    I have tested latency in fast vehicles, and whilst I have not yet got a quantitative value (tomorrow's project;-) ), it seems much lower than the latency of the ir receiver. There will be tutorials and source code released and an arduino library made, but as with everything else, only if the project is funded, I only have 44/1200£ so far. There will be an android application released for free on google play for remote control. I have not thought about a case, but I guess one could make a case out of Lego quite easily :-) EDIT: if you are interested in helping with the code, contact me via the kickstarter, just make sure I know it's you.

    Thanks for the feedback Lee, 1)The shield will support NXT and EV3 motors with the adapter cables, but they will only have the same functionality as the power functions motors because the shield will not interface with the rotary encoders. 2)The full shield measures 7x9x4.5 studs, but if that is too big the mini shield for the arduino nano/micro is also available

    YES! The PFShield can use up to 50 pf LEDs per channel!

    Thanks darksheep, I'll be sure to update the kickstarter with more info about programmability, and maybe a even a video of it. I like the idea of a standalone product, but I think it would not be worth the effort when you could use the mini PFShield with an arduino nano (~5cmx1.5cmx2cm) to get the same function. Sadly, the international shipping to South Africa would cost around $12, but if you want one, contact me via kickstarter and I'm sure we can work something out.

    Thanks for the feedback JB, it really helps develop the project. I have added a comparison of the IR receiver, PFShield and SBrick to the kickstarter page as per your suggestion

    I've created an Arduino shield to control Lego Power Functions: An Arduino is a small, programmable microcontroller with lots of I/O (input/output) pins. It can be programmed from a computer, and it can interface with various devices. An Arduino shield is a circuit board that mounts onto the top of an Arduino to give it extra functionality. It is powered from a Power Functions plug, and has 3 channels that can be controlled via bluetooth, or programmed with the Arduino. See the kickstarter for more info: http://kck.st/1KqXFFV, and if you want one, please consider backing it. I will post some images of it in various models if you guys like it. What are your opinions on it, or do you have any improvements to suggest?
