In the meantime, many new pictures of H015 have surfaced, and also a youtube video from the Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 (where H015 appears at 3:35). These show a few details that were not visible in the first circulating images on which my build is based. At this point, however, I already planned to make a few deviations from the original. H015 plays only a minor role in TFA, which explains why its set of features was limited to motion and a blue light. But I am not primarily interested in a perfect replica, but more in a cool droid. So today, I show the first extras of my H015 build in the openings in the lower body.
The original H015 has openings on the left and right sides of the body. The first pictures showed the left side, and it is this pattern that I am using for both sides. In addition, I am adding a smaller opening at the center of the front side. The openings will hold a power switch, a micro USB connector (for programming the Arduino), three ultrasonic distance sensors HC-SR04 (for avoiding obstacles), a microphone capsule (for responding to sound), and a volume knob on a PAM8403 2x3Watt amp.
When the cardboard structures are glued into the body, this is how my H015 looks like:
The electronic devices will be mounted later, after painting.
