Im trying to find out if it is possible to use an Android device (such as the G1, Touch or any other Android device)
I know that the G1 for instance has a usb port however I have been told it can not be used as a host device, I'm wondering if this can be overcome or if the usb port may be used as a serial connection for sending and receiving to other serial devices. By using the info found in this discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/439d3f3af7a88a09/10a80eb835e8dbcc?lnk=gst&q=serial&pli=1 One problem might be the 5v issue mentioned however I would be powering the external devices separately so I'm not worried about it. But I feel It should still be addressed in case anyone else were to use their device for similar sensors and controllers. The devices i would like to control are the ones found at: http://www.pololu.com/ Motor Controllers, Servo Controllers, Sonar Distance Sensors, Ect. That is obviously concern number one, concern number two is the software side of things which i feel will be easy in comparison. I envision using sliders to control outputs and an area for inputs. Also a "programing" screen where one could use the sliders/inputs to write a programed sequence of events, Possible even by using a "code" based input box. Anyone that has any interest or knows how to accomplish any of this please let me know or just add to the discussion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
