Android: Communication with host computer
- by dannyn382
I am looking for ideas as to how all of you can think to solve this issue. I am going to be using an Android Tablet as basically a touch screen input for a project. I need to be able to control servos and solenoids and such, so I will be using a Raspberry Pi to do this. I am looking for ideas on how to get the tablet and the Raspberry Pi to talk. Here are a few that I have though of so far.
Use Wifi (which I really do not want to, Ethernet would be okay) to ssh into the Raspberry Pi (with an external library) and run scripts that way from the Android app.
Use a com port for Android (maybe Andropod if there hardware becomes available?) and run scripts on the Raspberry Pi.
Those are probably two of the "best" ideas that I can think of for now.
Can anyone think of any other "better" ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Dan
