You people must have been wondering “what the heck was going on” and why haven’t I posted anything for the last 3 months or so… keep reading and you’ll find out more !

Electronic Anti-roll system for tractor (or how to connect IOIO to a Basic Atom

“Tractor”, what tractor… ? That’s what you must be wondering right now, as I don’t often blog about tractors… especially full scale agricultural ones…

Wow… I never though I would be working on “revolutionising the agriculture” as they’ve put it…

I’ve already written a post about how to connect the Wii Nunchuck to the Lego NXT using LeJOS, and there is also information on my blog about how to do the same thing with an Arduino (though I can’t find it right now, so no easy link…).

It’s only fair that I explore the same thing with an Android phone and the IOIO board.
