Sending more commands from your Android phone to the Pi
In the previous section, we have sent the reboot command from Android to the Pi. In this section, we will send two new commands. One to light up a LED that we will connect to the Pi, and another to play sound on the Pi. These commands will be reused in the forthcoming sections.
