GOOGLE ANDROID ADK BLUETOOTH WIRELESS communications

when the Google ADK was announced, the team over at [ElectFreaks] jumped ideal in as well as started experimenting to see what they might make with the new Arduino/Android interface. While the ADK was fantastic for enabling the two gadgets to interact over a USB connection, they felt that the system would be far much better if it enabled for wireless communications instead.

They added a Bluetooth Bee to their Arduino configuration as well as got hectic composing an Android application that utilizes the handset’s developed in Bluetooth module to interact utilizing the ADK. The application configures your phone to act as either a client or server when pairing. This does not impact data flow, as communications are bi-directional, it simply makes a decision which gadget is put in discoverable mode.

As you can see in the second part of their post, when the phone as well as Arduino are connected, it is rather simple to send serial data back as well as forth between the two devices.

As of ideal now, their Bluetooth API is in Beta, so things may still be a bit rough around the edges. They do motivate any individual to download as well as customize the code, which is freely offered on their site.
