I found a way to remote control my R2D2 with an iPhone. I’ve got minimal control working now. Once I perfect it, I will share more details, but for now this will whet your appetite. In the videos I demonstrate controlling a servo and the dome motor using an iPhone using the accelerometer (tilting the iPhone controls it) and using a slider control on the touch screen. Other touch screen controls are possible too such as rotary controls, buttons, XY controls, and multitouch as well as gestures. I should be able to interface with my J.E.D.I display as well and type in text messages in the iPhone that will scroll across the front or rear logic displays.
(Cue evil mad scientist laughter ) Muh ha ha ha ha!!

FYI, that would be “whet your appetite”: to excite or stimulate. To wet one’s appetite sounds vaguely, I don’t know, obscene. . . .
