Description:
Want to use your Android Phone in your next project?
This is the Android IOIO designed by Ytai Ben-Tsvi, and Aaron Weiss at Sparkfun Electronics. The board connects to an Android Phone using a standard USB cable or using bluetooth (with an additional bluetooth adapter), and allows the developer to create Java Apps on their phone to interface with external hardware.

This board uses a PIC24FJ256DA206 to act as a host to your Android Phone. The user creates an app on the phone to send commands to the IOIO which the PIC interprets to control its I/O pins as well as all the peripherals (PWM, A/D, USART, I2C, SPI, etc). This means there is no need to ever have to program the PIC. All of the IOIO functionality is controlled by a simple app-level library. Now you can get all the power of a smart phone and an embedded micro together!
