Easy Android App

06 Dec 2014

Hi, I've just started an open source project aimed at mbed and other small faceless embedded systems. It is called Remote LCD and is a protocol and an Android App that displays a virtual LCD that can be controlled across a network by the mbed platforms. An mbed can send the text to display on the Remote LCD. In addition the app sends touches on the LCD back to the controller. This allows the mbed to display a menu system, which gives control of the mbed remotely from an Android device. These are essentially custom text-based Android Apps written on the mbed platform and are thus easy to write.

Please check out the project site at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rlcd

Or check out the 1 minute video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avtOC9NQZIE

The source code is already available and it would be great to have an mbed RLCD client example if anyone would like to try out RLCD and submit some code.

Thanks much, Andrew

This is excellent! Perhaps this calls for a rlcd service? I'd love to create a demo around it; but it would need to wait until I have some free time.

Thanks! Would love to see what you come up with. I am also very busy this week, but will be trying to collect some of the demo code into more of a library soon.

Thanks again, Andrew
