make it walk.. maybe an uneven wheel of sort to make it waddle (that is a short cut... )... but I am guessing you will need to reposition the battery compartment.. and the on and off switch.. or bundle all the original parts and add robot legs or wheels? I am not sure how you can go about it LOL ..
I appreciate how carefully you take apart and put him back together! I’ve seen a lot of people who just destroy the toy to get inside which seems really wasteful to me
I have an interest in circuit boards and motors to. It’s so cool how small dc motors can be powered by electricity and that you can control when an output signal will be put on the wires to the motors from the circuit board! I hope I got that right lol. I’m kind of a beginner to circuit boards and dc motors
I guess the $60 price point is more understandable if they didn't go cheap on what makes him tick on the inside. Hopefully this means he will keep working for a long time.
Might be a big ask but make the egg carry cot, attach to a base with a clear tube to mimic floating and put wheels in the base to make it mobile. As for the hack, have the child sleep and rise up in egg when the lid opened
Thank you RanHam335, My inquisitive mind would've had problems putting it back together. I did ok in days past repairing VCR gears by adding a rubber band, but always had left over screws, though VCR still worked. Thanks for saving my Grogu from botched surgery. :)
I knew I would find a video on the internet that would show me this. I just bough one for a Halloween table display. I wish I could turn it on with a push button switch I could hide behind some thing. I could have it go off when they were at a perfect spot. Thanks for the video, I subscribed.
Thanks for die Video. Made it much easier to find to the huge soldering BLOB, that made a short-curcit on the motor. Good to know, there are some people out there who are much worse at soldering than me xD
That’s way old tech from the days of clockwork automata (like those singing birds), I congratulate the Disney designers for adapting it to modern electronic toy animatronics.
I really like this video, you did a great description of the toys functions. I also disassembled him. I finally figured out how to trigger his Capasitence sensor using a Relay and a High/Low signal from an Arduino micrcontroller. I used an Android voice recognition App and bluetooth to tell the toy to do its sound and animations. I posted two videos on my youtube page... I also made his hand glow Blue when he does his force move. Hardware hacking is such good fun...
Totes don't underestimate the power of the Nuvuton chip!! The ones I've worked with in the past were pretty cool; in their 'toy line' of chips (everything from 8/16(gross)/32 bit), they add a dope audio processor with like a 1/8W(?) amp into the chip and holy jeez that's a god send in toys. They even have M0 core's for under a buck (depending on mem size...)! *not an ad, just spent way too much time in the trenches with the chip family :)*
Great video, saves me from opening mine, did it get any quieter in operation after you reassembled it? The mechanism in mine seems louder than it should be, i have seen lots of reviews and can never pick up the mechanisms noise like i can on mine, some reviewers have even commented on how quiet it is. Yours even seems a lot quieter than mine from your audio. I was planning on opening it up to see if any of the mechanisms were bottoming out due to shipping wear or even at least just to lubricate it more. I was really expecting it to be quieter, its a real distraction while operating, it takes a lot from the cuteness of the toy. Mine is cute until i turn it on.
If the movements and voice start stuttering and stopping mid action, what do you think would be the issue and how would I fix it? Batteries have been replaced.
Hi, I'm thinking of modifying this. Would the Capacitance sensor in his head work through plushie / soft toy fur (of about an inch thick, maximum)? Please help! Many thanks
another question can robo-raptors be a kids toy I think not because once guard is pressed it just won't move at all it gotta be as simple with the walking what causes it to walk answer is springs which is truly weak with frsh batteries my robo-sapien can't walk because he won't waddle but both robo-raptor's legs won't move lso another issue is how that motor's wiring is melted right through once uncut it can't be glued right back in hey got r2-d2 and BB8 but that motor if it strips its done wowwee's motors are real well with attachable wires got robo-sapien fixed so it's walk motor definitely dead and got it fully replaced
My Baby Yoda Animatronic no longer works well. It freezes and is no longer in sync with movement and sound. What can I do? can you help me? I can send you a video of the malfunction if you prefer. Thank you.
Hey, I was wondering if you still had this Grogu and if you could possibly help me? The Grogu animatronic I have has started to glitch. I've changed the batteries multiple times and still the same... just freezing and stopping in the middle of movements. I went ahead and purchased a whole stock of new Grogu's (LOL YES I KNOW) for future scenarios... essentially the goal is to change out all the parts. Just a simple swap, which from your video here made it very easy. HOWEVER, I would like to keep the eyes on the current Grogy. Looking at it, there seems to be a tiny rod going through the back of the eyes to keep them stabilized. But I'm having difficulty pulling that out in order to take the eyes off. I was wondering/hoping (since you're literally the ONLY video I could find on YT) if you could take a look at it and let me know if there's something I'm missing? I don't want to be aggressive and risk breaking 'whatever' may actually be on the inside of that bridge area. I mean, it just be glue but I don't know. I'd truly appreciate any assistance for this. And thank you for this video as well. Certainly made the rest of the process very easy and simple for me. ☺️👍
Thank you for doing this video! I didn’t expect the body to be so hollow inside. Can you do a video where you dismantle Hasbro’s Marvel Deadpool animatronic head? I am wondering what’s inside that also.
how does the touch sensor work? i want to trigger the force motion with an arduino and voice command, so he uses the force to switch on a light or something
Hi, Same problem here, started with glitchy voice, but movements kept working ok. The problem was fixed by resoldering the speaker wires to the speaker in the tummy. Wires are so thin that they get loose from the movements.
the main Issues I have with this type of technoligy in robotics should springs break after a short time because if the springs continue to move these and they asking for repeairs the problem is how the thing is moving by then springs indisde I think the only option that will improve that is a 3d printer that can print metal back into place of the springs snapped off in half also if such a fool would bring him out on a hot day his ware in tear shouldn't break that easly
Good morning and please help if you want i will really be glad. Suddenly grogu start to make a strange "malfunction". When you touch his head make noises like it takes multiple orders and also make the noise of sleep-close eyes etc, after a while wakes up again. If you touch him 3 times continually makes the force noise with his hand, if you put him to sleep, he sleeps well all seems ok at this part. But why when ypu touch his head one time makes one to three voices with 3-10 secs delay and sometimes he sleeps also? Is something with the sensor? is the fuse? is smth else? Any ideas? Really any ideas will help. The reason is that my gf is crying from yesterday that this happen and i have to find a solution. Well all starts because i was watching football and touch the little grogu all the time to support my team with me. Stupidity i know. Also is forbidden to take another one because she wants only him. I ll be really glad if anyone can answer. Thanks in advance!!
Obvio* El bato trabaja con animatronicos de Chuck e cheese es obvio que ya sabe que es un animatronico, solo esta mirando el juguete por dentro para ver como funciona y es inglés, por si no te as dado cuenta.
If I hack this, what should I make it do?
Make both arms move.
Not sure if you're able to access the sound board, I would try and remove that force sound.
Ideally, lift an X-Wing out a swamp. But you may need more than 2 servos :)
Mod the Mattel one and get rid of force sound
Make him sing never gonna give you up
make it walk.. maybe an uneven wheel of sort to make it waddle (that is a short cut... )... but I am guessing you will need to reposition the battery compartment.. and the on and off switch..
or bundle all the original parts and add robot legs or wheels? I am not sure how you can go about it LOL ..

