Programming apps for iPhone and Android os

[jrkilburn]

Does anyone know if someone is making a programming app for Tekin or Castle products to be used with iPhone or Android? Seems logical to be able to program with these "mini-computers" we all use for cell phones these days.

Just wondering....

It sure would be nice!! I heard rumors Castle was working on something awhile back.

Tekin posted something on facebook about it almost a year ago, but still haven't see it available..

Either one would be sweet as I run both..

It would be sweet. I`d love to see ESC`s have bluetooth so no more castle link. It`s a pain in my Wraith to hook up,because it takes so much to even get to the darn thing. Imagine bluetooth you just turn it on and make changes

Who would have thought back in 1985 when I got started in R/C that I would one day want to program a speed control with my iphone let alone drool over the idea of bluetooth enabled ESC's, lol.

problem is a cell phone can't host a device via their usb jack SO they can't program say a tekin or castle esc.

Now, bluetooth would allow this. By having a bluetooth programmer it be possible to program esc's via phone.

I doubt we'll see a bluetooth enabled esc. Because i think it would require some serious shielding from the esc's main functions AND it make them bigger. Best choice would be to just a a external blue tooth programmer

losikid, look on speedpassion's website at their new line, they're claiming wifi and bluetooth connectivity. through external module. still, its not far off.
