Benduino Sideshow

The Benduino Sideshow circuit board was developed on order so that a static R2D2 can be equipped with dome movement and sounds.

The motor driver does not have to be used, any motor driver can be connected that is controlled via PWM or serial protocol (if you write your own code), since the pins are also available as a terminal in addition to the conductor track.

In addition, some pins are freely accessible and all important pins are on terminals.

The currently available sketch is not yet final but fully functional. It controls random dome movements and plays random sounds from the SD card.
The next sketch version should offer a web interface with which further settings etc. will be possible.

If you want to build your own board select DIY Kit. You’ll get the PCB with smd components pre-soldered. The other components are pretty easy to source.
