RC Paraglider driven by Smartphone over Bluetooth

http://www.vimeo.com/13185002
Here is a project I've been working with for several days,
and after 2 bluetooth modules and a Corona 2.4ghz exploded, I finally get the connection between my smartphone and a microchip pic plugged with a bluetooth module.

As my Corona transmitter died I used my Spektrum DX6i as transmitter via the trainer port.

The video show the man a little shakky, this is because I'm only sending commands at 5Hz for start, I'll try to obtain a minimum of 10Hz latter.

The movement I'm doing at start is to give the software the boundary of the accelerator module.

I like that a lot!

Now what you need is to hold a phone in each hand and control it as if you were flying it yourself!
