Android Question USB to Serial programming guide

[Pradeepdissa1976]

Dear all members,

I am new to B4A (have done only very few B4A programs). I am working on a project to control my Hydrophonic system by using an Android phone and PIC Micro controller. I choose to implement the communication between these via RS232.

I have OTG cable and FT232 USB to Serial converter.

Please help me to start this project step by step. (I can workout the PIC MCU part) Only problem is with Android USB to serial port programming. I don't know how to start.

you help is much appreciated.
