Description
This is a remote control app for members of the R2 Builders Club. Apart from looking pretty, and playing sounds (if you upload them to the application), it doesn't do anything unless you are building an R2-D2 replica robot and have MarcDuino receiver boards (as described in www.marcduino.com and on my build log on Astromech.net).
R2 Touch may be playable on Windows and macOS using Android emulators such as BlueStacks. Follow our BlueStacks installation guide to get started. Looking for R2 Touch APK? Visit our forums for help finding authorized downloads, installing APK files, and troubleshooting installation issues.
