MIT app inventor Arduino For Andriod

Course on MIT app inventor Arduino For Andriod

Creating Andriod apps using MIT app inventor and connected the app with arduino to make things work, I often get email stating something went missing when they follow my tutorial, Here's a step by step tutorial on getting started with creating MIT app inventor and control things with arduino Technolgy

1. App Inventor: How to Make an Android App - The Basics

In this tutorial, I show you the basic concepts of Google App Inventor. Keep watching this series to learn many advanced features of the software. Remember, the things I go over in this video are essential to learn before building up your knowledge.

2. Getting Started with Arduino and Android 

 MIT app inventor and what are the requirements need to get started with this video series, anyone watching this video can make their own app and control a LED connected to arduino without any prior experience

Blinking an LED is the first thing we do when we getting started with electronics in this tutorial you will TURN ON and TURN OFF the LED, this is the Hello world example in this tutorial, you don't need any prior coding experience to make this application work. To test the app that created during this tutorial, you need an Android mobile or android supported devices to test your app. creating an app with MIT app inventor is very simple

example code to Arduino 

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

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
String state;// string to store incoming message from bluetooth
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // serial communication started
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // LED connected to 13th pin


}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------//  
void loop() {
  while (Serial.available()){  //Check if there is an available byte to read
  delay(10); //Delay added to make thing stable 
  char c = Serial.read(); //Conduct a serial read
  state += c; //build the string- either "On" or "off"
  }  
  if (state.length() > 0) {
    
  if(state == "on") 
  {
    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
    
      } 
  
  else if(state == "off") 
  {
    digitalWrite(13, LOW);
     }

state ="";} //Reset the variable
}
