Transworld

[JonnyMac]

We're headed to Transworld this week and hope to see you there.

We have a few new goodies for you HC-8+ hackers:

• Real-time clock (with battery holder in case power is lost time is not)
• 4-channel ADC (5V inputs using standard WRB cables)
• Bluetooth serial module

Pop by and I'll show you how to control props from you Android phone or tablet.

Here's a picture of the HC-8+ being controlled by a $50 (yes, fifty dollar) no-name Android tablet with Bluetooth. I've also attached a screen cap of the program running on a Droid Turbo smart phone; it's the same app. That program was written by JonnyMac using MIT App Inventor 2 -- and that costs nothing (well, except your time).

Okay... who's in for wireless remote control of props?

Will the HC-8+ accessories be availble to purchase at the show?  I have a plan for the RTC.

We have a few, yes -- come on by.
