It currently controls 13 dome panels, an &#8220;MP3 Trigger&#8221; sound board, dome &#8220;Teeces&#8221; lights, holoprojector lights and movements, and any I2C gizmos you can add-in yourself. It has lots of pre-programmed effects coordinating lighting, sounds and movements. This site contains the information on how it works, the components necessary, how to buy or build them yourself, and lastly, how to customize it to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Demo of the MarcDuino system<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"R2-D2 iPhone App!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w58oTCkZQGw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system is centered around the MarcDuino automation boards which typically reside in the Droid&#8217;s dome. There are two kinds, the Master and the Slave board. Both are very similar to each other &#8211; they mostly differ by the firmware that runs on them. The two videos below explain what each board does. Watching the videos will help you understand how the system works. Note that the videos feature the &#8220;v2&#8221; boards, but I now recommend the &#8220;v1.5&#8221; boards (newer despite the strange numbering) which are currently available and functionally equivalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">MarcDuino Main Board<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MarcDuino v2 Master Board for R2-D2 animatronics\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jeGLv9i5Izk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">MarcDuino Client Board<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MarcDuino v2 Slave Board for R2-D2 animatronics\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jT8Hrke5wpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">MarcDuino System Links<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The links below will take you to the reference pages that show you how to build your system, order or build the boards, interconnect them, use the app, and even modify and expand the system to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-background is-stacked-on-mobile has-very-light-gray-background-color\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07747-1-1024x676.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07747-1-1024x676.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07747-1-300x198.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07747-1-768x507.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DSC07747-1.jpeg 1439w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/?page_id=11\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"11\">MarcDuino boards<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete guide on how to choose, build or order and connect the MarcDuino boards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-vertically-aligned-center is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:25% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iOS3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iOS3.png 480w, https:\/\/marcduino.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iOS3-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/marcduino.com\/?page_id=38\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"38\">R2 Touch App<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to setup and customize the iPhone app<br>(Note: there is also an Android R2 Touch app not build by myself, but developed with my blessing.
