Looks awesome (probably because it is awesome!)

You think your mind is blown? You've sent a hurricane through the community!

Wow! And all I really wanted for Android control was that last demo (video feed with motion panel).

Very very impressive. Can't wait.

An App for an App The best

An android EZ Robot APP is just what I wanted for Christmas

OMG OMG OMG.....DJ did you build a time machine, and grab your own programing 10 years in the future and bring it back for our enjoyment?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!

and I was just about to buy a new windows 8 8inch tablet to put inside my little robots.... I guess that old nexus phone lying around will finally serve a purpose.

..I can actually use the phone as an on board pc

Seriously this is a game changer . There are so many high end android devices like galaxy 3 , galaxy 4 , note 2, note 3, HTC one, nexus 4 and nexus 5 and many others that use the latest software and socs. Even more tablets that are 100-150 are practically giant phones. As these become older 6 months to a year from now their price drops to a fraction of their original worth. That opens the door for all kinds of educational opportunities as well. Most students have a android phone or tablet in their pocket all the time. This further reduces the cost of learning about robotics. I LOVE IT for two separate reasons

-more simple robots like squeegee or mech warrior would not need me to carry my laptop to show them off

• for applications where some one wants a self contained platform like a sumo robot or soccer bot for example now have an option that just got way cheaper.

-lastly I have friends.... Over 700 in a club a buddy started for making ironman suites for cosplay. Ez robot leaves room for led lighting controls , sound effects, motorization of the suite like a mask opening , lasers popping up and more. Now they can be controlled by the users cell phone in their pocket

Awesome sauce I tell you , awesome sauce- Josh

Will it work for the V3s Bluetooth connection too or is it limited for the V4 and wifi only?

Oh rrly? Well that's ok

Do you know that for certain @aameralis?

I heard that somewhere too. I think you select which board in the connection control or something.

DJ sures confirmed it in a diff thread.

First release will be near end of December, beginning of January.... But it only works with EZ-B v4 because the EZ-B v3 is a different communication protocol.

Ah yes, I've just seen the post (I must have missed it)

It means I will almost certainly be buying another v4 and selling my second v3 board... Or maybe I'll just keep it amd build a 3rd robot

will the app cost anything?

I would guess it will be a free app however it is purely a guess. If they did have to charge for it then I would like to assume it wouldn't be much. I'm sure EZ-Robot staff will confirm if it will cost anything though when they have time (and remember, it is a busy time for them right now).

I don't care if it's .99 cents or 5 bucks for the app it is worth it.

I suspect it will be fee free. Since the app is only used with the EZ-B(4)
