Video: Use the iPhone to control R/C car…

Posted on September 8th, 2008 by Editorial Staff in Cell Phones, Gadgets, Geeky, Technology, Tips and Tutorials

If you remember, we previously featured something almost exactly the same with the Nokia N95. Of course for the iPhone, it gets more sophisticated. In this very similar hack or mod, whatever you like to call it, an application is used, called OSCemote. It’s an application which sends data from the iPhone to a PC and this is done thru WiFi using OpenSoundControl protocol.

The interface of the remote control application if you like, has five buttons, four of them you can use for traditional driving and when you press the last one, it unlocks the accelerometer control of the iPhone in the same way as in many driving games that are currently available on AppStore.

Watch this demo video…

According to the two chaps from the Czech Republic, 18 year old Josef and his brother who came up with this brilliant idea, it only took them an afternoon for the project to be realised, click here for more details on the project and the hardware that’s been made to fit into the R/C!
