That's right! After a couple of weeks of work, I finally figured out how to control my in-game minecraft lights from my phone, by calling a phone number.



If I get some decent feedback on this, I may release a tutorial or something showing how to set it all up, and then maybe you guys can think of other ways to use this. Also, this may not be the best way to do this, but hey. It gets the job done. Let me know what you think of this so far.



Also, I'm running out of things to do with this idea. If you've got any suggestions, let me know!

You should be able to embed videos with the MEDIA tag or it should do it automatically if you paste the YouTube link with HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Awesome! Thanks! I thought it used to be the [YouTube][/YouTube] tags. So many forum tags to keep track of.

Holy crap, you mad genius, I never even thought of controlling anything in minecraft via cell phone. +1.

ComputerCraft is officially a medium between the real world now.

But that aside, we've been able to do such things for a long time via peripherals and/or the HTTP API.

Not trying to rain on your parade, just pointing out that the capabilities for such things are all there and that people just have to seize the opportunity to try them out.

Yeah, I agree but I haven't seen anyone use their phone with it like this.

I've seen people able to control redstone via their web browser so they could easily open a web browser on their phone and open it the control website.

Very true, unless you don't have Internet access plus, you could get notifications this way via SMS.

If you don't have internet access, then you wouldn't have ComputerCraft nor Minecraft.

I'm saying if you're away from home. You'd be able to monitor your machines while away.

Ah, ok. Gotta be specific with me

Thanks a lot!

Keep your eyes out for another video showing off a cell phone controlled temperature gauge! Just working on adding a couple more features, then I'll release it.

[iownall555]

That is quite possibly the most creative thing I've seen. Please create more videos.
I have an arduino with a gsm shield somewhere so I might have to test something like this.

Thanks man! If you're looking forward to more videos, you should subscribe so you're notified when I release more!

How did you get the communication between your phone and the server? Or what every interface between the phone and the computer.
