AndroPod (1)
Part 1: A serial interface for Android smartphones and tablets
With their high-resolution touchscreens, ample computing power, WLAN support and telephone functions, Android smartphones and tablets are ideal for use as control centres in your own projects. However, up to now it has been rather difficult to connect them to external circuitry. Our AndroPod interface board, which adds a serial TTL port and an RS485 port to the picture, changes this situation.
