot out Stims (or shooters of my choice of alcohol) like how fucking cool would that be!
P.S didn't show off BD's stim shooting ability enough! Otherwise fucking fantastic good work mate
thanks :) just got here by accident googling for companion robots and found my own video :) Currently working on a small L0-LA59 from the new Obi Wan show
Great project. It would deserve a lot more views!
Thank you Aron! I'm just happy I was able to build it and also glad it's above 10k views, which is a good number for a video on this channel already these days! Thank you for the comment :)
Great video
i was searching for this im gonna cry out in happiness!!!!
Good job mate!🤙🏾
Thanks! :]
I love it!
Mega gute Arbeit!
Vielen Dank :)
Hi Dave. Great work and nice video.
Hi James. Thank you :)
Stick the lipo on a nimh charge for about a minute, then stick it back onto balance charge like normal. I’ve revived loads of ‘dead’ lipos doing this.
Proud of you, bro!
🖖🤓
I like your robot..Awesome project!!!
Thanks a bunch! :)
Great Project. Amazing,Regards from the Salvador.
Thank you! :)
Brazil?
No, El salvador. Centro America.
Nice project dave
Thank you! :)
So cool to see how all of the pieces you've been working on came together! What did the robot propel out of its head at the beginning? Nice work!
TFW the maker replies to everyone else's comments ... except this one
@@robotgrrl I just came back to the video and saw the comment for the first time, I swear :[ would have responded instantly, might have been hold back for review? Sorry Erin! In the video game it's a health pack that BD-1 shoots, was a nice gimmick to try and workout! Thank you for the comment and I hope you and all of your robots are well!
Awesome
thanks Peter :)
Well done. Looked complicated initally but you got there. I struggle with what external power requirements for components and best options for mobility, be nice if you did a video just on that
I took more time for this project than we normally do for these video projects, to get through all that :) I'll see if I can get more into the requirements in a future vide some more. Thanks for the input!
good audio mixing. music never gets too loud
I'll tell Max, thanks! :)
do you have the link to the instructions for this project, i cant find it anywhere?
What a cool project. Amazing work! I wonder if you can make one that can be magnetically mounted on your back with simple function and sounds.
I had plans to mount it to a vest, but ran out of time with this. Will bring it to the Hannover MakerFaire and see if I can mount it somehow.
@@Davedarko it would be cool to be able to walk around with BD-1 one your back.
Just found the video. Just a thought with the battery distribution board has voltage detection from it, could you give the pi some ability to read that data and maybe go into a standby mode or give you a voltage alarm....also you could use lithium ion eg 18650, maybe heavier than lipo but might give you a little bit more life..
I fried a second battery, so I definitely have to come up with a better battery solution!
how much did you think it cost to build it btw?
Omg !!! Very good o_O
How to make it? It is nice project
i cannot wait until the 2050s it will be a big year for all of the robots and way more advanced technology and cool sounding music and cool cars just try to make it happen my pale :)
Hehe, my pale. We definitely need to come up with even better power storage to get to lightsabers, but yeah 30 years from now will definitely look different.
did i missed how you when about the whole projector aspect of the project ?
it's the cheapest thing from amazon, I just removed most of the case before putting it in :)
@@Davedarko ahhh okay i gotcha thanks Dave!
When are you going to get it to walk?
Give me ten years? Depends on what you would allow to pass for walking, but bipeds are hard and balancing this seems tricky. If you know of anything remotely close, please let me know!
Can we get a parts list and a how to build video? Would make for an awesome DIY job....😁
Hey Eckhardt. There should be files for laser cutting and 3D printing most of the parts on the community platform - there's a link in the description that leads you there, where there are also links to most of the parts that I've used. But I would not advertise this as an easy to follow thing to build :D Definitely a time and money sink and I've killed one or two batteries in the process. It also has this 85% finished feeling, where to get to 100% I would have to redesign most of the parts and rebuild completely. Thank you for the interest! There are other people out there with very detailed 3D printing files, too - like Mr. Baddeley.
Thank you very much! I'm sorry for the late reply, I can't wait to build it! It's going to be so fun...😁
@2:50 why is this module there to begin with ? what's its purpose ?
The PI is notoriously know for bad timing for PWM and neopixels, the Arduino takes over those functions, controlling the LEDs and servos via the PWM board.
@@Davedarko thanks for the clerafication i never knew about the pi's issues with the pwm i never used it for that altho i just picked up from microcenter a pico so i will put that to the test because the hype was and still is going on so i cant pass up a $1.99 for a pi MCU.
@@arletpaz8010 the pi pico should do very well with servos and neopixels, good luck! :)
Hello there, Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours. Sorry to
ask out of place again, but don't know any better... Anyhow, i recently
dug up my first B&W TV that i bought when young and it can use a
bit of help. (Besides cleaning etc...). It's a Panasonic TV TR-729U. Can
you please point me to a link where i can get a schematic diagram for
it? Willing to pay for it, i just don't want to go to some website that
will eventually cause problems to my PC etc... Thank you very much for
your time...
Hey Anthony, sorry but I'm not able to help you with that. You might find someone who can help on the element14 community, but I'm not sure your chances are high there either. Sorry and good luck!
@@Davedarko Not a problem and thank you for the reply.
How much does this whole build cost?
I'm too scared to make a BOM and it's probably cheaper now that I know what parts to use.Roughly 4-500 Euros just estimated on parts.
@@Davedarko can I pay you to make me one? How much would you charge me? To build an ship it? Do you have a website?
@@wizardman4042 Sorry, but I don't do commissions.
Die Frage ist doch - was ist in der SWAG Box drin?
so sticker, anstecker und aufbuegler von diversen Makern und Firmen drumherum
I also like to have loyal companion.
who needs friends if you can have robot friends :)
Perhaps give it proper spoken (tonal) language - replace each letter with a tone, parse text strings into a series of tones? When he replies to queries (google ?) it'll be in his own language.
there's chirp out there, that kinda promises something like that and is also great for robots to communicate with each other. Definitely on my "do want" list!
"the wurst" rofl
tihihihi :)
Dude we are far ahead... XD Check our BD1 Builders Group on FB... :P
dude... rude :P I'm probably in it, but have a link?
also, if I "just" build stuff I see on facebook, I'll get s**t from people telling me I copied their work..
@@Davedarko Haha, dont take it serious. It was meant more like a joke. But maybe you'll find there some usefull resources, like a shaped PCB Design for the rear lights and so on and have some stuff you want to share. :) Also, you really should post this video over there! I think there will be many interessted people for this. :) And sorry again if it sounded rude, english isnt my native language, so I have still some problems expressing myself. :)
@@oburi85 no worries :) not my native language either and it's not helping that it's only written stuff. There are definitely better displays out there and spot on detailed prints and cool interactive projects out there :)
not a fan of any "music" in tech video's, maybe the robot could be used in "nebula 75" as a new enemy
never heard of nebula 75, but thanks? Feel the same about music normally, especially when it's louder than the person speaking or super obnoxious techno music or ukulele elevator/crowdfunding music. But here and with Ben Heck before I fee somewhat fine with that.
Early
true!

I've met James in Hannover at the MakerFaire once and we took a selfie together. With two other people we were test-driving his 3d printed Lego skateboard - fun times!
