Testing App and robot

Conclusion

        In the future we think It can change wheels to sheave it will can walk on ladder and we think we can change camera to see video in real time and we think it can build smaller body. And write app to control robot real time by hold button. And we think we can add flashlight to make camera can record in the dark place. And we think it can add microphone to hear the sound in the place that we cannot go inside.

Result and Discussion

Result

We can write the android application to control the robot by Bluetooth. Application can control robot to forward and backward and it can increase speed by hold button and it can spin left and spin right to direction that you want. And we equip video camera to record what robot see.

Discussion

We do that project because want to know how to write application and first we want to build it for fun but now we thing it can do anything more than for fun we have equip camera to record the video in the place that human cannot go inside such as under the bed. We have many problem about that project we have a problem about write android app first we use eclipse to write basic application but when write advance program is so hard but we find the program name app inventor we use it to write app because it not want code and easy to understand. Another problem is we try to use ZX Bluetooth module but it not work we go to learn in website it can use Bluestick we buy it in I-NEX website and it work.

Flowchart of arduino code

Methodology of this project

1.   Start to learn about how to write android app

2. Start write basic app with Eclipse

3. Find easier way to write android app

4. Change program from Eclipse to App inventor

5. Learn about how to use app inventor

6. Learn about how to use code to sent something by Bluetooth you want to write it in app inventor by open block editor

7. Buy Bluestick

8. Start write Application 

that can sent number via Bluetooth

9. Develop the Application

10. Find the code for POP-XT to receive number and write it

11. Find the code for POP-XT to make robot move and write it

13. Buy video camera

14. Build the body of robot

15. Paint the body

We Change program from eclipse to use app inventor

We Change program from eclipse to use app inventor because app inventor is easy and not want code .

        How to write android application?

        Use the program App inventor it can use on google chrome you can install it by

 1.Download and install Appinventor Extras setup

        When it finished you go to website   http://beta.appinventor.mit.edu/

        It will like this

It will show

You can select the button and anything to that app

And when you finished write the app you can package it to phone

Basic android application

Now we try to write the android application that is the simple application name AE2013 by use eclips.We learns that by this webside http://www.thaicreate.com/mobile/android.html

And we test that apps by android virtual device manager

And when open that app it show like this picture

Go to borrow board arduino

Now we go to "I NENG" room to borrow arduino board.
We will test it with basic command. It name POP-XT

What we need to write android application

Before we create program on Android have to install the programs that’s very important. So the programs that we state is
1. Android SDK –It provides you the API libraries and develop tools necessary to build, test and debug apps for Android.

2. Eclipse IDE – It’s the all tools that we need to develop and debug it.

3. ADT plugin for Eclipse – It’s a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful integrated environment in which to build Android application.

F.I.L.A of this project

F.I.L.A

F >> We don’t have basic knowledge about created application android.
I >> We study about robot and it make inspiration of idea to build the project.
L >> We use android to develop the professional robot.
A >> -We use android to make a moving robot and use Bluetooth to signal to control robot.
* We Use android with robot to make it easy.

The beginning of project.

   In the beginning my group have interesting about"Android application for control robot or car".And we think together that have 3 ways to make this project.
   1.We can use the radio wave
   2.We can use the bluetooth.
   3.We can use the wireless.
But now we discuss together.And we think we use bluetooth is the best way because it not too hard and mobile phone can sent the bluetooth sure.
   We think we can use arduino board to receive the command of application.And maybe we will use the RC Structure to build robot or use the 2 wheels robot.
