Description
Learn how to control your home or car from your Android smartphone - air conditioning, lights, entertainment systems, and more!
Android Open Accessory is a new, simple, and secure protocol for connecting any microcontroller-empowered device to an Android smartphone or tablet. This Wrox guide shows Android programmers how to use AOA with Arduino, the microcontroller platform, to control such systems as lighting, air conditioning, and entertainment systems from Android devices. Furthermore, it teaches the circuit-building skills needed to create games and practical products that also take advantage of Android technology.
* Introduces Android Open Accessory and shows how to set up the hardware and development environment
* Explains how to code both Android and Arduino elements of an accessory
* Features four complete projects developers can build using various sensors and indicators/actuators, including source code
* Gives Android developers the tools to create powerful, sophisticated projects
Professional Android Open Accessory with Android ADK and Arduino opens exciting new opportunities for Android developers.

Persons
Andreas Goransson has created a set of libraries and tools for Arduino ADK boards to communicate easily over USB with Android devices, in collaboration with David Cuartielles Ruiz. He is an active contributor to popular programming communities, where he creates both tools and libraries.
David Cuartielles Ruiz is co-founder of the Arduino prototyping platform and head of the Prototyping Laboratory at K3, Malmo University, Sweden. Together with Andreas Goransson, he has written libraries that enable Arduino to communicate with Android phones over Bluetooth.
Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.
