@roman: Wow! The android stuff looks promising. I'll be following your progress. Please keep us updated.

The android stuff is at the bottom, the top is win32 stuffs ;)

I'm planing to have them look the same...

Very nice layout. I"ll keep an eye on this for sure! Good job Roman!

I've been twidling around with interfacing android and arduino, wrote a blog post, check out the comments too

I wrote how I got the serial ports on my phone to work at http://progsrp.moonfruit.com/#/android-serial/4548697508

 

but it looks like the best way forward is using an MCU to manipulate the ADB shell thing, like microbridge

Are you using the RFM22 ? Was it the one the gave you 100m ?

Can you share the code ?

RFM22 are legal in Germany and very cheap, so they are quite interesting.

@amilcar.lucas : yes, I'm using a rfm22, but I did a mistake calculating my antenna lenght, it is too short, I thing this is why my range is so bad... I'm waiting for various antenna to make different try.

I don't know yet if I'll share the code, maybe... ;)

 

@Hamish : I spent lot of time on the wen trying to find a way to communicate with my tablet, microbridge was one of my solution, but it is too complicated. And I have lot of trouble trying to root it, and you also need to be root to use the serial api...

as my receiver can be use with a default configuration on which you have nothing to send throught serial line, the only thing I have to do is to look at what comes frome /dev/ttyACM0 (usb cdc). But I spent lot of time trying to figure how to do that, I don't like java either... this way, no need to be root nor to sold wires inside of the tablet ;)

The wire looks pretty long already compared to an Xbee even though the frequency is about half. Maybe you can try a 1/4 wavelength antenna while you're waiting for other parts, should be a manageable length and we know it works in a similar application.

yep, will try that on next week-end ;)

hope my antenna will come soon, so that I could try different shapes...