Whenever I get a toy like that I always take it apart to see it’s mechanics as well!
I was surprised how tear down friendly it was.
What have you done!🤯. Im telling Mando

That's quite an imagination!

Damn! You tortured the cuteness 😪
Would love to see the inside movements/sound with the Mattel 11 inch sculpt and a proper body.
I was thinking the same thing - nicer doll with vinyl parts and legs with this inside
With super noisy motor grinding noise also lol
This is the only toy I have ever seen that doesn’t have a black blob chip. I think because it’s not cheap.
Thanks for die Video.
Made it much easier to find to the huge soldering BLOB, that made a short-curcit on the motor.
Good to know, there are some people out there who are much worse at soldering than me xD
Great vid!
Helped me with adding some volume reduction padding in the body
QUESTION - my Yoda is now mute.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thank you.
So this is why the empire wanted the child

Yeah threw me for a loop that the audio was being generated from there
Does the audio only come out through 1 pin? Also does this chip allow rewrites or is it locked in at programming?

How do you swap out his voice box as our Grogu has lost his?
cool video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Maybe you can put a small human doll face on it to make it look human.
baby dorkel
@@RanHam YES, Please make one!....LOL
I also have this toy at my house.
Did somebody tried to program Nuvoton chip inside Yoda using ISP?
Is that toy in stores now? and if so what stores is he in? thank you.
The SW2 is not a capacitor. It senses lying down to trigger the sleep script.
I was hoping you could get it working again or Mickey might not let you work on figures anymore! Haha
everyone: OMG THIS IS SO NEW AND EXICITING BEST TOY OVER
furby collectors: this is just another furby ripoff...
even his innards are just like the furby connect
Haha, Furby collector here and I can definitely see the resemblance!
What if we change his sound
Thank you for doing this video! I didn’t expect the body to be so hollow inside. Can you do a video where you dismantle Hasbro’s Marvel Deadpool animatronic head? I am wondering what’s inside that also.
The chip seen in 9:59 was made by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuvoton
how does the touch sensor work? i want to trigger the force motion with an arduino and voice command, so he uses the force to switch on a light or something
It's a capacitance sensor
@@RanHam is there a way to bridge the sensor with a switch? Maybe with a capacitor?
Poor baby Yoda... 😢
What kind of the battery? AA?
kids, don't look...🤣
Our Grogu has lost his voice, any way to replace it ?
Hi, Same problem here, started with glitchy voice, but movements kept working ok. The problem was fixed by resoldering the speaker wires to the speaker in the tummy. Wires are so thin that they get loose from the movements.
Who rove wants just an animatronic inside

It looks there is not as many part inside as Furby.
Can I come to you when mine stops working? 😂
no child murdered or tortured for this video
Mechanism of feet move is missing.
