Description

- Use with Build Your Own R2-D2 to control his functions and see his camera view. This app works with DeAgostini's Build Your Own R2-D2 and gives access to the droid's advanced functions. It will only operate when your R2-D2 has been fully assembled and powered up. Once the app is installed on your smartphone, you have two ways to pair it with R2-D2. You can either connect it directly to his internal router (Direct mode), or connect both devices via a local Wifi network (Local mode). To go into Local mode, you teach R2-D2 the Wifi connection of the area he is in using a unique QR code, which he will read using his camera.

In either connection mode, you have a choice of Video or Normal Control:

- When Video Control is on, your smartphone screen displays the view from R2-D2's camera, which will change as you drive him around or turn his head. A set of remote controls are superimposed at the bottom. You can capture still pictures or video from his point of view, storing the images in a Gallery within the app or copying them to the library on your phone. You also have a scrollable menu of automatic routines, which include being able to set him exploring his surroundings in an autonomous Patrol mode, turning on his lights and sounds, ejecting a lightsaber, and displaying video clips from his projector.

- When Normal Control is on, your smartphone operates like a conventional remote control, so you can watch as you direct R2-D2 around his environment. You also have access to the same automatic routines as in Video Control.

- An additional Settings control enables you to turn on voice control so that R2-D2 will respond to a range of spoken commands. Turning on facial recognition allows him to pick out a human face from the background and turn to follow it. You can also turn R2-D2's sound effects on or off.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

1 ★This goes out to all who has left a review. This app is not getting any updates I bought this when the company was deagostini now fanhome. The app is exactly the same when I first downloaded it the only update we got was different languages. These people have ripped us off with the price of this. They have charged us all extortionate price for shoddy parts. Camera is useless voice commands don't work due to poor mic. And the reason the wifi does not work is because camera not scan bar code.
5 ★App works as described. The fun part was building this.
5 ★U.S. hwythank yoy.
3 ★It's ok
1 ★Awful app
1 ★Shame on De Agastini! The audacity to charge $1,600 for this and the camera will not take a pic or record a video. Voice commands do NOT work. Bumps into things when it shouldn't because the sensors only work some of the time. I should file a class action lawsuit against this company. Look at all the negative reviews! No response from them either! Shame on you!
1 ★Eh
3 ★Everything works accept the photo and video button I want to take a picture or make a video but it keeps saying error so please fix this bs cause it would be awesome if you do Thanks Jeff g.
3 ★Build was fun. A lot of the things I was looking forward to doing with it don't work. It will not take photos or videos at all. It will not connect to a local wifi. Truly disappointed. For the price paid This should not be acceptable by the company at all. I've seen many reviews with the same complaints. I think it would be reasonable to reimburse people who have built this and been disappointed with it's lack of performance as described in the models abilities.
4 ★Most of the controls in the app work fine with the exception of the video control, I get an error when attempting to take a photo or video and the mic for voice commands. I also can't seem to get him to follow.
