Android Volt Meter with IOIO Board

Android Volt Meter with IOIO Board

We can use Android phone as Digital Volt meter with IOIO Board.

We edit IOIO Sample App Source code. It has Analog to digital input code.
Testing on Samsung Spica i5700 ( Update to 2.2 )

มาทำ โวลต์มิเตอร์ ด้วย Android + IOIO Board ( โยโย่ บอร์ด )
ทดสอบกับโทรศัพท์มือถือ samsung spica i5700 ( up ROM เป็น 2.2 แล้วใช้ได้ )


Original Code

public void loop() throws ConnectionLostException {

      try {

            final float reading = input_.read();

            setText(Float.toString(reading));

           

pwmOutput_.setPulseWidth(1000 + seekBar_.getProgress());

            led_.write(!toggleButton_.isChecked());

            sleep(10);

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                  ioio_.disconnect();

            } catch (ConnectionLostException e) {

                  enableUi(false);

                  throw e;

            }

      }

Edit Code

public void loop() throws ConnectionLostException {

      try {

            final float reading = input_.getVoltage();                 

            float div4 = 4;

            setText(Float.toString(reading*div4));

           

                                   

            pwmOutput_.setPulseWidth(1000 + seekBar_.getProgress());

                  led_.write(!toggleButton_.isChecked());

                  sleep(10);

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                  ioio_.disconnect();

            } catch (ConnectionLostException e) {

                  enableUi(false);

                  throw e;

            }

      }

We change input   final float reading = input_.read();

setText(Float.toString(reading));

to                          final float reading = input_.getVoltage();           

                  float div4 = 4;

                  setText(Float.toString(reading*div4));

If you not use float div4 = 4; and setText(Float.toString(reading*div4));

You can read voltage only 3.3 V.

Then use div4 = 3.3 x 4 =  13.2 V. ( But need  voltage divider circuit )

Voltage Divider Circuit

V out = Vin/4  Then V out  connect to Pin 40 IOIO Board.

IOIO Board is External Interface board to control other device with Android Mobile phone.
We use a sample code form Sparkfun.
Use LG GT540 Android phone ( platform 2.1 ) for testing. It's work fine.

We also use Wellcom A86 Mobile phone but it's not work :(
Enjoy your hobby.

IOIO Board for Android Control I/O

IOIO Board for Android Control I/O

The IOIO (yo-yo") is a board specially designed to work with your Android device (OS versions 1.5 and greater). The board provides robust connectivity to an Android device via a USB connection and is fully controllable from within an Android application using a simple and intuitive Java API - no embedded programming or external programmer will ever be needed!

So far, the devices proven to work are: G1, Nexus One, Nexus S, Motorola Droid X. If you get the IOIO working on your Android device, please let us know in the comments below, thanks!

The IOIO board contains a single MCU that acts as a USB host and interprets commands from an Android app. In addition, the IOIO can interact with peripheral devices in the same way as most MCUs. Digital Input/Output, PWM, Analog Input, I2C, SPI, and UART control can all be used with the IOIO. Code to control these interfaces is written in the same way as you write an Android app with the help of a simple to use app-level library. In other words, you can combine the awesome computing power, Internet/Bluetooth connectivity, touch screen, and a variety of sensors from your Android device with the ability to easily add peripheral devices to interact with the outside world. Also, using the IOIO does not require any hardware or software modifications to your Android device, thus preserving the warranty as well as making the functionality available to non-hackers.

If you are new to the IOIO or developing apps with Android, please use these resources to help get started:

• Beginner's Guide
• Example Projects

For firmware upgrades, you can download the IOIO Manager app (see the QR code in the images to the right). See the IOIO Manager wiki for more information.

Also featured is a Programmer function, which lets you upgrade the bootloader of your IOIO using another IOIO as a programmer! See the IOIO Manager wiki for more information.

Specification Summary

• Microcontroller PIC24FJ128DA106-I/PT (with USB OTG , USB Host Support)
• 48 total I/O pins - all of which can function as digital inputs and outputs.
• Up to 16 analog inputs (10-bit).
• Up to 9 PWM outputs.
• Up to 4 UART channels.
• Up to 3 SPI channels.
• Up to 3 TWI (I²C-compatible) channels.
• On-board switch-mode regulator providing up to 1.5A of 5V supply. Can charge the Android device as well as power a couple of small motors. (Power Supply via USB cable from PC or Device)
• Bootloader on the board pulls firmware off phone, enabling OTA firmware upgrades and application-specific firmware.
• Pulse-width measurement, capacitance sensing and more (will be pushed with first OTA firmware upgrade).

Update: The IOIO now has beta firmware available which supports Google's Open Accessory (ADK) protocol. The code base can be found here.

Snake Game on Android

We have test sample android code classic game call "Snake game".

It work fine on my android mobile phone.

This code demonstrates how to create custom View layouts and request draws to the screen. A great example of a basic game that does not require a fast frame rate.

Android Development tools

Android Development Tools

If you want to develop Application on Android. You will need...

 1.JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes the JRE. ( I use Java SE 7 )

2.Eclipse with the Android Development ( I use Eclipse Classic 3.7.1 )

3.Android Development tools ADT Plugin for Eclipse

( I use				android-sdk_r13-windows.zip	)

			The Android Software Development Kits ( Android SDK ) is comprised of the platform, tools, sample code, and documentation needed to develop Android applications. It is built as an add-on to the Java Development Kit and has an integrated plugin for the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment. Here's an overview of the steps you must follow to set up the Android SDK: Prepare your development computer and ensure it meets the system requirements. JDK ( Java Development kit ) includes JRE Eclipse with Android Development kit ( SDK )  For SDK If you're on Windows, download the installer for help with the initial setup. ADT Plugin for Eclipse (if you'll be developing in Eclipse). Installing and Upgrading There are many places on the Internet that discuss detailed step-by-step instructions on how to install the Android SDK. For example, all the necessary links can be found on the Google website http://developer.android.com/sdk/.Therefore, the general procedure outlined here serves to emphasize the most common installation steps for reference.These steps should be done on a host computer used as the development environment. 1. Install the Java Development Kit (for example, install JDK 6.0 for use with Android 2.1 or above; JDK 5.0 is the minimum version needed for any earlier version of Android). 2. Install Eclipse Classic (for example, version 3.7.1). In the case of Windows, this just needs to be unzipped in place and is ready to use. 3. Install the Android SDK starter package (for example, version r16). In the case of Windows, this just needs to be unzipped in place and is ready to use. 4. Start Eclipse and select Help → Install New Software..., and then type https:// dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ and install the Android DDMS and Android Development Tools. 5. In Eclipse, select Window → Preferences... (on a Mac, select Eclipse → Preferences) and select Android. Browse to the location where the SDK was unzipped and apply. 6. In Eclipse, select Window → Android SDK and AVD Manager → Available Packages, and then choose the necessary APIs to install (for example, Documentation for Android SDK,API 8; SDK Platform Android 2.2,API 8; Google APIs by Google Inc.; and Android API 8). 7. From the same Android SDK and AVD Manager menu, create an Android virtual device to run the emulator or install USB drivers to run applications on a pluggedin phone. 8. In Eclipse, select Run →Run Configurations... and create a new run configuration to be used with each Android application (or similar for a Debug Configuration). Android JUnit tests can be configured here, too.
