\nSmartphone: Android to talk to the IOIO board<\/em>, any other smartphone to control via the web<\/em> -(API)
\nAppshed Account\u00a0www.appshed.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
For the RC car<\/strong> During this series of workshops you will create 2 apps. 1 app talks and controls the \u201ccar directly. The second app allows others to control the car via instructions (events) trigger in the remote sent via the web to the master controller app near\u00a0the car.\u00a0 You can remote control from anywhere in the world. All you need is internet access.\u00a0 Having remote controlled a car based in South Africa from the UK we already know how awesome it feels.\u00a0 This project gives you a little insight into The Internet of Things (IoT), how things like satellites communicate with ground (earth) based control centres or any other remote controlled device.<\/p>\n Remember when designing your app you have a maximum of 5 tabs. The control of the remote vehicle is based on the movement of the phone itself or trigger by button presses within each tab of the app. What order do you think they should be in?<\/p>\n INFO<\/strong>: Explains what your app does and how to use it https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j03U0k-8HFU<\/p>\n Login into Once you have logged there are 2 options to create apps.\u00a0 <\/span>One is App builder and the other is IoT.\u00a0 <\/span>We will be using app builder<\/b> for the first part of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are new to appshed check out these resources for an overview of the platform\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/appshed.com\/help\/resources\/item\/appshed-basics<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0Create new project<\/b> and name it appropriately.\u00a0 <\/span>The details added here are what would be shown if the app was added to any of the \u201capp stores\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Go to the settings tab > Advanced<\/b> and scrolled down to the bottom of the page to custom JavaScript and paste the (\u00a0JavaScript drive engine) code inside the box.<\/p>\n JS Code\u00a0<\/a>available here.<\/a><\/p>\n Custom CSS click here<\/a><\/p>\n Go to modules<\/b> \u201cpane\u201d and type \u201crc car\u201d into the search box and press enter<\/span><\/p>\n This is allow you add the modules for each tab.\u00a0 <\/span>Click the USE button and confirm with the YES green button for each module tab.
