RC Touch - turning iPhone or iPad into a RC controller for drones

Posted by Hex Air Robot on January 14, 2013 at 10:00pm

We ever posted a article in DIYdrones' forum to see the feasibility of turning iphone into a RC controller. It seems that people are not very keen on it, partly due to the lack of precise control through tilt action and partly due to the reluctance of giving up an actual control stick. So we disabled the tilt action and modified the interface into a RC simulation one. Then we give the full set of gadget-hardware that translates the signal coming out from headphone jack into radio and app in iphone or ipad to control drones-a name RC Touch:

the original interface of the app was like this:

We adapted this from iPhly
