Hello! I'm Dan Kraus and a Software Engineer by trade living in the Boston area. I do a little open source development here and there but my main contributions are maintaining Padawan360, an Arduino based control system designed for remote controlling a life-size R2-D2 replicas with Xbox 360 game controllers.

Padawan360 is well documented and straight forward code to make modifying and adapting to individuals needs as easy as possible. Padawan360 has been adapted to control other robots (mostly from the Star Wars universe) because of its flexibility. I frequently help troubleshoot 1 on 1 with people not familiar with Arduino, electronics, etc via email and video calls.

Sponsorship is really just a nice nod and thank you to buy me a beer. Plenty of people have offered via email, but unfortunately, I cannot 3d print beer.
