Laboratory Guide 1: Arduino Android Link

1. Objectives
1. Analyze and apply the Arduino USB-based link capability
2. Understand and employ an Android smartphone USB port to communicate with an
Arduino board
3. Transmit data from the Arduino board to the smartphone and vice versa

2. Scenario
This is a project related with real time monitoring of any activity and it is based in the
sensing capabilities of the Arduino breadboard and the communications capabilities of a
smartphone. This combination provides with an infrastructure for carrying out the real
time monitoring that is the objective of the activities of this laboratory session.
