Notes on electronics...
🕑 Added 2017-06-09 05:59:59 +0000 UTC Obviously there's many ways of bringing Artoo to life with different electronic solutions. I thought I'd share my purchases so far and the build. I'm going for a Padawan 360 control. This is based around an Xbox 360 controller and put together by Dan Kraus https://github.com/dankraus/padawan360.I've got so far:

I'll post some code examples which should help when I get chance.
i was wondering, can you offer any imput on how to move the arms using the adafruit and xbox360

No, It should go to something like this: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HJ35F2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I262JJYGGJE4RK&colid=28VAHDSIL37L0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HJ35F2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I262JJYGGJE4RK&colid=28VAHDSIL37L0</a>

Thanks for all this Michael! I'm curious, the Ground Loop isolator link brings us to the Arduino sketches. Is that correct?
