Team 4095 Presents: iPhone Driver Station!
I present to you a FULLY FUNCTIONING iPhone driver station!

Right now it is a late beta stage, everything does work, Enabling, Disabling, auto, teleop, joysticks, buttons, accelerometer joystick and the camera!

We have successfully controlled our robot with my iPhone without the need of the FRC driver station!

This will be fun to use since you can just pull your phone out and turn your robot on and boom robot control at your fingertips instantly!

This will be released to the app store soon once I make some minor safety upgrades such as if you drop your phone the robot will disable.

I might add in the ability to connect to the main phone controlling with another phone via bluetooth and use the second phone as a secondary joystick!

Here are some images:

The Android SDK has an emulator for devices :) Its also free. I get the impression that they did everything in their power to encourage people to develop apps for it

Also, google play's app-critiquing process is not so rigorous

Sounds super cool!

Can we make it run Cheesy Vision? On the downside, it would be particularly hard to take Cheesy Vision Selfies...

I'm sure there are plenty of FIRSTers who would be happy to port it to Android. Maybe even as part of FIRST Summer of Code. If you made the IOS version open source it would make it much easier to expand the app to new platforms.

Well I was planning on using this app as a fundraising technique, sell it for some on the app store and then our team will get a little extra money.

Maybe if we reach a quota or something I will release the source. But until then it will be closed source...

You could still sell the app and release it as open source. I doubt anyone would take the time to copy the code and publish the app if it was available for a reasonable price.

Very cool! This would be an awesome tool for demos or sponsor events!

Re: iPhone Driver Station!!!
That's awesome!!

I'm guessing it connects directly to the robot's wifi and then sends its data directly by socket?

Re: iPhone Driver Station!!!
Does this require any application-specific code on the cRIO side? I wouldn't be surprised if this requires the programmers to add a socket server to create a new protocol for communication

Nope you do not need to add ANYTHING!

It connects just like how the FRC Driver Station does! Joysticks are implemented the same way.

Also no implementation for the camera it is all independent and everything you need is in the app!
