Wifi Eblock car controled by an Android phone accelerometer

[benp]

In my last topic, I explained how to switch on a led with a phone with a only 5 steps flowcode program:

This post is still open to explain how to send/receive data with a very simple flowcode program.

Next step: no flowcode program required.
Project: You will know soon


Material:

• 1 EB069 wifi E-Block
  1 Sabertooth motor driver (from dimension engineering)
  2 motors+wheel+free-wheel
  1 standard 20 pitch mm board for mechanic(20 mm pitch adaptable) and electronic(e-blocks) (developed at INSA Lyon)
  12v+5v supply (I use EB006 - that's the quickest solution for me !!!)
  1 android phone

What can we do with that?



1/2 hour to mount and more time for the photo:

You will know what it is possible to do with this in my next post...

Happy new year!!!

The step2 is the quick test of the car.
The tests are performed with the "packet injection" android application. This can be done with netstuff too.

Here is a video which show the vehicle test with packet injection.

There is still no program to do with this!!!

It is possible to control left and right wheel with send number (1-127 for left, 128-255 for right, see sabertooth manual).

This is an easy Android project.
You just need to send the data orientation to the wifi EBlock.
I write the orientation on the phone screen but that's not really necessary and that's the most difficult thing to do in the project. It works with just "Hello world" on the screen.

Then you just have to tilt your phone to drive the car forward, backward, left or right. Look at the video if you don't understand

Here is a picture:
