Serious Modders Only

Just a thought I had, once I get some extra money together gonna give it a go.
RN-42 Bluetooth

Not sure what to use for monitoring/returning the data to the android device though, but it'd be pretty sweet to control everything with your touch screen phone wirelessly. Would open up a lot of statistical data and tons of options for user interfaces. I've been a programmer for 15 years (stopped with hardware and went software) so just getting back into the electronics side of things and loving it.

What do you want to control wirelessly? Voltage? Power? Temperature? And what for? A few days of using your cigarette (power supply), and you know everything about it.
Your idea is a good toy anyway
I just imagine - a 'serious modder' vaping under his smartphone control

 

[Striker911]

Far out. I wonder what else a smart phone can do. Can you get it to wipe for ya? Sorry just had to ask. No offense.

 

[milo hobo]

Yes! I have been wanting to see someone do this! I would love to see a mod that you can program through your phone instead of some silly menu like the provari or nivel chip. Something much more user friendly.

 

[Razloz]

Yea that was pretty much my thoughts full control via a touch screen interface on your phone. Slider bar for the watts adjustment, real-time display of watts/amps/volts under load, ohms reading and analysis of change over time, etc, etc. Would be a fun toy ^^;

Collecting statistics and general logging would be fun. And it should be doable.

What I _really_ want though is much simpler. I want a throttle instead of the switch on the APV.
The harder pressed, the more watts.

I think most people would learn to love that.

Yea it can definitely be done. Hmm a throttle now that could be fun to play with

Raidy has done the "throttle" concept with a pressure sensitive resistor. It's somewhere in the abyss of the "all my mods part 1" thread.

 

[Ulvamal]

As for the original question, how to communicate back to the phone. Well, as all good engineers I am lazy (and understand the hardships of high frequency prototype boards far to well... ). I would stick something like this (Arduino - ArduinoBoardBluetooth) inside the ... um, inevitably large boxmod.

 

[Ulvamal]

As for the throttle, I might just get around to modifying a kick to do the trick. Should be fairly simple, really.

 

[Razloz]

That's really the main issue with any APV, fitting everything you want into as small a package as possible. Something like this is a likely solution. For me it's not so much a question as to "how" but more a selection of what chips to use while keeping it within budget and fitting into the right package to stay portable and functional.

Actually his new and anxiously awaited barometrically controlled atty has the throttle concept going too. The harder you draw, the more you get, much closer to analogue smoking. But alas, no bluetooth in those plans.

 

[Rader2146]

Sheesh.....time to read some more of that thread. I've only made it to around post 1200 so far.

 

[asdaq]

It is probably only in the last 50 posts or so, at least the fuller description, but, you won't get your points for skipping ahead

Wow just read a bit of that...truly an incredible idea...I can't wait to buy one

 

[Rvly]

What about the arduino? I've played with the arduino in the past and it has wireless capabilities, voltage meter, amp, among other things. hmm come to think of it It wouldn't be hard at all to replace the trim pot on a booster or buck down board with the arduino and completely change the resistance on the fly.

 

[Razloz]

Yea that's how I was planning on controlling the bluetooth chip, haven't seen any arduino's with BT built in tho gotta do some research now.

 

[bzmotoninja83]

As far as a throttle, what about a 2step switch like the one found in a camera for the pre flash/focus then the snapshot? One click activates one battery and the other activates a second battery. Sort of vv in the respect that you would have 3.7 and 5v in one/two clicks? Anyways, how goes the progress?

I really dont do any modding like this but i read ALOT(alot of things i have no clue why.) anyway what about somethgn like this
