Android Arduino Software

A high level look at the software steps are:

  1. Load Cyanogen on Android phone *
  2. Download the Android Scripting Environment application from code.google.com
  3. Copy cellbot.py file to phone’s SD card /sdcard/ase/scripts/
  4. Load Cellbot code on Arduino board
  5. Run the Python script and telnet into the robot from a remote machine to control it

* For commercial version of Android, an additional BlueTooth module is required instead of serial

This Instructable goes into more detail on connecting the Android to Arduino and how the serial output works. All of the source code, including the Python that runs on the phone, and the Arduino program, can be found on our Google Code product site.

    Is it compatible with the HTC HERO ?

    We’re not sure if anyone has serial output working on the Hero yet. Let us know if you try it and how it works out. Adding on a BlueTooth module should be fine but we also haven’t done that yet.

    We haven’t tried older Cyanogen, but please share your findings on the group https://groups.google.com/group/cellbots/topics?pli=1

    I’m running it on the cyanogenMod 4.2.15.1 on the G1, had to download the latest ASE for it to install properly though

    I installed Cyanogen 5.0.7 (which is Android 2.1)yesterday on my G1 and can confirm that bluetooth works. I had to uninstall and reinstall both the ASE and Python within the ASE for everything to work.

    Does anyone know which type of video information are supported? I keep in mind the Instinct solely may dl 3gp using opera mini. I downloaded the twist ap, perhaps that is the problem? How can I watch videos from websites other than youtube? Which file sorts? Usually I’m given the choice of 3gp or mpeg4. Can’t get either to work. Thanks on your time! Rattling I wish I used to be eligible for the upgrade to EVO!
