Remember the truck I got for Christmas ? Remember that I wanted to automate it ? Well, the job is done, the movie made and the pictures taken. The brain of the truck is a NXT which controls the driving and steering motor directly, but also controls the 3 PowerFunction engines I used for the Crane. Instead of using the standard remote control of the PF engines, the NXT uses a HiTechnic IRLink to control speed and direction of the engines. The entire truck is controlled from my mobile phone via Bluetooth. The software for this was written by Alexander Demin. We made some changes to the portion that runs on the NXT to allow the commands from the phone to be interpreted correctly.
That is awesome. I'll have to get one like that for my office. Mind if I link to your post? We sell used bucket trucks where I work so, this would be great!
Very nice! The link to the photos on Bricklink doesn't work

I'm impressed, I must say. Very rarely do I come across a blog that's both informative and entertaining.
