P petros del Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 10, 2013 #1 Hello I am electronic engineer and I build many projects with microcontroller ,8bit risc like avr. I would like to upgrade my projects with high resolution displays animated graphics and touch screen. Microcontroller it is not best choice for big displays and high resolution graphics. My next project is to build instruments for car ,rpm speedometer etc. So I am thinking to design the ui with android and communicate with mc using bluetooth. Is that possible with basic4android ide? Microcontroller will read the sensors and send the values with bt , android read this values and write it to display. Also were I can buy android motherboard?

Beja Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 10, 2013 #3 Also were I can buy android motherboard? Click to expand... I am wondering why would you use Android motherboard when you are planning to use BT for your communication.. re-inventing the wheel.. I think the cheaper is to use Android tablet (7" in your case).. because these devices are cheap to earth, already rested and have built-in bluetooth. You can design your app to run in kiosk mode. You can use a motherboard or industrial Android device if you want to wire the sensors directly to the device, instead of sending the readings by wireless. Upvote 0

P petros del Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 10, 2013 #4 I would like to use motherboard and not pda because the display will be in dash away from motherboard. "" You can use a motherboard or industrial Android device if you want to wire the sensors directly to the device, instead of sending the readings by wireless."" I didnt know that there are extension boards who can plug sensors and general hardware. Actually I need about 5 analog input 0-5v and uart who all ready boards have build in Any link? I buy Ide soon I am very impressed. The syntax is very close to basic if I understand well. I have buy and the ebook from amazon hope cover and serial communication Last edited: Nov 10, 2013 Upvote 0

KitCarlson Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 11, 2013 #5 B4A is great tool. I do engine management work with AVR mega128 uC, and use BT and Android phone and tablets for the user settings, real time displays and data logging. I am very pleased with performance, much better than notebook and USB dongle for in car work. I took a VB6 app that I developed over a couple years of time, I got an Android version with the major basics working in about 2 weeks. My avatar shows part of my gui for an electronic advance ignition. If you go to my user page, more can be viewed. Upvote 0

Thanks Alexhi.... are these devices capable of standing long hours non-stop Usage.... or they are just some common commercially available hardware? Thanks Upvote 0
