iPhone Driver Station, No Computer Needed

[kgzak]

Looks sweet. I'd love to try this out. I'll be waiting. Is this app going to be free?

@kgzak
the finesse and approval process will probably take about 3 weeks or so, and im planning on either .99 or 1.99, but im leaning more towards 99 cents.

Are you using it as a fund raiser for your team?

[mobilegamer999]

not really, its more of a "help me through college" deal, but if the app turned significant profit, a good portion WOULD go to my team.

This sounds really interesting.

So it should work with any current robot, no matter what the programming language is? Will the cRIO properly recognize the "getY()" function from the Iphone?

Regardless, I can't wait for it to come out and test it.

Yes, the 2 virtual joysticks are mapped to when the robot does getX and getY.
and for second joystick its getRawAxis(3) - for x, and getRawAxis(4) for y

Wow, this looks pretty cool! May I suggest making this a free app? I think more people would be willing to give it a shot. Even though a buck is cheap, there are a ton of people who refuse to pay for apps.

As much as I would love to make this app free, because it IS the first community, I'm still trying to break even on the price of my apple developer license, but as soon as I break even on that, this would be the first app I would want to make free.

Is there a possibility to get a YouTube video up of it in action?

So I love the idea. I have been on the team for 9 years and wanted to see something like this come about. Luckily, there is a company that has already made an app to work with robots for the ipad and iphone. I will get more information on it but they were out in Michigan at somerset mall and where demoing off some amazing pieces of work.

Yah, just some little outfit called AndyMark ... http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ghlight=iPhone

Like Gary said.... check out AndyMark..... there is a company and developers that have this nailed down. The demo from what I have heard was great and has lots of WOW factors and is practical to some level. There are beta testers here in Michigan that have been part of the development. From what I understand the system is available, again, check out andyMark.biz as they are the retailers of it.

I saw the iAmDriver app a while ago when andymark first posted about it, but I decided to continue producing this application because this app is significantly different from iAmDriver because it doesnt cost $300, and requires no extra hardware or programming.

We recorded some videos at our last meeting, and once they are editied, they will be posted here.
