iPhone robot with Arduino

fuck jailbreaking im getting an arduino =D

[ghettokon]

Yes! it works pretty well~

[geekionizado]

Can't believe, did you use photocells to recognize light on the screen of the iphone?

[pr4wn5tar]

this isn't shit.

[ghettokon]

Ahh I think to use minicom you need to jailbreak you iphone...

[half4team]

Can i maybe get a copy of your code used on the iphone? Mine is jailbroken!

[half4team]

Indeed! You can make your own serial cable with an iphone car charger of some brand and change the pins wich are connected inside. Pin 11=GRND pin 12=tx pin 13=rx pin 18=+3.3V(iphone internal power).

Then install minicom through cydia and configure it using terminal on iphone ( root$> minicom -s)

Let me know if you get somewhere!

[half4team]

With fw 2.x i managed to get a gps working with minicom. Also a rx/tx connection. This is still working so there should be a way right?

[half4team]

Ah i see, but how do you communicate then?i'm looking for a way to connect some controller to my iphone through the iphone connector. Rx/tx

[half4team]

I have been looking for this. Can you tell me where to find the code and setup of hardware? And do you have a project page?

[ghettokon]

i pretty much built this out of scraps, and construction boards, Arduino code is fairly easy, just read analogue pins, and set up your protocol for communication. I don't have a detail step-step documentation, my bad.

[ghettokon]

Oh, that you have to jailbreak the phone, as far as I know you won't be able to get access to hardware TX/RX at this point with the standard iPhone SDK.
