Event Details

Arduino + Android Open Accessory Workshop

Android Open Accessory support opens up the ability of your Android device to accept input from common external USB hardware such as keyboards, mice, and game controllers. Even more exciting for the hardware hobbyist is the ability to use the Android Open AccessoryAPIs to control USB devices, including the popular Arduino microcontroller. This 5-hour, hands-on workshop will focus on allowing Android/Java developers the opportunity get their hands dirty with the fundamentals of electronics and the Android Open Accessory APIs. The workshop will give you the chance to get acquainted with a variety of basic electronic components such as LEDs, motors, sensors, and the Arduino-based ADK. Attendees will walk away with a hacked Dyzplastic Android figurine and all the parts to continue hacking away at home.

Workshop Pre-requisites:

All attendees must supply their own compatible Android device such as a tablet running OS version 3.1 or a Nexus One/Nexus S phone running OS version 2.3.4. Is there are any questions regarding the compatibility of your device, please email pearl@karma-laboratory.com before registering since refunds will not be issued. Attendees must also have some working knowledge of Java and the Android SDK and are requested to bring their own laptop with Eclipse and the latest Android SDK installed. The $250 registration fee includes all other equipment used during the
workshop. This workshop is best suited for Android developers with little to no prior electronics knowledge.
