Let's Make Robots!
This is my MIT acceptance tube hack. MIT asked us to hack our tubes, and so I did. "What does it do?" I am glad you asked! It falls over when something walks in … Read more

TouchOSC + Ipad + Processing

patrickmccabe's picture

I am just sharing something I am working on. I say it will be used to control some robots in the future. It may just turn out to be something I do for the heck of it. Any way.... Here is a video explaining a little of what I have. Basically the thing with using this setup is all the code is written on processing which can read the input from the app and output data to the app also. This could be used to control a robot via xbee and display information back to the  user on the app. I may write a tutorial on this in the near future.

Here is where it is at so far. More information will be added with time.

ezLCDuino Backpack

I am just going to make it clear that the boards are not currently going to come preprogrammed with some kind of serial LCD backpack code or other code. It will be up to you to program it how you please, but all the capabilities are there. I will be posting example code though and hopefully some tutorials to get started.
