Live test: N82 moves RC car with motion sensor

Symbian developers found their heaven at the MobDev fest corner at the Symbian Smartphones Show. Within the team, few developers could pride themselves for securing a 2 metre-radius circle, used to play around with an RC car, but not just any car: the remote-controlled vehicle moved by tilting a Nokia N82.
The uses of the accelerometer (motion sensor) included in high-end NSeries phones has been pushed to the limit ever since Nokia released its API. One of the developers let me play with the N82, which moved the car by either tilting the phone to the front, back, right, or left. Combinations of directions sometimes rendered the car to a halt.
The modification was simple to the experts, and according to what I heard, the hack was achieved in a night's work. The experts replaced the RC circuit by a Bluetooth circuit, which received signals from the N82.
Pictures after the break, as well as the Bluetooth circuit used inside the car.
