What is a "GlueMotor"?

GlueMotor is a simple technique to control multiple servo motors via a headphone jack.

What's the difference between this technique and the others?

Not required any electronic components (just wires!)
Easy to build (just wires!)
Inexpensive (just wires!)

Make: magazine has an article about GlueMotor! Please check the web version at Make: Vol.34, page 84-87.

Currently, there are two types of "GlueMotor":

"Stand Alone GlueMotor"
A hobby servo motor which has built-in battery and stereo cable.
"GlueMotor Cable"
A set of stereo cable, battery folder and servo cables and you can connect ANY standard hobby servo motors.
Here is a demo video of GlueMotor!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsD5qrbRkVc

What things I can do with "GlueMotor"?

GlueMotor is a general purpose hobby servo motor. You can control absolute angle of the servo (normally -45 ~ +45 degrees) from your Smart Phone or Tablet devices.

If your device supports stereo output (most likely!), you can control up to TWO GlueMotors at a same time!

I want one! Where can I get "GlueMotor"?

At this moment, only way you can get it is "making your own" :-)

Please refer to "How to make" page if you are interested in making one by yourself.
