Arduino

A lightweight Android library to communicate with Arduino through USB.

Usage

Arduino arduino = new Arduino(Context);

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    arduino.setArduinoListener(new ArduinoListener() {
        @Override
        public void onArduinoAttached(UsbDevice device) {
            arduino.open(device);
        }

        @Override
        public void onArduinoDetached() {
            // arduino detached from phone
        }

        @Override
        public void onArduinoMessage(byte[] bytes) {
            String message = new String(bytes);
            // new message received from arduino
        }

        @Override
        public void onArduinoOpened() {
            // you can start the communication
            String str = "Hello Arduino !";
            arduino.send(str.getBytes());
        }
        
        @Override
        public void onUsbPermissionDenied() {
            // Permission denied, display popup then
            arduino.reopen();
        }
    });
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    arduino.unsetArduinoListener();
    arduino.close();
}

Custom vendor id

The library currently filters the vendor id 9025, but you can add your own filter by calling :

Arduino arduino = new Arduino(Context);
arduino.addVendorId(1234);

Custom delimiter while reading

You can set a custom delimiter byte (default is \n) :

Arduino arduino = new Arduino(Context);
arduino.setDelimiter(';');

Arduino Side

Example code which sends back every character received

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
    if(Serial.available()){
        char c = Serial.read();
        Serial.print(c);
    }
}

Sample Code

See MainActivity.java
