The Arduino based tank is controlled with the TouchOSC app for the iPhone to send OpenSoundControl signals to Processing which translates the signals to serial and sends it out via usb to an xBee module...which in turn get's picked up by another xBee module on the Arduino Tank. The Arduino tank is using an Ardumoto motor driver shield and has a LiPoly battery charger connected to a solar panel for easy charging.

  • Why on earth would someone make something like an open source remote control system on apple instead of android? That makes no sense.

  • @dabomb1357 there is an android version

  • really liked the project but I got a question. How come the iphone couldn't communicate directly with the xbee shield on the tank?? just curious. -Joe

  • @joebro391 It could, there is a Wifly shield and a wiFly xbee looking device out now that could easily replace the xbee modules and go straight to the phone.

  • Good UI for controls!

  • That's a damn expensive remote control

  • how far that think can go? the distance between you and the wifi bot..50m? 100m?

  • @SoundsFantastic just needed some oil.

  • @RChero1010 No, the controls are backwards - he's got the left going to the right and the right going to the left - watch him turn the tank. And FTLOG, don't be a d#$k! "do some research"...

  • @berber1899 touchOSC

  • @kenward777 a little oil fixed it.

  • really impressive that gear box needs some cleaning up though. pretty noisy

  • @joebro391 because apple hardware ans software is locked down so it's impossible to go simple with them
