Preface
Android phones are a great platform for developing apps, but sometimes it is nice if those apps go beyond the built-in hardware of the phone and connect to some homemade electronics.
The IOIO board allows you to do just that, and this book will show you how to use the IOIO board and interface it to various different electronic modules and components.
These techniques involved in using IOIO are illustrated in example projects. These projects are:
An intruder alarm that uses your phone to send an SMS text message when movement is detected by its PIR sensor.
A Bluetooth temperature logger that records temperatures onto the SD card of your phone.
An 8x8 LED Matrix display that will display animations and is controlled by your phone.
A Bluetooth rover that you can control from your Android phone.
What You Will Need
For all the projects, you will need an Android phone running Android 2.1 or later, and of course, an IOIO board.
Each project also requires some additional parts, and these are listed along with order codes for US and international component suppliers.
The projects are of various levels of difficulty and all require a little soldering, so you will also need a soldering iron.
How to Use this Book
You need to read Chapter 1 to get started, but then you can pick and choose from the remaining project chapters. All the code for the projects is available at http://www.ioiobook.com.
