Not sure how many of you have seen this, but we added Apple Watch support to the ARC iOS app! For the longest time, no one knew what an Apple Watch was good for
outside of interrupting your productive with Facebook and twitter notifications about who had lunch. Needless to say, it's made the watch quite useful and fun - but it's still way too expensive!

Morbeious's Dev Servo Bot
Gang, I'm working on creating a simple bot to play with that's designed around the Dev Kit Components with either 3d...
Should actually be easy enough to write an app that talks to the ARC web server or telnet server without the need to have something running on a phone (my plan would be for driving a bot with an embedded computer)
Brilliant stuff, as usual.

hehe not for now.just had some repair on my destop.
1) Load ARC Mobile on your iOS device.
2) Load the robot project and connect to the robot.
3) Load ARC on the Apple Watch.
4) Use directional buttons on watch to make robot move. For example, the Right Arrow Button moves the robot RIGHT. The Left arrow button moves the robot Left. and so on..
Did you just get the watch? If so, it's not an actual stand-alone device. The apple watch is an extension to your iOS device. It's actually useless without being connected to a phone or tablet.
In this case, the apple watch is a movement controller for the ARC mobile app. Think of it as a remote control for the ARC mobile app.
The next version of the apple watch app will let you customize the buttons - much like how the current UI works.
Also I use Apple Pay from the Watch all the time
Customised buttons will be a great addition
Thanks
To be honest, that watch in 2010 was a little cooler than the apple watch, mainly because it was easily "hackable" and had the camera.
I don't mind my Apple Watch - but it's the only apple product that i haven't fallen in love with... In fact, it's the complete opposite - i truly can care less if i had an apple watch or not. It just doesn't "do it for me" - which is disappointing because with all the wearable tech out there, i was hoping Apple would do it right.
I have to say, the Microsoft Fit Band thingy is pretty remarkable. I do wish it wasn't a plastic cheap-o case and rubber band, but for $249 CAD it isn't a bad price. Specifically when you compare it against my $1,000 Apple Watch! The microsoft band has apps as well, plus the UI is fun to play with. Microsoft doesn't always pay attention to style, i guess that's a reflection of bill gates - wouldn't say he was ever the most stylish individual
