Android-Sensors-Arduino

I've collected various projects about Android and Arduino using together.

I also suggest you to read Professional Android Sensor Programming, a very well organized book on Android Sensors.

Android Arduino Communication through Modbus and RS485

A project on that consists of connecting an Android development board to one (or more) Arduino slave(s) using modbus protocol and rs485.

RS485 is a well known standard that has been widely used in the indus­trial con­text and in building automa­tion appli­ca­tions. It is a half-duplex, 2-wires, low noise bus that allows high speeds and remote devices connection (up to 1200 meters).
Furthermore, modbus is a serial communication protocol, developed for industrial applications, open and easy to deploy and maintain. 

Use your android phone sensors on the arduino 

In modern smartphones, there are a lot of useful sensors for an ingenious arduino project. I have a motorola DEFY, for example and it has (at least) 6 sensors :
- light sensor
- proximity sensor
- aGPS (assisted gps)
- compass/magnetometer
- accelerometer
- orientation sensor
This instructable's purpose is to get you started using these sensors from your arduino.

DIY Air Quality Sensing from HabitatMap and Sonoma Tech

AirCasting is a platform for recording, mapping, and sharing health and environmental data using Arduino and Android. It combines an Arduino with a set of sensors for air quality measurement; temperature, humidity, and carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter. The system combines the sensors using an Arduino Uno and then sends the data to an Android app using Bluetooth.

SensorGraph using android, amarino and arduino

This tutorial is for novices who have never made any Android application or worked with Amarino. If you have never done any experiment with Android and Arduino, start with the this experiment.

Need the following components/equipments for SensorGraph experiment:
a. Android Smart Phone
b. Arduino Duemilanova ATmega 328
c. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
d. Androidsdk
e. Amarino Toolkit
f. Bluetooth Modem
g. Potentiometer, Temperature Sensor, Light dependent resistor any other kinds of variable resistor.
