Title: iPhly iPad Radio
Post by: sunworksco on April 03, 2011, 06:38:07 pm: I am now considering building an iPhly iPad radio system.
http://www.iphly.org/
The iPad will be installed into a lightweight aluminum frame, carbon fiber receptacle box and all fastened with super magnets.
I can then use the 2.4 GHz Spektrum TX with full on-screen live telemetry. It can also additionally support a synthesized 75MHz TX for submarine use, one radio with two different TX.
regards,
Giovanni

the everyday hobbiest. It is neat, though, that one could potentially use the accelerometer in
the Iphone, or Ipad to just tip the iphone or Ipad and steer a plane or boat.

You can design it to look just like a Robbe F14 radio with twin-sticks.

Post by: sunworksco on April 05, 2011, 05:32:46 pm: I'm not using my radio for flight only marine use but you can prioritize the applications.
I'm using the iPad and already using an iPhone for calls so no issues with hijacking my application.
