A collection of BB8 mods

CC BY 4.0

Things I've done to my BB8 along the way.

Chargeport and Power Switch

The relay I used can be found on Amazon, but I have seen comparable models elsewhere.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6Y7LVW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Charge port power switch - Replaced the wireless relay with a solid state one.

Dome Lenses

New lenses for addressable LEDs, intended to remove the hot spots.

Lens for front logics, print 2 of these

Lens for back logics

Halo Eletronics Mount

Lowers the center of gravity for the battery, provides a mount for the dome's electronics and a switch. The switch is easily accessible and the dome can be plugged in to charge while on the droid.

Halo Brace

Halo Battery Mount

Halo Switch Mount

New Lens for Panel 2

P2 Square Lens STL - A neopixel lens used with Cary's thin panels, this fits in panel 2's square cutout.

Wireless firmware uploads and control!!!!

One, if not my favorite mods.

Wireless Firmware Upload and Editing - With a few simple modifications you can upload new firmware and edit your drive settings no disassembly required.

WAGO Connector Mount

WAGO Axle Mount STL - Easily secure WAGO connectors to your axle using a zip tie. Can support 4 WAGO connectors per axle.

Things I've passed up...

Mount for induction power coils. These slide into the Halo setup easily. I decided to not go this route because of the enefiecient power transfer. The transmitter coils tolerance for out of spec voltage was bad. I fried my first. After regulating it, then looking at the power recived on the other end, it about a 50% power loss. That coupled with the expensive slip ring and parts, I decided to abandon my effort. But it's here if you like.

Halo Receiver Mount - The receiving mount which attaches the magnet mounts.

Halo Transmitter Mount - The transmitter mount which attaches the mount inside the body.

Halo Electronics Mount - The board for the dome slides into this mount.
