Got the Grogu doll from Amazon. Can't find the tear down instructions mentioned in the thread. Greatful if someone can point me in the right direction. I consider soldering an extension cable from the sensor to the flipper button, like in this video:

How much of the doll do you remove?

Grogu is alive!

Quoted from sslakkerr:

I'd prefer to make it activate/deactivate automatically, but not really sure what a good trigger for that would be since it would need to be something only on during a game...

I soldered a wire to the capacitive sensor on Grogus head and placed the end of the wire near the left flipper button (similar to the video below). That way it is only activated during play. I did place it a bit differently though, so that it is not registering touch all the time. Makes Grogu move a bit more randomly and saves battery (as I also still use the battery box).

Big thanks to AceJedi and Driftin8ez!

Quoted from Tekman:

lock9 DarthPaul Pinballpal Sorry for the lack of reply, I don’t check Pinside very often. I have no problem sharing some details on how I made it for tech savvy types. Finding the time is hard right now as I’m in the middle of a couple retro computer projects at the moment that I need to finish up. I’ll start with sharing important details from the comments of my microcontroller code that clearly explains how I'm interfacing with Grogu. Keep in mind that I use a generic mod PCB based on the PIC12F683 that I designed back 2007 that I use with most of my small projects. It uses transistors on the outputs, even when I’m using relay modules and aren’t really necessary. So, keep that in mind when you see code outputs as high from the microcontroller that it’s actually firing the relay module low.
I guess I'm not opposed to offering kits or just releasing the plans publicly for non-commercial use. I consider this an advanced project build because of modifying the arm and soldering directly to Grogu's control board. My fear is that kits might be too difficult for most and just offering schematics, wiring diagrams, and code publicly is probably just about useless to almost everyone. I really don't want to deal with offering complete builds. If I did, it would be a small run in June and probably wouldn't be cheap. What do you think is the best approach?
