This circuit provides a means to cycle the power on a Galaxy’s Edge droid (especially BB-units) to wake them up after they go to sleep (from 5 minutes of inactivity) by briefly tilting the droid upside down.

Here is an example of this PCB in action. Here are images of an assembled PCB.

In testing this circuit, when breaking the power connection to the droid, draws under 1mA of current. When power is connected to the droid, there is virtually no current drawn by this circuit. When the droid is asleep current draw is under 100uA. You could comfortably leave your droid on with this circuit in place and tilt it to wake it up when you want to use it without significant loss of battery life over months.

PCB silkscreen identifies the location of each component. The PCB can be mounted inside the droid wherever convenient as long as the switch is positioned such that it is open (off) when the droid is upright, but closed (on) when the droid is tilted upside down.
