Now Controlled by my iPhone!

I just finished adding a new control method to my Robot Hand; my iPhone!

This was achieved by keeping it connected to the pc and running some software called "processing". That software then talks to my iPhone over wifi when I use an app called "TouchOSC". Unfortunately it will cost you about $6 on the app store. I'm pretty sure there is an equivalent app for android and it's probably a lot cheaper too!

I used the following tutorial as a starting point and used some code from another project I found on youtube.
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/152 (How to control an Arduino with your iPhone)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9etKD2y-Zk (Arduino iPhone colour mixing tutorial)

From these two sources mainly, I eventually figured it out!


Check it out the final product:
