Whether you’d like to do some real-time logging of data, or just want to control a project with your Android phone, [Thomas]‘s Arduino-Android Bluetooth connection (http://www.instructables.com/id/Androino-Talk-with-an-Arduino-from-your-Android-d/)instructable is sure to be useful
[Thomas]‘ build uses the very inexpensive JY-MCU Bluetooth module that’s available on eBay or dealextreme (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/jy-mcu-arduino-bluetooth-wireless-serial-port-module-104299). This Bluetooth module ties directly into the Tx and Rx lines of the Arduino so a wireless serial connection between an Android device can be established. On the Android side of the build, Python for Android (http://code.google.com/p/python-for-android/) and the Scripting Layer for Android (http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/) allow for reading wireless sensor data over Bluetooth.
While connecting an Android device to an Arduino is also possible with an IOIO (http://hackaday.com/2011/04/07/a-breakout-board-for-your-android-phone/) or anAndroid Open Accessory (http://hackaday.com/2011/05/11/official-android-open-accessory-development-kit-its-an-arduino/) dev kit, we haven’t seen much (barring this (http://hackaday.com/2012/01/19/controlling-a-cute-ikea-night-light-with-android-on-the-cheap/)) about controlling or reading simple electronics with Android over Bluetooth. Sometimes you just don’t need an awesome dev board to bodge up a simple project, so we hope [Thomas]‘s very nice instructable will help get a few more builds off the ground.
