I'm wondering if it's possible to use an iPad as an XY pad controller for two DC motors. Can I use MIDI, Touch OSC? I don't want to be attached to wifi, I'd rather have a hardwired version (doesn't need to be wireless). I know there are XY MIDI apps and Touch OSC has an XY pad, it's just a matter of getting those numbers/data to an arduino or other microcontroller. Any ideas on this?
I would do it with Touch OSC.
Why?
Anyway can you not use the "bridge" option of Touch OSC to get it onto wires?
where I'll be using there will not be any internet wifi
When ever I have had that situation for exhibitions and the like, I have used an old router and created an ad-hock network and connected both iPad and laptop to that. No need for internet connection.
Use an ESP processor in ad-hoc mode where it creates its own network and SSID would avoid needing a router.
Otherwise, I see that there's an Arduino IDE for iPad, so I don't see why a hardwired connection would be a problem. Send serial messages to the arduino over the USB connection.
Yes, thanks. I do have a bunch of 8266 boards and I did notice this online. It's all a bit over my head, but I guess that's how you learn this stuff. If you know of any links that could help lemme know.
