This is a short update: I am still waiting for the materials, so I looked into what I can do with what I have so far. After playing with the transmitter and receiver as I described in my previous update I decided to look into the wireless communication protocol and the user interface software application. Being familiar with Python I put together a python script that would read the data from an Arduino Uno board and display it on a panel. I then started to make it a little more complicated and I added buttons for specific data selection and for sending commands to Arduino. After making this user interface work I started to explore how I can run this script on an Android smart phone or tablet. So I found Qpython Python for Android app and Py4A project. So one option is to translate my script to run it on a Android tablet using one of these apps; however, I decided to explore also the possibility to implement the user interface directly in Android SDK. I don’t have much experience programming in Android SDK, so I started with a few tutorials. So this is my short update for now. I look forward to receive the Analog Devices modules and the rest of materials. I will then have more interesting things to share in these updates.
Best Wishes,
Cosmin
