Arduino UNO + USB Host + Android 4 Tablet

Projects General Guidance

Hey, I have an arduino UNO with a sparkfun USB Host shield. I want to control my android tablet from the arduino sketch.

Is it possible? I tried connecting the USB Host to the Tablet (Mini-usb to usb 2.0) but it did not work.

I'm triing to use microbridge ADB.

Thanks

Control ? How ? What do you want to do ? The tablet controlling the Arduino is often done, but you want to control the tablet with the Arduino :astonished:
Like a mouse and keyboard ? Just connect an Arduino Leonardo to the tablet.

yes, basically i want to send variables from the sketch to an android app

What's better, ADK or ADB?

There are apps that use bluetooth.

The Arduino emulating an keyboard will not send the data to the app.
Or via the serial port, then you would have to include the driver for the serial port in your app.

I know almost no knowledge bout the ADB bridge or using the Mega ADK and Android. Sorry. Let's hope someone else replies...
