technology we love :: driving a car with an iphone – waterloo labs

We don’t recommend this one at home or anywhere near your local school, old folks home, favorite watering hole or video arcades.


In this video the Waterloo Labs team give an overview of how they turned an Oldsmobile Delta ’88 into a remote control car in just 4 weeks. “We built our control systems using a few motors, potentiometers, a Compact RIO embedded controller, and LabVIEW. We then set up wi-fi communication so we can drive the car from an iPhone as well as from a modified Power Wheels truck.”
