WaterlooLabs demonstrates the remote control of a car using their iPhone while surfing on top of the vehicle in a new video posted on YouTube.
In part 1 of this episode we give a overview of how we turned an Oldsmobile Delta '88 into a remote control car in just 4 weeks. We built our control systems using a few motors, potentiometers, a Compact RIO embedded controller, and LabVIEW. We then set up wi-fi communication so we can drive the car from an iPhone as well as from a modified Power Wheels truck. For detailed plans, parts lists and code available for download, check out our website.
