@Michaelinvegas Great idea! I would love to do that, I just need to finalize the app and upload it to the App Store.
If there’s someone that are interested please contact me!

My app has been submitted for approval on iOS and can do phone control using the nunchuk app so you can have ramping and cruise control if u wanted it and you can use a Bluetooth module that costs only $5
His module is universal though, sends out a ppm signal.
looks cool, but I would put my I Phone in the pocket when riding in order not to drop it. also I´m not sure about the touchscreen trigger, as it gives me no feedback.
@bbq870 Yes, the risk of dropping your phone definitely increases if you use it while skateboarding.
If you think about it, you get a feedback in form of the wheels spinning 
well, you are right, but I meant more of a “mechanical”, sensoric feedback. like you release the trigger and it snaps back in the neutral position and whenever your finger goes for the trigger it feels where it is. (that kind of feedback I mean) but maybe its possible for this device to use the vibrating feature?
edit: maybe you show a video of the app, how it works, then its more clear.
ps: does your trigger snap back to neutral if I release the touch? and how accurate do I need to hit the white square (trigger) or can I just touch ANYWHERE on the screen and push forwards? (that would make it “eyes free”)
That is a really good idea!
Yes, the trigger snaps back to neutral when you release the touch, and as an answer to your second question. No, you can’t touch anywhere on the screen, you need to touch the white thumb area when starting sliding and then you can touch anywhere on the screen as long as you don’t release your finger.
A video is a great idea, will do that as soon as I get some spare time!
I’d be up for testing it, I live in Stockholm and I’m soon done with my first build. And if it’s good ill buy one.
It’s worth noting that the app is in beginner mode, and that’s why there is such a big neutral range.

I would like to test it too! It sounds like a interesting new control method 
I live in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Again…not a big advocate of using your phone … But if you are…I would suggest something like this for your phone

I actually got a sample from them…I have one on my phone…and you know what… I use it every day…it’s super handy … I didn’t think it would be… It just sticks on…so you can position it for the most secure grip…or dangle you phone by your pinky lol
But def would suggest getting something like this
what happens when you receive a phone call or a txt msg while riding and accidental answer, the app goes into the back ground… total loss of control?
Ouch! SYF and maybe shop for a new phone. 
@Blasto When the receiver detects a connection loss it automatically puts the ESC into neutral throttle

Love the idea @hugohammarstrom , but even when I saw this type of thing with prebuilt eboards I was skeptical… What happens if you drop your phone? Nevertheless I can always buy a life proof case and I’m currently looking for a better controller than my cheap Quanum. When do you think these might be available in the U.S.?
Checkout ESP2866, one chip cost around 3$, arduino compatible. Ready to go server/client firmware on http://www.nodemcu.com/. You can send information through UDP without any delay and apllication can have additional functions. It’s almost ready to go chip just need some additional code for tunning. You could controll same receiver with external device or phone at same time, even not your phone. And most important it is Wi-Fi so crowded place is not a problem.
How do you do this with your app? I can’t find an explanation of how to use nunchuck and HM10 at the same time anywhere.
