Totally cool project!!
I have android and I don't imagine myself owning an iphone in the foreseeable future.
The effort & creativity in projects such as these deserve support.
So I've signed up for $150.
I think I may give it to an iphone use'n buddy or donate it for one of the draws at my R/C club. On condition that I get to try it out from time to time.
Maybe it'll force me to get an iphone and keep it if I can't come to terms with "iphone-R/C-cool-stuff" ENVY. :)

I'll be watch'n for a Droid (nexus) version.

Does this adapter support iPhone4?

Yes

@Ari

 

Just wanted to say great work on keeping the RC world up to date with the modern age, Just one question though.  Does your app have the ability to be updated to use it with APM?  As I am thinking IMO that to have an additional toggle on the display to change the mode your APM is in would be helpful for a fully functional RC control.

great work.did the app store approve this??do they have to?does the unit drift?

Comment by Ari Krupnik on March 26, 2011 at 7:02am

@Thomas: I guess what you're asking for is a switch that can flip a channel from one preset to another, like a landing gear switch? That's easy to add.

 

@SciFly: I have App Store approval. The app is in iTunes now.

 

Not sure about the your question on drift. I use accelerometers for input.

Great project, I want the Android version if it is ported. I have a G1, I ordered a  FrSky DF 2.4Ghz Combo Pack for JR  from HobbyKing It should be here next week.

Hope you port it over. Thanks

Why don't you add a couple of joy sticks. I wouldn't want to fly a plane with this. What happens when a call comes in and you instinctively put it up to your ear? Just kidding ;)  I realy don't understand why you don't want sticks. I see no advantage and lots of disadvantages to this. When you center a joy stick you know you are trimmed centered. There is no tactile feedback with a tilting Iphone. When the Iphone can be a telemetry interface connected to an Xbee, I will get one.

the dock connector has a srial Tx and Rx indeed. attaching it to an Xbee should be simple (electrically), but plenty of programming under the hood.
