# Sensor network with Android
## Background and motivation
Once I used RasPi/Arduino for IoT prototyping, ending up with unsatisfying results: complicated physical wiring problems.
So I started thinking of a combination of [PIC16F1-based sensor network](https://github.com/araobp/sensor-network) and Android to simplify physical wiring.
## Architecture
This is a framework for developing IoT applications on Android supporting dynamic feature enhancements:
- [(Physical) sensor network and sensor blocks with plug&play protocol](https://github.com/araobp/sensor-network)
- CLI and FTDI device driver (and BLE device driver to be supported in the future)
- [Edge computing components plug-in](https://github.com/araobp/sensor-network-android/tree/master/src/app/src/main/java/jp/araobp/iot/edge_computing/plugin)
- Flow-based programming (to be supported in the future)
CLI is also positioned as a main UI to launch other activities (plug-in etc).
Sensor network simulator is provided for debugging applications on Android w/o a physical sensor network.
I use [EventBus](http://greenrobot.org/eventbus/) to support messaging among components within the application on Android.
### Sensor list
My smartphone is equipped with built-in sensors. I add a sensor network to my smart phone to add other sensors.
|Sensor |Built-in|Add-on |
|-------------------------|--------|--------|
|Three-axis Accelerometer | Y | Y |
|Speed (hall sensor) | N | Y |
|Orientation sensor | Y | N |
|Magnetic sensor | Y | N |
|Temperature | N | Y |
|Humidity | N | Y |
|GPS | Y | N |
### Swapping Plug-in
At the moment, modify strings.xml manually to replace the current plug-in with another one:
```
jp.araobp.iot.edge_computing.plugin.cycling.Cycling
jp.araobp.iot.edge_computing.plugin.cycling.CyclingActivity
Cycling
```
In the future, I will add a more dynamic way to swap plug-in.
### Enabling built-in sensors
Again, modify strings.xml manually to enable/disable built-in sensors:
```
true
true
false
```
## Android apps
### Use case: bicycle
I develop in-bicycle network using the output from [sensor-network](https://github.com/araobp/sensor-network). It is like a cheap version of [CANopen](https://www.can-cia.org/canopen/) :-)
### CLI Activity
### Cycling Activity
### Technical requirements
- Very low power consumption
- Cheap
- Show current speed, acceleration, temperature and humidity on a character LCD
- Save time-series data (speed, temperature, humidity, acceleration and location) onto Android smartphone
### Thing: my bicycle
## Development tools
### Programing language
- [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/)
### IDE
- [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html)
- [ADB](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html)
### Libraries
- [Android Java D2XX driver](http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm)
- [EventBus](http://greenrobot.org/eventbus/)
## How to debug it
Since smartphone's USB port is occupied, connect adb to the smartphone via WiFi following [the guide](https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html):
```
1. adb tcpip 5555
2. disconnect USB cable
3. adb connect :5555
4. adb logcat
```
Or use the sensor network simulator included in this repo
