Dream drone!

It's all done through vnc right now so the latency is bad, but that's easy to fix by using a dedicated app.... window 0 is video, window 1 is the debug output from vnc, window 2 is the output from the daughterboard and also where you send commands to steer with. Using channel 1 and 2 for steering, channel 3 for tilting the camera (well, tilting the mirror) so you have 5 free for a manipulator or whatever. Also 6 slots for sensors.
I'd like to point out that unlike a Predator drone, the video and data feeds have proper encryption
Sorry for the bad quality of the external pictures: I use the G1 as my main camera and had to dig out an old webcam.
Code and schematics for the daughterboard available on request, if you want a built-up daughterboard I gotta charge you for it, though.

FUNNY!!! great work, would like to see a vid of this assassin in action

Thats fantastic!

Hey brutal^ he developed some kind of WMD thats capable of missile mirages or inceptions.
Can it fly though?

The problem is that if you want a "first person" video I can take it, if you want to see it go not so much because I have no other video camera than the phone!

sorry, thought it was cool
where should this thread be moved to?

It doesn't matter anyways, you can't move it. Just wait for a mod to do it

Let me get this straight. You have created a vehicle which is controlled by a G1 which itself can be controlled remotely? is this done by Wifi or 3G? Please post more details, it looks like a fun thing to do once I retire my G1, especially if I could control it from another Android phone.

Yes, the G1 is connected to a daughterboard that uses the serial port on the ExtUSB plug to talk to a microcontroller, which in turn can deal with servos and sensors. The G1 can be controlled with ssh (I prefer to work in linux shell land) and sends images back via VNC. This can be done through any sort of network connection, I tested it with 3G and it works, now using wifi because I don't have to pay Vodafone for airtime that way. Next step is to get better video feedback and port the universal autopilot I wrote for the Parallax Propeller onto the g1.

I'm sorry but I really had to.

That'd be the next thing, once this works well on land I'll put it on a motorglider. well back to work sorry for posting in the wrong forum!

No... android development is when you develop Android, not hack the hardware. This isn't any new ideas or improvements, it's just an interesting use for what we already have.
Don't get me wrong, I think what you've done is extremely impressive (weird, funny, and makes me say "Why???!?!," but impressive). Kudos to you for your work. It's definitely not Android development, but it's a simple mistake, which is why everyone on this forum isn't bashing you mercilessly for it like we do when someone posts a thread here saying, "Plz help tried to instal dis moto clik thing n now all i see is Tmobil G1." A mod will move it soon, so don't sweat it.
But seriously, dude.... WTF?!? inspired you to do this?

I make my money building ship autopilots and wanted to do something that you can buy with less than $100 if you already have a g1. Also, I think those rc-car-with-camera toys are spiffy but have very limited range, so let's do something about that
re developing Android, I think this will turn into a "you see what my camera sees and viceversa" application, which I am sure has been done already, but I need to make it work through ssh.

I dont care if its develepment or not (nor the whys) I think if you have the knowledge to build something like this, then why the hell not its fun.
And its about the coolest thing I have seen in a while

This strikes me as incredible dumb, and incredibly naive on the part of Samsung. They really should not be promoting such a dangerous habit. It might "help" by showing you the road, but you are still distracted. Can;t wait to see samsung sued for such a blatantly stupid feature

Yes, because when you think ROAD you think "Lets talk a walk", moron. They can say its for walking, that doesnt mean people wont use it while driving. In fact, I'd wager the majority of its users will be driving.
Obviously, your brain was not made for THINKING, you know that thing where you make logical inferences based on the information present.

[Q] program for ir blaster

I am in Greece and peel is not working with full specs. Can you suggest any other program for using my tablet as a remote with multiple tv's. i have 2 different tv's. (Samsung & LG)

this isn't any help to you, but i am also wondering this. Ha ha don't look at other country's with envy because that app is pretty terrible which is why I wonder if there are any alternatives.

If either of you had searched you would have found plenty of info in this very forum about the IR blaster on the tab2.
Shame on both of you.

shame on you for not bothering to spend a little effort and search for your answer. Asking others to do the simple leg work you could have done. THIS is why you get a snippy reply because in the time it took you to post and also reply back to a user you could have googled and xda searched.
i spent 10seconds and searched "ir remote app"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647605&highlight=ir+remote+app&page=2
there's your answer, now learn from this moment and understand not everyone in the world will go and get things for you, sometimes you have to do things for yourself.

