Progress update - better late than never!

Well, I've been busy building but not updating my build blog it seems...!  Progress has been a bit slower than I hoped as the room I was using for my build is currently out of action as we are having an extension built!

Anyway... I'll start just by posting a load of photos from the last few months of my build.

As you'll see the 232 is installed and working, I changed the dome position holder and the dome drive mechanism and have updated the electronics to include a wifi receiver which works with an iPhone app - more on that in a later post.  Most of the Dome is complete (apart from the lifters) and the body is getting there.

I'll post separate updates for specific parts later... enjoy....!

    Hi collinstkd,

    just looked through your blog and seen how great your droid is - ive been looking for a long term project to start and figured an r2 might be a good shout - you're pretty local to me and ive seen you're on astromech.net I'm looking for someone to talk to about building a droid - let me know if you would be willing to chat - I'm fairly local to you down here on the south coast of the UK
