Hi everyone,

I've been searching for an easy way to send data from iOS devices to IOIO.  
In my search I came across the Open Sound Control 
(OSC<http://opensoundcontrol.org/book/export/html/1>) 
protocol; which pointed me to an app called TouchOSC <http://hexler.net/>.  
Although TouchOSC is mainly used by DJ's who want to control their rigs 
using an iOS or Android device, it can also be used for other purposes.  
That said, I decided to give it a try.  It was amazing.  It took me just a 
couple of hours to have everything up and running since you don't have to 
write any code to use TouchOSC.

I basically used a RN-XV WiFly <https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11047>module 
to allow TouchOSC to send OSC packet to the Android app; which 
parses them and passes the PWM values to the IOIO.  Here is the preliminary 
result:

The next step will be to implement the remote control using the 
accelerometer in the apple device; which is also supported by TouchOSC.

I know this approach may not be suitable to everyone since you still need 
an Android device between the IOIO and the iOS device.  However, it fit 
perfectly my need since I didn't have another spare Android device and my 
son wanted to use his RC car again manually.  I hope this helps others.

Cheers!
