Hi everyone!

This is a project I finished recently: A universal Bluetooth remote for android.
I think it will help a lot of people that want to control their Arduino over Bluetooth.

Most controllers I have seen on the Play Store have a fixed layout, so if you wanted a customized remote you had to program it yourself. With my app you can drag and drop UI elements on the screen, change size, color and much more. It has full multitouch and 8 save slots for controller layouts. You can basically control every Arduino project with this.

The app is programmed using Processing for Android, I made the user interface and multitouch handling from scratch in about 1200 lines of code. Only the Bluetooth communication makes use of a library.

The app is not available on the play store, you can find instructions and the download link to the .apk on my blog post:

This looks nice. Thank you for sharing. Once ? was tried modify this code GitHub - trevorshannon/ArduinoColor: A simplified version of the Color Namer app from Katie Dektar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.color.colornamer&hl=en) for demonstrating Android-Arduino communication with RGB LEDs in order to work with bluetooth. But I am just new to coding, Can you include RGB color chooser like this one. This one looks good and easy to select color.

And your link directs "mailto://" you need to fix :wink:

Thanks, the link is fixed.
Bluetooth is very complicated, even with Processing as a development environment.
If you are completely new to Android programming I would recommend you to start with something easy.
I learned a lot from this blog post: http://arduinobasics.blogspot.de/2013/03/arduino-basics-bluetooth-android.html
