Vector Android 2.3.5 code#
Only the Nexus One (Gingerbread 2.3.4) has been tested with the code I'm supplying, but it should work with little to no modifications on a stock up-to-date Nexus S and possibly also Android 3.1 tablets.
I worked from 7pm to about 5am, though I probably could have done it in 2-4 hours if I had an Instructable like this to start with - being my first ever Android project, much of that time was reading! I'd never written a real-world Android app before (not that this is very real-world yet.), but I was convinced that it couldn't be too hard. The goal was set: I had one night to make this from scratch, hardware and software. A little while after I got home from Google I/O I found the maze at my parents’ house and shortly thereafter I discovered I had everything I needed to make my very own Googley maze controlled by my Nexus One. So continuing with my story: I grew up with a ball maze, my parents had one as far back as I can remember. This Instructable is kind of two instructables in one: first, I'll be illustrating the steps required to set up the ADK from scratch and then I'll be reproducing Google's ball maze on a Nexus One phone to demonstrate a simple use of the ADK board (I'll keep the massive bowling-ball version for another Instructable). To introduce the concept to the Google’s keynote speech they produced a regular ball maze toy, familiar to many, which was controlled by a Motorola Xoom tablet.
It's called the Android Open Accessory platform, and it's totally cool. ADK is the Accessory Development Kit, an Arduino-based interface board whereby you can connect your compatible Android device (2.3.4 and any device from 3.1 onwards) to virtually any hardware and use the phone to control a device, or vice-versa. I attended Google I/O 2011 and managed to get my hands on an Android ADK demo board. If you're reading this article you're probably like me: I go through phases where I get so engrossed in a project (which most others would see as trivial), so focused on the goal that sleep and food are afterthoughts, I put my body through a gauntlet to appease some primitive urge of mine to CREATE.
