Android IO project

Project description

This project allows the Raspberry Pi* to access the sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, …) and other IO of an Android* device, similar to the GPIO library. There is a corresponding Android app (ADDPIO on the Google Play Store) to run on the Android device(s). The Raspberry Pi and all Android devices must be connected to the same network. This uses UDP port 6297 to communicate. Create a new ADDPIO object passing the ip address (this is displayed on the Android app). The object has an input and output function that takes a type number and value. See below for the standard type number symbols or use the number displayed on the Android app. The Android sensors return an array of values (e.g. x,y,z). For ADDPIO sensor input the value parameter represents the index into the array of values returned by the sensor. For other input, the value is ignored. The Android app has several widgets for IO: buttons, LEDs, a touchpad, alarm, notification, and text. Read the ip address and available sensors from the Android app.

from ADDPIO import ADDPIO myHost = ADDPIO(“192.168.0.0”) myValue = myHost.input(ADDPIO.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER,1) myValue = myHost.input(12345,47) myHost.output(ADDPIO.ALARM,1) myHost.output(ADDPIO.ALARM,0)

See the testADDPIO.py program for an example.
