RIOdroid: RoboRIO + Android USB Communication
I've been working on this for a while and I'm finally to the point where I think it might be useful to other teams. This is still very young and will need a lot of work before it ever becomes really useful.
The basic idea for the project is to be able to use the power of inexpensive Android devices on FRC robots. Android devices are getting faster and cheaper and they include many sensors and also a mature code base to draw from. What has been accomplished so far?
Project Home: RIOdroid on Github What can you currently do?
Most useful thing you can currently do.
Volunteers I'm not much of a programmer (anyone looking at the project can probably tell that) I just do it for FRC. If anyone with experience wants to help work on this please let me know. This is just a side project for me that I think could have some cool applications in the future. Last edited by AllenGregoryIV : 03-01-2016 at 01:01. |

Re: RIOdroid: RoboRIO + Android USB Communication
Sounds cool... I think?
If all you're doing is using it as an interface for displaying information, maybe sending a bit of data, and viewing camera streams, why not just write a smart dashboard client for android? Network tables has java bindings and everything... Please speak up if I'm missing something here... |

Re: RIOdroid: RoboRIO + Android USB Communication
Why would you want the RoboRIO to control the phone? Launching an app during the match doesn't seem like a really key/useful feature. Why not just launch the app once the robot boots? Although it occurs to me that for network tables stuff you'd have to figure out how to connect the android phone to the network... not sure what the rules are about that stuff and if that's even possible.
