- August 23, 2009: New website and domain!
marmota, an acronym for Making Arduino and Mobile devices Talk that forms the name of a funny animal (which is our mascot) in Brazilian Portuguese (they are also called Marmot in USA so the acronym stills works) aims to be a place to share codes, smaller projects and experiences involving the arduino platform communicating to mobile devices. It's important to mention that everything involved on this project has to be open source.
You can download all the CarControlledByPhone tarball application here: CarControlledByPhone.tar.gz
Or, if you're developer and want to contribute, you can checkout the code from our svn repository:
Learn how to submit patches or have write permissions in the repository by looking at Submit_Patches.HOWTO file in docs/ folder.
Clear and detailed documentation on how to install the applications (on the phone and arduino side) as well as electronics board schematics and configuration are under development. You can find small docs in the docs/ folder within the package that is downloadable above.

Special thanks to Bea Lam (blammit _AT_ gmail _DOT_ com) who did LightBlue, a cool and portable Bluetooth API so we could test code on the linux notebook and just upload it to the smartphone!
Thanks to Avaty! Tecnologia for giving us the office to perform final tests on the car controlled by phone application on Saturday!
Thanks to Diego Costa ( he also won an @marmota.mobi e-mail: diego _at_ marmota _dot_ mobi ) for developing the official project logo and site. thanks man!
Thanks to Felipe Ribeiro for performing small editions on the low quality videos, helping on translation and hosting the site.
