Control a Lego aerial tramway with an Android phone app
Future Ideas
The gondola stations (Figure 11) and controls were fairly simple to build. In your own projects, you could:
- Run the tramway on an incline, like a ski lift.
- Use an ultrasonic sensor to stop the gondola near either gondola station.
- Add lights or sound and control them with the Android app.
