Android-Arduino linkup

By mw12 | May 13, 2011

Been a bit quiet on here recently, so here’s something interesting – Google have released an Android Open Accessory SDK for Android 3.1 and 2.3.4. It will allow USB devices to talk to your phone or tablet and the test implementation is based on an Arduino Mega (with a USB host shield). Kind of topsy-turvy to have your plugged in device as the USB host, while the Android gadget is the guest but I guess that’s a limitation of the phone hardware. More comment from Make here.
