IPhone controlled Arduino-based Tank via WiFi, xBees & Processing

arduino, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

    @sciencefreak2402 the iPhone app is called TouchOSC, I didn’t write it, but I really like how easy it is to build your own GUI in it and the fact that it uses OSC. It’s fairly customizable and works for most things, but obviously not everything since you are limited by their GUI elements.

    @sciencefreak2402 I’m not him but i can explain, Touchosc is an app usually used for controlling synthesizers it’s on the app store, it lets you create a UI to send controlling data to software synthesizers. In this case though, he is converting the OpenSound controls to serial data the arduino can understand on his compute, and this data is then sent along wireless Xbee modules to control the tank.