We were all new at one point in time and XDA is huge and sometimes very difficult to navigate. A little guidance can go a long way in terms of respect and gratitude, especially from Senior Members.

guys, why so sensitive... let's be honest, it was an easy find. I'm a newbie too, and the first thing I found when I got my Tab 2, was Touchsquid. The Search feature is REALLY easy to access. And you can even search per-forum right away... now, nevermind the argument, click on that thread they gave you, it has lots of information about Touchsquid. Which is, by the way, a really cool app. A little unpolished in terms of interface and layout, but has a LOT of functions, compatibility, etc.

it's listing as $49 bucks here...seriously...$49 for a andriod app to use a ir sensor on our device.....hey, I'm not knocking them selling it for that, they did the work obviously...but why aren;t more developers doing it, if they can get that for it? People work their butts off making apps for like $1-$3/buy

You guys realize that you just look like security guards, right? No real power, but love to think you do by being sarcastic flamers. You're annoying for no other reason than to think you're somebody you're clearly not. You took time to be annoyed instead of continuing to scroll. Maybe if you left your parents' basement for an hour, you would realize how ridiculous you look to people with lives.
That being said I would love to see a port and will offer to add to the bounty. Thanks OP for getting this started.

Whether or not they are being like security guards, they are right about this going in general. As there is currently no actual development taking place, this is just a thread clogging the dev section. Until there is at least a preview build, this should be moved. Honest mistake by the op. Mod, please move or close the thread.

does anyone else see that the phone looks like it is a GS3 in a new shell (which i like very much)

I'd love to see a Windows 8 ROM on our phones. I played with a widows phone for a bit before I got rid of it and I really liked it

I mentioned this in one of the other threads, but the Ativ S was seen on the Verizon roadmap. I believe that would simplify some of the process in porting it.

Now, according to somebody in the HD2 forum, it would be difficult because, "the problem is going to be to hack the security and flash HSPL then magldr over that new bootloader." I've no clue what that means. :shrug:

a canghe gamer: a simple bracelet

Hi guys.
I'll be very quick and simple (thx mother):
Most of the female keep the mobile in the handbag.among a lot of stuff.
Most of guys keep the mobile somewhere and the ringtone bothers people.
Here my idea: a bluetooth plain bracelet that vibrare when u got a call or a notification.
It's so simple that i think it is already on the mkt.
If not, i would say it could sell a lot.
I'm not in the mkt but i can offer money and share profits from who wanna get in this adventure.
ciao!

Looks like a great idea however I think a lot of women won't wear it because it won't match with their shoes or whatever.
Something what will be better is creating a small device what can be attached on their bra (with a clip or smth like that) so people won't see it.

Ok, as a female I have just one comment: nope! not a chance, not in a million years! Missing a notification is not a big enough deal to clip uncomfortable ugly things to our under clothes that would create all kinds of unsightly and questionable bulges! The first idea has more of a chance, but only if it looked like jewelry. And I still wouldn't buy it...
I have a pebble. It is very useful because my phone (or nexus 7) does end up in my purse on mute pretty much all the time. What I need is a pebble that is not so ugly! Much much much thinner for starters. Then we can talk about making it smaller. Then we can talk about accessorizing so it matches shoes/purse/coat, etc. But at least for me, I need more than just notification that something just happened. I want to know what happened to decide whether it's worth fishing for my phone or tablet in the depths of my purse... usually the answer is: no. And it's nice to know that. Which is why I put up with the pebble being so big and ugly. I could not bring myself to consider any of the bigger options. Most women will not consider pebble either because it is still too big. You want our money, you need to figure out how to make it very thin first, then you need to make it in a variety of shapes and sizes. But all must have a super thin profile to start.

Seems a good idea.

this idea ...
Do you want a bit too perfect..

Different vibrations for different apps

It has been done and it is called a MEMI and you can order one at hellomemi .com . As I have not done "10 posts" I cannot contribute a link and ATM it is iPhone only but the concept is there and working. It looks a bit big and bangley (sp) for me but for a lot of ladies this may be the ticket!

This has got me thinking, has anyone tried tethering their phone to their computer, as one would with a car, and pipe the audio through something like pulse audio so that every speaker in the house announces the call.
I'll have to try that later.

Getting this thread back on track.. lol
I also think this would be a great idea and I am seriously surprised it does not currently exist. What I want is simple, a band that doesn't look like a cheap piece of crap, that mirrors my phones vibrations. Maybe a multi colored LED that also mirrors my phones. Memi doesn't exists yet and is iphone only. Ritot appears to be a scam. Vybe also isn't shipping yet, Fitbit, Sony, Nike etc are just concerned with heart rate and sleep patterns which I could care less about. I want my wrist to vibrate the exact same way my phone does. Weird. The jawbone up24 looks neat but again doesnt appear to do it. Is there a way for an app to send vibrations to a bluetooth device? or do you need a specific API for the device itself?
