GlueMotor

GlueMotor is a simple idea that allows you to control hobby servo motors from audio jack (headphone jack) with very simple straight connection. Here is a good article about GlueMotor in Make: magazine (actually, I wrote that) available for more detailed information.

Important notice: GlueMotor may not work with some servo motors that have higher control signal threshold level. Also some Android devices that have not enough audio output level may not work.

Supported platforms

Currently this project supports 3 different platforms:

  • Android
  • iOS
    • Objective-C
    • Swift (will be published later, maybe, probably, any demands??)
  • JavaScript
    • JavaScript stand alone code
    • MOONBlock™ hack.js code ("MOONBlock" is a trademark of Ubiquitous Entertainment Inc.)

How to build the sample projects

  • Android: open the Android/ folder with Android Studio
  • iOS: open the project file under the iOS/Objective-C/ folder with Xcode

Each project includes "GlueMotorCore" class that is the core module of GlueMotor. For your own project, just copy the "GlueMotorCore" class file(s) into your project.

Requirements

In terms of using the GlueMotor application, you need to create your own cable. Please refer to GlueMotor Web Site or Make: magazine article for more details.

There is a commercial product exist based on the GlueMotor idea, such as "PuchiRobo-S2" from Kyohritsu Electronic Industry Co., Ltd. in Japan. Just in case here is a link to the online store.
