Control Your Arduino Project From Your Android Phone
Martin sent in his super cool open source Android Controller library and Android app for wireless interaction with his projects. via bitbucket
The Arduino Controller lets you control your Arduino project from your Android phone or tablet. You can code interactive UIs using buttons, text fieds, sliders and even live diagrams – right in your Arduino sketch! Or you can use your Android’s gyroscope to control your Arduino bot. And much more.
Getting started
The project consists of two parts: The Android app The Arduino library Install the Android app (or compile it from the source)
Add the Arduino library from /arduino-code/AndroidController.zip to your Arduino library folder
Connect a bluetooth serial module (like the JY-MCU), to TX on pin 10 and RX on pin 11
Run the provided example program bundled with the library (AndroidControllerDemo)
Start the android app and connect to your (previously bonded) bt device

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
