www.geekmyride.org. Quick demo of accessing a web server linked to an Arduino in my RX-8 from an iPod Touch so it can be started, stopped, locked/unlocked, current location shown on Google Maps, and e

  1. Yeahh you rrally shouldn't turn your car on and off cause its a rotary engine sooo yeah have fun fludding your engine haha
  2. Actually the rx8 dumps extra fuel into the rotor housing in order to warm it up faster if its cold and most cars after you start them cold they idle higher anyways, but your right the rpms should be constently changing right after you start any car, but as you can see the app or server lags.
  3. it's not an app,it's an web application so the pictures and such are on a server and the ipod is used to browse to that server,so you can even do this on a computer of a friend
  4. Who else is getting sick of the ignorant idiots crying fake on every video?
  5. "key fob"
  6. fake! key bob is in your pocket and your pushing buttons. and if it were a real time display the numbers on the rpm would be constenly changing and car dont idle over 1,000 rpm they stay within the 600 to 700 rpm rang
  7. sick man.  very cool :D
  8. 3G cost money :( quite expensive in some places

  14. what you just said makes no sense
  15. And for the people that think it will flood the engine. It Will not flood the engine because its fuel injected...
  16. yo what app is that?
  17. Geek
  18. How do I install it in my car. Do you have the tutorial on how to design the whole board and everything.
  19. cool 
  20. why? it's just a matter of hooking some hardware to the car with an internet connection which can receive and transmit commands that gets processed by a remote computer. It's 2012 dude. If you can controll a house over the net, is it so hard to believe that you can turn the engine on, on a stupid car?
