    Default Pic to Android

    Ok just watched a few videos on Android and usb to android. Did a quick search and found nothing here. Has anybody connected to android phone or tablet via usb and do you have any code examples (something very simple) that I could look at?

    It depends on what you want to do. If the idea is to use the Android as a terminal for sending / receiving data or a remote display, or a controller for your pic project, I think its far easier to go with the Android's built-in bluetooth, rather than USB. Just use any Bluetooth serial module on the pic side (do a google for 'Linvor' on ebay) and you're ready to go. No software needed on the pic side, besides the usual UART commands; on the ANdroid you could run a terminal emulator like Blueterm or a XML scripted controller like Bluescript, both available on the Market for free.

    USB looks fairly easy if you use the 24f part, microchip has code already made for the 24f part, and android has built in support for this chip. but I will need to buy software for programming the android and the microchip test board setup to play with there goes some more money.

    Ok, now I remember seeing something about this.
    Is this the test board you plan to use?
