Mobile Phone as a control device
Hi,
is it possible to use a mobile phone as a contol device? For instance be able to use the number keys to type a number? I've looked at serial and have managed to get it to recognise my phone as a serial port but have no idea where to go from there. Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks
Andy
there is also the aka.iphone external (I have no idea whether it's still on development or not)
except iPhone, of course?

Check tyhis software, called Salling Clicker, and or
try Remote Buddy software, depending on the phone.
Sony Erickson seems to be the most versatile for this
application.With Saling Clickr I contrl all my Max
applications, and many more pro music appl-s using my
cell as a remote.

This one certainly sounds interesting - I'm not lucky enough to have an iphone. I would also like to be able to use as many differnt types of phone as I can if possible - for ope participation.

There's also Romeo, even though the number of phone is limited. I
used that in the past with my t68i so I could get the keys back in Max.

As long as you use a serial connection (via bluetooth or cable) you can
detect RING and pick up the phone if somebody is calling you using
standard AT commands (google for that!). However, almost all mobile
phones don't send you the decoded DTMF dial tones that would tell you
the number the person at the other end pressed. In order to get them
you'd have to run an audio line from the phone into your soundcard. If
your mobile phone doesn't have an audio plug, get a real GSM modem, they
usually have plugs. Then you have to find a way how to decode the DTMF
tones and send them back to Max.
I have used this setup for several installations and it worked with
every phone people were using so far. The GSM modems were different
Wavecom Fasttrack modems, but others should works as well.

You could also try the mbluetooth library for Moblie Processing which is also working in Processing.
Then use Maxlink in Processing to send the data to Max. http://www.processing.org/
I'm using this setup with one computer and several phones.
