I then came across Phidgets motor controllers and I was immediately interested in it, mainly because it has an Flash/Flex Actionscript library that allows your Flash or Flex application to communicate with that controller. So I ordered one and started working on an application. What I came up with is a wooden maze that is placed on 4 servo motors and I can now control the maze by using a socket connection on mu Android phone running Android 2.1 (Eclair). I needed a special construction to get the rotational movement converted into a vertical movement to lift and tilt the maze and it kind of worked. I would have preferred to use linear motors instead, but they were just way too expensive for me. This did the trick as well. It was just a little harder to get the setup right. Just watch the video and keep in mind that this is merely a prototype.
