Re: Flying a remote control helicopter with the N900

I'll get onto it when I have spare time. But the overview I've written with the links is enough for someone to easily reproduce my work.

Re: Flying a remote control helicopter with the N900

Channel B's fine - my code will generate either config file. (actually I'll just find/replace the one I have, rather than bother to make a new one)

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

Not well known, but:

http://x.facebook.com

Is the high-end mobile site. It's better than the N97 client, and the iPhone one. Currently the best facebook experience on a mobile device IMO.

Re: Remote control car controller?

"FM" is an encoding, not a frequency. The transmitter is ~90-110Mhz range with FM modulation.

What frequency and modulation do RC cars work on? I'd bet money it's different, as in most countries...

Which way would you want synergy to work and why? Sharing another kb/mouse with n900 makes little sense, as does vice versa?
