This PCB was inspired by one of the most popular robots in sci-fi. It has a minimalist design, preserving its distinctive silhouette, and can emit R2D2's "beeps" with a small buzzer and emit light signals with an RGB LED (the buzzer and LED can be programmed with an Arduino board, for example).

To design this PCB I used two friendly and open-source softwares: Inkscape and Fritzing.

Inkscape: is a vector graphics editor. It's used to make the PCB shape, which will later be used in Fritzing to design the PCB.

Fritzing: is the tool used to design the PCB (arrange the parts, do the routing, export the files to produce the PCB).

I've used this method to design several PCBs before, and it's a very easy way, even for beginners. Anyone interested can follow the steps in this tutorial I wrote: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Custom_PCB_shapes_with_Inkscape_and_Fritzing.html

R2D2 PCB looks good in any color!

What color will you choose? :)
