Talk about a wired car and guess what controls the works? You got it, an iPhone!
“Quick demo of accessing a web server linked to an Arduino in my RX-8 from an iPod Touch so it can be started, stopped, locked/unlocked, current location shown on Google Maps, and engine parameters displayed.”
Have a look at this cool control system! An iPhone is rigged up so that it can control a TV Lift which raises and lowers a TV out of the ceiling. This is a great example of a functional and fun project that your versatile iPhone is perfect for.
“The software for this project is deceptively simple. The iPhone software basically connects to the server using a socket, and if the “up” button is pressed it sends a ‘u’ over the socket, and a ‘d’ if the down button is pressed. That’s it! Server software is almost identical, however it listens to the return of the serial port and expects my controller board to return a ‘U’ or a ‘D’ from the ‘u’ and ‘d’ command. If these are received, the board is reset and the command is tried again.”
If you loved the original Wolfenstein 3D you need to check out this iPhone virtual joystick by Alex Winston.
“ Talk bi-directionally between an iPhone and iPod touch without the need for jailbreaking and only using 2.0 SDK published libraries. The demo illustrates integration with Wolfenstein3D and a virtual joystick that allows for control of movement.”
