09/30/2017 at 20:09 • 0 commentsM2M Demo - Full Pack (Lesson #0 to #13)
This Full pack include all Tutorials to advice you to :
1/ Control external devices like LED, Piezo Buzzer, Servo Motor, DC Motor,...
2/ Read external devices state/values like Button, Potentiometer, Piezo Buzzer, Temperature Sensor, Light Intensity Sensor, Tilt Switch, Touch Capacitive Sensor, Infrared LED, ... with an Android Smartphone (You can do the same with an iPhone, only writing Objective-c code :) ).REQUIRED
SOFTWARE
- Installing Android Framework (Ideally latest version with all ADT Plugins updated).
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html- Installing latest Arduino Framework.
http://arduino.cc/en/guide/windows#.UwUMIs7KF28- Installing Arduino Mega 2560 latest driver ( http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega2560#.UwUMTs7KF28 ) or Arduino Uno latest driver ( http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno#.UwUMU87KF28 ) on your computer.
- Installing Accessory Development Kit.

> Android
- REALLY minimum Android coding experience (UI, manifest file params, permissions, life cycle, ...).> Specific Android class to study :
- Activity
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
- Service
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html
- BroadcastReceiver
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html
- ContentProvider
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentProvider.html> Arduino
- Minimum Arduino coding experience (C "light" language).
Good reference to start and train is : http://forum.arduino.cc/> Electronic
- To design your electronic schema, you can use Fritzing.HARDWARE
- Smartphone with Android 2.3.3+ (Nexus 4 with Kitkat (4.4.2) and more for these tutorials).
- Arduino 2560 Mega ADK and/or Arduino UNO.
- A SURE USB 2.0 cable (Data & Power).
- Have always a full charged mobile phone, because there's problems between USB synchronization response and the micro-controller when connected each other.
- Basic Electronic knowledge (Electronic components polarity, reading circuit diagrams, understanding components datasheet).
- Some electronics components and tools (Breadboard, Wires & Jumper, Button, Resistor, Zener LED, Infrared LED, Switch, Tilt Switch Sensor, Light Sensor, Temperature Sensor, Volt meter, Oscilloscope, Soldering iron, Desoldering pump, PCB, Wire stripper, ...).If you want to train with a correct package including all required basic electronic components and tutorials well explained in a book, we advice you the Arduino Starter Kit : http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoStarterKit#.UwUYjc7KF28
For tools (Volt meter, Oscilloscope, Soldering iron, Desoldering pump, PCB, ...) , go to your favorite electronic components shop.
GENERAL ADVICES
Smartphone
- Always be sure that your smartphone has sufficient power to communicate with the Arduino board, because Smartphone / Micro-controller synchronization is sensitive to that.Android Framework
- Create Android Projects with Google API 10 or 12.Arduino
- Before uploading Sketch in your Arduino micro-controller, use [Menu Sketch / Verify & Compile] to check your code.
- Check that your computer COM port is available when you upload Arduino sketch in your micro-controller [Menu Tools / Port].
- Check that you choose the right micro-controller before uploading your sketch in Arduino micro-controller [Menu Tools / Board].
- Use Arduino Serial.print() instruction in your code & The serial Monitor (Tools / Serial Monitor) to debug, because when your smartphone is connected to the Arduino board, you won't see what it send to the micro-controller through Eclipse DDMS debugger.Electronic

- Be carefull to always check TWO TIMES your electronic circuit before POWER/ON your Arduino Micro-controller : if you don't respect polarity for some electronic components, it could be dangerous (ex : capacitor, transistor, specific components are sensitive for shortcircuit or burning).
