I've been fiddeling (and succeeding) with the hardware serial ports on my android phone, no time lately though.  I wrote up some of what i did on a crappy dissorganised website

@Greg Fletcher: Thank you for describing the product you want. The positive intention of rejection is to move away from relationships that aren't working and make room for ones that are. Good job experiencing and sharing your rejection.

 

Serial ports: iPhone serial port requires an MFi license: developer.apple.com/programs/mfi. I can't say much more without violating my NDA. Android serial ports come in a great variety depending on manufacturers and models. The fragmentation makes it challenging to to target the "Android platform" with a physical dongle, especially if you I want to sell to people who don't want to root their phones.

I'm in and deeply involved with GeoBAT, lets make one fly with the IPHLY! PM coming.

 

Cheers!

I payed my $70! Looking forward to this one.

Thank you for your support Chris! Jack is a very colorful character. Geobats are amazingly stable--and have an extraordinarily wide speed envelope. The weird thing is that Jack bases the design on geometric forms rather than aerodynamics.

Ari,

Yes you are correct by your observation. Jack got rather lucky on that one. We are now adding some science and education to the design. Starting to turn into something that one could fly in!

Looking forward to the release of the IPhly. Are there setting to set things such as throws, rates and expo?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

There are throws and rates. I am working on adding expo. Anybody know a useful formula?

 

Ari.

And here's what makes projects succeed! I'm back from Weak Signals Show in Toledo. The response there is phenomenal. And the booth bunnies are phenomenal, too :=)

 

Thank you for all of your support.

 

Ari.

Just to make clear, these aren't my booth bunnies. I didn't even have a booth. These are from higherplaneproductions.com
