Professional Android Open Accessory Programming with Arduino  (English, Paperback, Goransson Andreas)

The book will have three kinds of content: explanatory sections, short examples and projects.   The explanatory sections explain the hardware and software concepts behind AOA, the ADK and Arduino.   The short examples provide short but fully-functional code designed to perform exactly one function such as measure external temperature and display it on the screen of the Android device. The projects are longer, more in-depth examples of fully-functional programs with well-commented code along with the narrative.

Special Features

• Android Open Accessory (AOA) is a new, simple, and secure protocol for connecting any microcontroller-empowered device to an Android smartphone or tablet.
• Readers will learn how to use their smartphone to control home lights, air conditioning, entertainment systems and more.
• Teaches Android programmers the circuit-building skills needed to create practical products, not just toys or games! Think medical devices that wirelessly report data to your doctor.
• AOA takes Arduino out of the hands of hobbyists and gives developers the power to create truly powerful, sophisticated new products.
