Hack remote starts a scooter with the shake of a phone
Who wants to be bothered with keys when you can remote start vehicles with a shake of your favorite Android powered smartphone? Brad Nelson’s latest batch of homebrew makes that a reality.
In his latest invention, he has concocted a way to control various actions on his scooter by using his DROID 4. Using a Python script and some Bluetooth modules he is able to assign different gestures to the phone so that shaking it in specified directions will start the scooter, stop the scooter, and even unlock the seat lock where he stores his helmet.
Check out the video below to see Brad’s “Bluition” a.k.a. Bluetooth Scooter Ignition in action.
