Android phone controls Arduino over wifi
We recently did a little demo to send data to an Arduino with a TCP/IP Shield (using ATC-1000M) from an Android device via Wifi. The Android phone in this demo uses Android Scripting Environment (ASE). It is available on Android Market for free. Videos and source code after the break.

HOW-TO: ATC-1000M TCP/IP to UART Arduino shield
The goal of this tutorial is to use the ATC-1000M with the Arduino. Our ATC-1000M came integrated in a TCP/IP to serial shield. This shield can be used by an Arduino to connect to a LAN or wireless router.
Infrared Toy serial bridge with an RFID reader
Here’s our first test of the USB to serial mode of the USB Infrared Toy. We used it with a UART-based RFID card reader. Pictures and a sample Python script after the break. The USB IR Toy is $20, including worldwide shipping. Every sale supports this open source project.
AT command script processor for GSM modem debugging
Last week we wrote some software for a GSM (cellular) modem module. The GSM modem is controlled by AT commands, like an old landline modem. Debugging is usually done by typing AT commands into Hyperterminal or the Bus Pirate. We got tired of tapping out tons of AT commands by hand, so we created an […]
