What app do I use for Sphero r2d2?

How to connect r2d2 to app iPhone?

I have r2d2 running in my home Mac Mini but how can I connect it to my app iPhone so that I can get some useful telemetry data?

How can I get the iPhone to connect to r2d2 and what are all the steps? Thanks. The easiest way, is to start "r2d2.py" from the terminal, and then use telnet to connect to it from the iPhone.

You might also want to install ssh and then use the OpenSSH package for your iPhone. Note that if the two devices are in the same subnet on the same router, then this doesn't work, because it'll send a request to your computer (the one that runs r2d2), rather than trying to hit the iPhone.

What app do I use to control my r2d2?

This is a great example of the "It Depends" principle.

"What" is the answer to the question, "what system" applies. You don't want to use the same app that you would use for your iPad and your Droid because they may have different interfaces.

In your situation, you should use the standard android version of the app for controlling your droid and use the Android app on your iPad to remotely control your droid. This allows for more flexibility as long as you don't need touch the droid in your house while it's hooked up to your stereo.

This isn't that different from using your iPod touch with iTunes to download apps or music onto your home stereo.

Is the Hasbro Smart R2-D2 app discontinued?

I am trying to get a new R2-D2 from Amazon Prime Day (Prime delivery day 3/24/19 @ 9am local time) and the app says that this item is out of stock. Can anyone tell me if Hasbro has discontinued their Smart R2-D2 app? If so I will have to go to their website. Thanks!

It's because the new R2-D2 figure isn't available on Amazon as of yet, but the app is working fine for those who already have it. It has been reported though that they may not be taking pre-orders until March 1st. Source. The app is working fine for me. It shows the listing of R2-D2 which means it is still available. When you click on the listing it will let you know if you can order it and if not it will tell you that too.
