Which episode? We did an episode using the launchpad as an Arduino connecting to an Android phone.

I have the eclipse source code for Android as well as the Arduino code for Energia, which is the Arduino compiler for MSP430 kits. It's been along time since I did Android code, I don't think I even have Eclipse set up on my computer, so I can't walk you through too much with customizing the bluetooth code. Bluetooth on Android was not super fun, it doesn't like to receive binary data, ascii it was okay with.

I guess I don't understand what you are trying to do. You want an example of controlling something over wifi with an Android phone?

Then just encode and decode a packet, so like 'a' means a certain button, or 'b' means another button, etc.
