App Inventor — a Google cast-out that is now maintained by MIT — is a graphical tool that unlocks the power of an Android handset to those with the most basic of programming understanding.

Using the Android Tricorder app, he was able to locate his phone’s magnetometer, after which he ran some tests to narrow down the best sample rate and frequency range for communications.

The IoT Remote app is widely accessible, available to both Android and iOS users. If you’re new to the Arduino Cloud, getting started is as simple as downloading the app and signing up.

There's more to Android than just hacking that app or operating system, says Google. You'll soon be able to hack Android hardware too, thanks to a new Arduino-based platform.

Still, a nice beginner video to watch in honor of Arduino Day (today!). How to Build Custom Android App for Your Arduino Project Using MIT App Inventor | YouTube via Adafruit ...

Using a one-meter-by-one-centimeter copper cable, the Android app , and a 120-ohm resistor, Joe made a coil from all the copper wire, which then connected to the arduino via the resistor on one end.

For most beginning hardware hackers, Arduino is hard and Linux/Android is easy. The folks at UDOO, a Kickstarter project that ends tonight, aim to solve that by mixing the best of both worlds. The ...

The integration of Arduino and Android technology in coffee roasting offers several benefits. Firstly, it enhances precision and consistency, which are critical for producing high-quality coffee.

The Arduino gets a Bluetooth attachment and a set of code. Then you'll need Android Meets Robots, an app that lets you pair voice recognition with any Bluetooth module.

The height and spoon positioning can be adjusted too, depending on pot size. An Arduino Uno helps keep the stirrer moving once the app connects. The Android app is made using the Google ADK.

Well tech tinkerer Joe Desbonnet has whipped up what he dubs "poor man's NFC" using an Arduino, some magnet wire, and any compass-equipped Android smartphone (which is almost all of them).

Using a one-meter-by-one-centimeter copper cable, the Android app Tricorder, and a 120-ohm resistor, Joe made a coil from all the copper wire, which then connected to the arduino via the resistor ...
