Title: iPhone + R/C car... the easy way
Post by: seanofthedead on December 03, 2010, 01:39:43 AM
Just finished making these. Control an R/C car, boat, plane, etc from any smart phone or PC. The board is only 1" x 2.8", no external power needed, no router needed, and has 2 analog inputs (0v-20v) for sensor inputs.

I would appreciate your feedback, as we're always trying to make these better.

Hello seanofthedead

I just joined this forum and I was reading the posts

I love your idea and I think its great to have this kind of products since almost everybody has an I-phone

But why do you limit it to RC cars, boats and planes? hmmm can you make it like a new kind of input that could be interfaced with an arduino or an axon board?

If that is the case you can use it with long range RF modules and you can easily extend the control range and increase the number of applications, especially if you could send back information to the I-phone
