Disco Droid: ADK Dev Kit Awesomeness

 

Hey guys, just wanted to show you a cool hack with the new ADK Dev kit from Google.

 

This hack is a great example of the power that the ADK has to offer via real time control, I’m assuming with the use of Bluetooth wireless capability, of a sweet little android powered device. YouTube user chrisjrelliot hacked apart an Android figure and outfitted it with some LED eyes and four servos to control body movement. Chris can control the movement of this little dude via a few sweeps of some controls on his android powered tablet, which IMO is an awesome feature that I haven’t seen in the demos that people have been putting out. If you want to get your hands dirty with some sweet ADK hacks order one up from Google if you’ve got the cash [link]. Theres plenty of tutorials and all the software downloads you need to get started at the Android dev site so check that out as well.

Check the video after the break of Chris’ hack. Bravo sir, Bravo.
