jejenkins Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 ANyone tried it? Link http://www.iphonehacks.com/2009/02/control...our-iphone.html Control Fish Tank using your iPhone The iPhone has already been used to control R/C car, iRobot's Packbot, Unmaned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), iPhone Lego NXT Robo, turned into a walking robot and dog treat dispenser. Do you have a fish tank? Want to control it from anywhere in the world from your iPhone then you should checkout the video of this cool hack by Pete from WaveJam Technologies. The ioBridge module which was used to create a system for dispensing dog treats seems to be getting quite popular to control things from the iPhone. Pete from WaveJam Technologies has used the ioBridge module to control his fish tank lights, video camera and pirate chest using his iPhone. He has built a neat UI to watch the video feed of his fish tank using a webcam on the iPhone's Safari browser and also some buttons below the video feed to interact and control the tank.

Reggie Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 There is another option -- AquaController 3 with the free iPhone beta app. You can see stats anytime, anywhere and turn-on / off any device if you want to.

Vancouver Reefer Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Oh you know this is know an add on to my ever expanding list of things for this tank!!1 You know you would be the envy of any party if you could show people your own tank live and control it!!!!! Wifi is everywhere now and this would be one serious piece of mind if you could see you tank on your phone when your away!!! By the time i get my tank up and running, all my projects are going to have cost more than my damn tank!!! VR! Link to comment
