[PROJECT] ShakerRacer : Control a slightly modded RC car in a natural way by tilting your phone !

symbianresources has posted a nice project about a new upcoming application called ShakerRacer that enables to control a car with the acceleration sensor !



A Python application connects via Bluetooth to a modded RC car (standard €90 RC car bought from a toy shop. Modded to accept Bluetooth instead of the proprietary wireless module that it was shipped with. A small microcontroller and a Bluetooth module replace the original wireless components. On the side of the mobile phone, a Python script translates the input of the acceleration sensor to commands that the microcontroller can understand in order to manage the steering servo as well as the main motor.)
