Control a slightly modified RC car in a natural way through movements of your mobile phone!

ShakerRacer uses the acceleration sensor of e.g. the Nokia N95 and sends the steering commands via Bluetooth to the car.

Something for the next James Bond?

  • did u use any software

  • The mobile phone uses a custom written Python script that does the graphical visualization and transforms the movements into steering commands for the car.

    On the car, we have replaced the wireless receiver unit with our own Bluetooth module and a small microcontroller (again with custom software), which translates the protocol into the standard way of communication from any toy car.

  • i hate thoses trucks used to have one broke in one minute.

  • The truck you see in the video is rather low quality and also not in the best condition anymore. However, the new truck is based on a metal frame and much more stable - no problems so far!
