Galileo send/recieve data

[idata]

I am wondering if there is a way i could easily send and receive data to my Galileo from an app that can be made in android studio

what protocol should i use

i want to be able to control pins on my Galileo from a button press on the app. i would also like to receive data such as temp. to display on my app

"My best" in terms of less required hardware and software (not even an Android App):

a) Connect your Intel Galileo to an Ethernet wireless router (all I have seen so far have at least 1 Ethernet port -RJ45- to plug in an Ethernet cable)

b) Set a fixed IP in the Intel Galileo

c) A sketch web server (such as those at ) provide a web interface, including buttons

that's it... open a browser in your Android device and use the web server... This is the way in which I've made several small projects such as those at http://fernando.bl.ee/embed-rt/index.html ftinetti - Real-Time & Embedded Systems, specifically those described as

"Arduino Car - A few changes to the web interface: https://youtu.be/6Q_HGJtL8ik cell phone and https://youtu.be/fmaWKgfK56k tablet control (identical web access for mobile and nonmobile devices)"

If you really need to develop a specific Android App, I think among the most simple would be:

a) Connect a bluetooth module to an Intel Galileo (Rx-Tx are handy for this, because they are not used for programming and for the Monitor, as in Arduino)

b) Use a sketch for handling everything recived by the bluetooth module

c) Develop your own Android App with user interface (including buttons) and using the Android bluetooth for Intel Galileo communication.

Edit: maybe is worth mentioning another option: use the Intel Galileo as in the first case ("My best") and program an Android App using sockets for communicating with Intel Galileo.

HTH,

Fernando.

Hello JimmyIsTheBoss,

Do you have any updates about this?-Peter.
