RjDuino

RjDuino allows you to control an Arduino with your iPhone running RjDj. I definitely want to try out this project, especially the pitch controlled LEDs.

Using a custom RjDj patch to control an Arduino. Made possible via the "netsend" and "netreceive" objects in PD, which are also usable in RjDj. The interface with the Arduino is made through the Firmata firmware in combination with the PDuino library.

Getting Started with Arduino in the iPhone app store

Getting Started with Arduino

A while back, we posted some details about how you could read Massimo Banzi's Getting Started with Arduino on an iPhone using the Stanza reader. It's gotten even easier (and slightly cheaper): currently priced at $4.99, the standalone iPhone app version of Getting Started with Arduino is available for purchase via iTunes or directly on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Cree emitter LED flash/video light for iPhone 3GS

This quick and dirty improvised iPhone flash/video light from Andreas Ødegård consists of a 3V battery and a high intensity Cree emitter. Sure, it's just an LED flashlight with a doc connector mount, but then again it was built in under 10 minutes with electrical tape, spare parts, and a hot glue gun. The result seems to knock the socks off your run-of-the-mill super bright LED mini-array.

A similar hack that pulls power from the iPhone dock connector can be found in the book iPhone Hacks.

iPhone + Wiimote … together at last

Ubiq_01 points out this vid demonstrating the use of a wiimote over iPhone's bluetooth connections -

The video first shows the iPhone's AirPlane mode activated before starting an OpenGL-ES Demo. In the demo, the orientation of the virtual WiiMote is controlled by a physical WiiMote over a Bluetooth connection. For this demo, the portable Bluetooth Stack from the BTstack project was used.

The OpenGL-ES code was based on the excellent tutorial by Simon Maurice. Thanks, this is my first OpenGL program.

Prototype iPhone mini jack magstripe reader

The prototype iPhone payment system Square, currently in testing at a trendy clothing store in NYC, has been generating a lot of buzz for the past couple of days. What caught my attention was its use of the mini jack as a communication port. Often overlooked as a means of transferring data, the microphone/audio port on the iPhone is accessible from the standard iPhone SDK. If you're curious about using the mini jack port, the hardware chapter of the book iPhone Hacks has a number of hacks that utilize the the mini jack for uni- and bi-directional communication.

In addition to magstripe readers, IR remotes, modems, and keyboards, the mini jack is suitable for building almost any low-speed peripheral requiring bidirectional communication using inexpensive components. Since the release of the v3.0 SDK the iPhone development community has been excited about the possibilities of the iPhone doc connector. However, using the mini jack over the doc connector not only shaves off some manufacturing costs, but by using a standardized connector the peripheral can be used by other devices like, for instance, the OLPC XO.

Crabfu paints on his iPhone

We've missed our buddy I-Wei Huang, aka Crabfu, who's been busy getting the hang of raising ShrimpFu (aka his adorable baby son). While he hasn't been building any bots (at least that he's showing us), he's been keeping busy between diaper changes with painting on his iPhone. I love that you can see the painting process in these videos. I learned something about layering, shading, and detailing watching these. He's got plenty more on his blog.

Unofficial Find My iPhone API

@brady over at radar.oreilly.com has an excellent summary of what some folks are already doing to integrate Apple's new Find My iPhone service into their location aware applications. He speculates formalization of these techniques into a service and offers meaningful use cases, citing established applications, that would benefit from granular location data. People are building real world apps against this service and a community is forming around its use.

Quick 'n dirty lasercut iPhone stand

MAKE contributor Tod Kurt created this nice little iPhone/iPod stand from four pieces laser-cut acrylic scraps.

It is made of four slices of 1/4″ acrylic (actual width 0.22″). The top two slices have an oval opening just snug enough to fit the iPod connector and keep it in place with friction. The third slice has a channel for the cable to escape out the back, and the bottom slice keeps the cable from falling out and provides some pushback when the iPhone is inserted. It's held together by four 1″ 2-56 machine screws with nuts. I was a little concerned with the nuts scratching the table, so I've since added little hot glue feet to the bottom of each nut.

Classic Mac iPhone felt

iDoor, the iPhone controlled hydraulic dorm room door

Maker Chris Varenhorst's iDoor is a hydraulic door controlled by an iPhone or when security isn't a concern, a secret knock. Cobbled together from scrounged parts including a PIII running Ubuntu and a Phidget 8/8/8 control board, the door is opened with a hydraulic actuator that taps into the sink in the room.

Life at MIT can be tough. With all the problem sets, and projects taking up time, when I come back to my dorm room to crash, I don't want to waste time opening doors myself! That's why my room is outfitted with an iPhone controlled hydraulic door opener and unlocker. Just tap the "iDoor" app on my phone's home screen, and the door opens for me. Its 2009 after all, about time we stopped carrying around shaped bits of metal to open up locked doors.

Music video shot on iPhone 3GS

This fantastic music video from Reyna Perez entitled "Love Love Love" was shot entirely on an iPhone 3GS. Though not the first music video shot using a cameraphone, this video features quality production courtesy of the fine folks at m ss ng p eces and an enchanting song by Ms. Perez.

How to make a cheap tripod mount for the iPhone 3GS

Cheap iPod Mount

C.K. Sample III (author of PSP Hacks) just posted his technique for making an iPod tripod mount; he used the form-fitting packing material that came in the box as the basis of the holder. You could probably extend his technique to a lot of other gadgets, too:

I was thinking about this tonight, and remembered the nice little white holster of plastic that came in the box of my iPhone 3GS and cradled it so nicely. So, I took that, took a 3/16 drill bit and drilled a hole where the camera is and another where the recycle symbol was on the back of the plastic holster. I shaped each hole slightly wider using the drill. The recycle symbol hole was just the right size to be a bit tight for the mounting screw, so that the screw itself could tap its own path tightly in the plastic hold...

Granular synthesis on iPhone

CDM points out this vid from m~fischer exploring sounds created from varying pieces of a sample -

the strange agency made this great little granular synthesis iphone application called curtis. it's named for composer, author, granular synth advocate curtis roads. this is just a quick little thing i recorded using a captured bit of sound from a thumb piano. pretty fun little application to play with.

I've always found the concept of granular synthesis compelling in theory but a bit unwieldy in practice. Being able to manipulate the sample parameters via touch would likely improve results - just wish Curtis had a way to transfer samples over to desktop audio software.
