Use a simple iOS application to control a Magician Robot via Bluetooth LE. A virtual joystick is used on the iOS device to manipulate two differentially controlled PWM motors on the Magician Robot. Three degrees of freedom is possible (any direction on the cartesian coordinate, rotation about an axis, and speed control).

Dependencies:   BLE_nRF8001 Motordriver mbed
