    Hi from France

    Hi ! I've been participating in the forum for a couple months but I realized I didn't introduce myself, so here it is : I started collecting about one year ago, I'm focused on 1/6th scale Star Wars figures, mainly Hot Toys but also some of the older Sideshow figures. I'm especially interested...

    Help from electronic savvy collectors please! Hot Toys R2D2 lighting mod

    I guess something like 5€ + shipping ... haven't thought on any detail yet, but that should fit in a regular bubble envelope. I was telling myself it would also be possible to make it cycle automaticaly between each position : all lights off / only projectors / all lights on, with any timing...

I'm using Microchip's tools to program it (Pickit 4 + MPLAB X), I know there exists other third party tools to program these microcontrollers but I have no experience with them. You will find the .hex file here if...

    N could be any of them M would be preferably one on the upper part of the board, not the ones on the integrated circuit ... one of the points I mistakenly marked "M" on the IC is in fact one of the leads to the speaker, but I can't figure out which one without unsoldering some wires. M is the...

    Help from electronic savvy collectors please! Hot Toys R2D2 lighting mod

    Hello, I'm interrested in exactly the same modification as you (powering the LEDs with an external power supply), so I disassembled my R2 and started to look at the circuitry. I have a first version of a schematic below, where only the three white projector LEDs a figured for the moment. To...
