Android xbee communication

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello everybody, I’m looking about wireless communication between android and arduino.. Mostly I find projects where there is a Bluetooth communication between these two.. However I can’t find anything about communicating an android device with arduino using our wireless home network… At the same time I came through some projects where an iPhone could connect to an xbee and achieve communication with arduino using the wireless home network without the need of extra boards etc.. So if I understand well, there is no other way of an android device to communicate with an arduino using our wireless network except if make use of the IOIO for android board?

Thanks for your Help :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

When you say "wireless home network" are you referring to XBee or WiFi?

Sorry, you’re right I mean xBee.. IPHONE+TOUCHOSC+PROCESSING+XBEE+PINGUINOPIC - YouTube .. Can somebody explain to me this video, how the whole thing works and if the same can be done using an Android device ..

iPhones don't have the ability to communicate with an XBee by itself, so it has to be communicating with another device that is connected to the XBee, probably though WiFi.

I made a search and that's what i think happens, iPhone(using TOUCHOSC app) sends through WiFi signals(data) to PC(uses processing software).. Those data are then transferred to the xBee transmitter(connected to PC) module and then are sent to the xBee receiver(on car)...
