With everyone wanting to do this mod, I better buy him soon before they are all gone.

Just placed my order with Amazon, once my Wife sees it, I'm afraid she might not let me do the necessary surgary.
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?

Because of the complexity of what you are doing, in my opinion, a kit would probably be your best bet as far as the electronics go. I would like to know how you modified his arm, that seems to be something an average person would be able to do?
