Android robot control app

[klims]

Hey guys,

I recently wrote an app using App Inverntor for my Android phone and thought I'd share it if anyone was interested. It was made for my Samsung Galaxy S (Froyo, 480 x 800 screen).

All the action buttons/check boxes can be programmed to send out whatever text you like over a bluetooth connection.


Current limitations:
-non-fluid layout (all buttons are hard coded to a position). This means that it may not work well on screens with less res than 480 x 800.
-no multi threading, which means no receiving of information, only sending.

I have source code for the Axon using Webbotlib also if you can't be bothered writing your own.


Cheers

Edit: can't upload the .apk file. It's too big. PM me your email address if you want it.

I'm curious, how do you communicate with the Axon?

[klims]

Bah! I must have been sleeping when I started this thread.

It communicates using bluetooth.

tried zipping it?

[Webbot]

Or make it a free download on the Android market place?

[klims]

tried zipping it?

Yeah still too large. The file shrunk from 1,173 KB to 1,168 KB lol.

Or make it a free download on the Android market place?

Google says it can't be done at the moment. Haven't looked into it any more than this.

[Admin]

Email it to me, and I'll host it on SoR for you.

hey Klims - looks good !!

Did you design the gait in my Gait Designer and use the Gait Runner part of WebbotLib ?
If so I'd like to add a link to it from the WebbotLib website - if its ok with you

[klims]

Yes, yes and yes

How are you able to connect over bluetooth?

I've never tried my Axon with Andriod, but I tried an arduino. The problem I kept running into was that it wouldn't pair with the device and had to use Armarino to pair the bluetooth (Andriod meets Arduino).

[klims]

I am using the BlueSmirf and it connects fine to Android. I don't think the Axon really has much to do with the connection, just receiving the data

[klims]

I've written a new version of this app for anyone who is interested.
