Preface

Android phones are a great platform for developing apps, but sometimes it is nice if those apps go beyond the built-in hardware of the phone and connect to some homemade electronics.

The IOIO board allows you to do just that, and this book will show you how to use the IOIO board and interface it to various different electronic modules and components.

These techniques involved in using IOIO are illustrated in example projects. These projects are:

  • An intruder alarm that uses your phone to send an SMS text message when movement is detected by its PIR sensor.

  • A Bluetooth temperature logger that records temperatures onto the SD card of your phone.

  • An 8x8 LED Matrix display that will display animations and is controlled by your phone.

  • A Bluetooth rover that you can control from your Android phone.

What You Will Need

For all the projects, you will need an Android phone running Android 2.1 or later, and of course, an IOIO board.

Each project also requires some additional parts, and these are listed along with order codes for US and international component suppliers.

The projects are of various levels of difficulty and all require a little soldering, so you will also need a soldering iron.

How to Use this Book

You need to read Chapter 1 to get started, but then you can pick and choose from the remaining project chapters. All the code for the projects is available at http://www.ioiobook.com.

Acknowledgments

I thank Linda for giving me the time, space, and support to write this book, and for putting up with the various messes my projects create around the house.

Thanks to Ytai Ben-Tsvi, the originator of IOIO, for doing such a good job on the platform and his most useful comments on the book during its writing.

Nathan and Aaron at Sparkfun kept me supplied in IOIOs, and I thank them for their help and encouragement.

Finally, I would like to thank Andy Oram, Mike Hendrickson, and everyone at OReilly who has had a hand in producing this book.

Chapter 1. Getting Started with IOIO

IOIO (pronounced YoYo ) is an input/output board for Android phones and tablets. It allows you to attach electronic devices to your Android phone using the USB connection. If you have a IOIO with the latest firmware, you can also communicate over Bluetooth if you attach a Bluetooth adapter to the IOIO.

In this chapter we will look at how to set up your computer and Android phone to use the IOIO and use the sample application that comes with the IOIO software to turn the status LED on and off for your phone.
