The toolkit consists of two parts:
- Android application named "Amarino" and an
- Arduino library which is called "MeetAndroid"
You should have:
- An Android phone with Android 1.5 or 1.6 - HTC Hero and Samsung Behold are not supported yet, but each Android 2.0 phone will be supported in near future
- An Arduino board (Lilypad, Duemilanove, ...)
- A Bluetooth shield for your Arduino. IMPORTANT!!! Please set your Bluetooth module to 57600 baud otherwise you will get corrupted data.
Only the Arduino BT board works with 115200 baud without flaws.
- Some electronic components to make your Arduino happy (whatever you need to realize your ideas)
We designed the toolkit so that it is easy for you to start without Android programming knowledge
at all, however you should invest some time to become familiar with Arduino.
There are tons of Arduino tutorials out there
which will help you to quickly get first results.
Once your Arduino environment is set up and you managed to do your first steps with it, you can
start to install the toolkit.
