Physicaloid Library

==================

Android Library for communicating with physical-computing boards (e.g.Arduino, mbed)

![Android x Arduino](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-weC-lA-1rdw/UeaCzIrWR3I/AAAAAAAACno/u-ZapAmzkz8/s640/android_arduino.jpg)

Users does not need to download an Arduino sketch from a web site.

![Download sketch](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hh-vISkTL6w/UeaC5moml2I/AAAAAAAACn8/g7Dozio1QrE/s640/physicaloid_download.png)

You (developer) can include Arduino firmwares in your Android app and upload to Google Play.

Features

-----------------

- Android Java library project

- USB-Serial communication

- upload a firmware to an Arduino

- support on Android 3.1 or higher (need USB Host API feature)

- **does not require ROOT**

- support USB-Serial protocols : CDC-ACM, FTDI, Silicon Labs CP210x

- support uploading firmware protocols : STK500, STK500V2

- open-source(Apache License 2.0)

Code example

-----------------

### Upload a firmware from Android to Arduino ###

```java

Physicaloid mPhysicaloid = new Physicaloid(this);

mPhysicaloid.upload(Boards.ARDUINO_UNO, "/sdcard/arduino/Blink.hex");

```

### Write serial data to Arduino ###

```java

Physicaloid mPhysicaloid = new Physicaloid(this);

if(mPhysicaloid.open()) {

    byte[] buf = "moemoe".getBytes();

    mPhysicaloid.write(buf, buf.length);

    mPhysicaloid.close()

}

```

### Read serial data from Arduino ###

```java

Physicaloid mPhysicaloid = new Physicaloid(this);

TextView TextView1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView1);// Android TextView

if(mPhysicaloid.open()) {

    byte[] buf = new byte[256];

    mPhysicaloid.read(buf, buf.length);

    String str = new String(buf);

    TextView1.append(str);

    mPhysicaloid.close();

}

```

How to use

-----------------

1. File -> import and select a PhysicaloidLibrary directory.

2. Right click your project -> Properties -> Android -> click Library's "Add" button -> select PhysicaloidLibrary
