Androbot
An android app which allows you to control any Robot or Embedded Sys. interfaced bluetooth using Serial Port Profile(SPP).

This is a simple app for beginners learning to use Arduino/Any Development using Serial communication and control their project from their Android Smartphone/Tablet.
Understanding how the app sends data:
The app uses separate Thread with a loop to send data continuously after every 100ms (this would be user configurable in further versions of the app) in form of a byte*. *(Which could be type-casted to int as well char as per convenience)
Which key/button would send will send which byte can be seen in the table:
| Key | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data(char) | “1” | “2” | “3” | “4” | “5” | “6” | “7” |
| Data(int ) | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 |
| Data(byte) | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 |
For example: If the key 1 is pressed on the screen. The data send would be single char i.e.“1” which could be type casted and used to establish control over Arduino as follows:
Int read; read=Serial.Read(); if(read==48){ //Write your Code for what to do }

I will be adding adding further functionality based on user reviews like accelerometer,GPS , PWM ,Serial terminal etc so if you have any specific need please do write an review.
