Would you like to control your PF models, via Bluetooth?

Would you like to control your LEGO Technic PF models, from your Tablet or Smartphone devices via Bluetooth interface?

There is a team of individuals working on a concept to do so and they asked me if I could raise some visibility on their project. Why not?
They are not the first to think about it, but may be they become the first to produce it!?...

It is the "Core" project and idea is to produce a device that communicates via BT with your Tablet, Smartphone or NetBook and allows to control up to:

  • 3 PF devices with proportional control (motors, lights,...)
  • 5 PF devices with non-proportional control (motors, lights,...)

Preliminary specs, say the module should provide 1A current and also includes a Gyrosensor ±2G for tilt, shock and fall detection.
On the remote side you will have a 360º fully proportional controller and several customizable buttons for different settings.

You can see their presentation from the media material below.



For now they are doing some research and marketing, for which they would like to have a few answers from you in order to make it fit with most consumer needs.
Please spend a few minutes answering this survey, as the "Core" Team is willing to gather as many answers/info as possible!
