how to connect arduino to processing on smart phone?

Greetings,

I have recently discovered processing program so I am not that good with it yet.

I would like to know if it is possible to receive data from arduino to a smart phone and use that data to processing on the smart phone as well?

It is not much but this is the steps:

Arduino Data ---> Bluetooth ---> phone Bluetooth receives data ---> data on phone is used on mobile processing app ---> image form through data

so my plan will be the arduino data will be sent to the phone through bluetooth, then the processing app will receive the data directly and forms it into an image(like squares circles or arcs).

are all of the steps possible?

thanks,
C

Sounds feasible, does your smart phone run Processing?
Edit:- well Android will not sure about Apple though.

yes. I have an android

You can try it with an On-The-Go adapter; I think most people use it to connect a memory stick to a phone to transfer video/music/pictures. It however can also be used for other purposes (I've used it to control a digital camera (Pentax K5) with a dedicated application).

Problem is that not every phone / tablet supports it. I have a Samsung Tab3 7" and it does not work (they say it works on the bigger version :frowning: ); my wife has a Samsung S4 and it does work with that one.

Installing the Android SDK is going to make the OP's head spin.

I am still loathe to change anything with my Android SDK lest something new breaks something old. It happens in Android land.

I have Android app programing books barely a year old and some of things in it are out of date. Ugh.

If the book is a year old then more than likely it was written two years ago. So yes that will happen.
