Video: Nokia N95's built in accelerometer used to control a remote car
The built in accelerometer in the Nokia N95 has been used to control light sabers, bouncing balls, and now it can even command a remote control car. Andreas Jackl from Forum Nokia has the details and a pretty insane video:
Since the API to read the data of the acceleration sensor of the N95 has been released a short time ago, a lot of applications using it have been released. Some examples are the original [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]-application from Nokia, the [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] or[Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]. It’s finally possible to reach a bigger target audience than a few months ago when we released [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] and [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...], which were only supported by the Nokia 5500 Sport.
Control a real car in a natural way by tilting your phone!Now we wanted to take the acceleration sensor of a mobile phone to the next level and use it to control something literally “bigger” than an application that is running on the phone itself.
The result is called “[Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]” (thanks to Adam Montandon for this great name!). Stephan Selinger, one of our professors, bought a normal RC car for about €90 and “tuned” it. Not in the traditional way, but instead he replaced the standard remote control component with an own microcontroller and a Bluetooth-module.
Using the Python module [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] from cyke64, it was possible to write a small application that translates the movements of the N95 acceleration sensor to commands that can be understood by the car. This enables you to go as fast as 30 km/h by just tilting your phone!
It is a bit similar to the control scheme of games like [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...] for the Nintendo Wii, with the huge difference that it’s now in real life. Another idea that has a bit in common is [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]where a skateboard can either be controlled by your own movements (like the [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...]) or with a PDA through a Bluetooth connection – but through the stylus on a touch screen and not intuitively like it is possible with acceleration sensors.
Of course connecting the tile of the phone with a real toy car involves you as a player a lot more than the traditional controller ever could, making it a lot of fun!
If you’d like to see it in action, check out the short video that we have made available at YouTube. Enjoy! As usual, you can find more information at [Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...].
James Bond would have loved it...
