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.

Sorry Admin I seem to have posted in the wrong section... ::)
-
I'm curious, how do you communicate with the Axon?
-
Bah! I must have been sleeping when I started this thread.
It communicates using bluetooth.

Edit: can't upload the .apk file.
tried zipping it?
-
Or make it a free download on the Android market place?
-
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.
-
Email it to me, and I'll host it on SoR for you.

In case anyone is interested...

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