The sketch takes in the Bluetooth input and then translates it into a selection to control the
servo. If you need to, review the information in Chapter 7 , Controlling Servos with Ardu-
ino . You'll be controlling your servos using the servo controller, setting the servo and the
angle desired by your RC plane. For the speed, you'll also use the servo controller; plug
the black ground connection into the GND on the servo controller and the red control sig-
nal into the control signal connector spot on the servo controller. Just remember that 0 to
180 is the speed control value.
You'll now need an application on your tablet or phone to control the RFduino over the
Bluetooth link. If you are adventurous enough to develop your own application, visit ht-
tp://www.rfduino.com/download-rfduino-library/ for example programs. Most of these ex-
ample programs are already created and on the iPhone app page. To test your control, you
can download these apps and run them. The RFduino servo control app should allow you
to control your servos and speed so that you can control your plane remotely.
The RFduino team has not yet created an Android app, but if you have an Android device,
there are already several Android BT Arduino control applications on the Google Play
store that can be of use. For example, the Arduino BT Joystick PRO app can be used to
