Abathandi be-Star Wars bafumene indlela yokuhambisa uthando lwabo lweSaga kwi Hardware Libre. Ke, baninzi abasebenzisi abenza okanye bazame ukuphinda iirobhothi kunye needrones ezivela kwiifilimu zeStar Wars. Eyona idumileyo kuzo zonke ezi robhothi ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo yi-R2-D2, kodwa kukho ezinye iimodeli eziphindaphindwayo. Elokugqibela ukufumana Ukuvunywa kukaLucasfilm ibiyirobhothi eyi-R4-P17, irobhothi ehamba no-Obi-Wan Kenobi.
UAlejandro Clavijo wenze irobhothi efana ne-R2-D2, eneenkuni kunye nealuminium. Ingqondo ye-R4-P17 yenziwe ngamabhodi amane eArduino, amabini kuwo Arduino UNO ezilawula intshukumo kunye nolwazi lwee-sensors iirobhothi ezinazo ngaphakathi. Ezinye iibhodi zijongana nemisebenzi enjengolawulo olungenazingcingo okanye ulawulo lwamazibuko e-USB, amazibuko anenguqulo yobugcisa yale robhothi inayo.
I-R4-P17 isungula iQela leMidlalo yeDrone yoMlobi
Irobhothi eyi-R4-P17 yimodeli esebenzayo ngokupheleleyo nangona ingafani naleyo iboniswe kumdlalo bhanyabhanya. I-R4-P17 eyenziwe ngu-Alejandro Clavijo isebenza ngokuchanekileyo kwaye ikhupha izibane, nangona kunjalo Ayizukukwazi ukuqhubekeka kwaye ayinasandi okanye ilizwi njengezinye iirobhothi kwi-saga ye-Star Wars. Nangona kunjalo, isakhiwo kunye nokubonakala kuyinyani kangangokuba inkampani evelisa kwaye inamalungelo e-Star Wars, uLucasfilm, uye waqaphela kwaye waqinisekisa le projekthi. Isiqinisekiso sokuba iiprojekthi ezimbalwa Hardware Libre baphumelele ngeli xesha.
Kwaye abo bathanda ukwenza replicas esebenzayo, Le modeli inokuphinda iveliswe kwakhona, iphuculwe okanye yenziwe ngokwezifiso ngenxa yesikhokelo sokwakha sinokufumana ntoni kwi iwebhusayithi esemthethweni yeprojekthi. Isikhokelo esichaza inyathelo ngenyathelo, ngemifanekiso kunye nayo yonke ikhowudi eyimfuneko, ulwakhiwo lwe-R4-P17.
