Android / Arduino / USB cable

in Android Processing • 2 years ago

Hello,

I am thinking using an Android device to control an Arduino board.

I guess I have to have a look to the Android Open Accessory Development Kit

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/adk.html

This guy already did it but not via Processing:

Is somebody tried before??

What is the method I am suppose to use to be able to use the ADK into Android Processing ?

Bumping this topic instead of creating a new one. Need to do the same thing but just recieve data from the arduino via USB. I would use wifi or bluetooth to connect the arduino to my android tablet then use the ketai library but the system has to be used on an aircraft, so the connection has to be via USB.

Anyone know of the library to do android/usb/arduino or are there any examples around?

Thanks

Well, I have been looking into this also, if you are using the Arduino MEGA ADK, it will receive data from specific devices once its connected to the usb on the board.

http://labs.arduino.cc/ADK/Index

The above link is the part of the arduino site dedicated to the MEGA board and looking around it they have said:

" a Nexus S, a Nexus One, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or any other device supporting accessory mode (refer to the Getting Started page for more information)"

All devices will work in the ADB mode (Android Development Bridge mode) look at their "Getting Started page" for details. For me when I connect my phone to the board it states on the phone that there is no application to read the device, that means I'll probably have to get my hands dirty in eclipse to create an app that can allow my device (Samsung GALAXY S2) to talk with the board. see the link below...

there are a few apps on the play store that may also help, I haven't had luck with them. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy SII. I'm also looking into wirelessly connecting with the UNO...but I haven't got all the parts yet for that...once I have a working system I'll share the wealth!
