Hey there.
Because I'm not allowed to post in the development part of this forum, I'm just gonna do here.
I am currently trying to build a robot based on the Arduino ADK revision 3. It's working for now, but I wanted to expand it by using the Android Open Accessory Protocol to access the smartphones Wifi and sensor capabilities. The problem I encountered is that the S3 doesn't communicate with my Arduino at all. The Arduino is waiting for a connection even when the smartphone is attached.
It isn't a problem with the Arduino. Other programs to parse usb descriptors are working fine.
Have you any idea what I am doing wrong? Or is it just that the S3 doesn't support accessory development?
If you need any code of my programs just ask.
Thanks

Trying adding a powered USB hub between the adrino and the S3.

i dont think the power is a problem since the s3 starts recharging when connected. but thanks.
i will also post this on another forum thanks for your help
What i am sayimg is to mount the adrino correctly the motherboard of the s3 needs that extra power just like with usb sticks. But i think it would be worth a shot. They are pretty cheap. Well in my area i can get one for about $15.

thanks for your help. in the meantime i found the problem. i activated wifi debugging a while ago and apparently the accessory mode somehow is based on the adb. so i deactivated the accessory mode for usb too. but now its working just fine.

A very interesting question, not thought of that one. I will be interested to see any answers! Quite a lot of USB stuff does work.

no USB dvbt drivers anywhere for Windows mobile I am afraid, perhaps it could be possible to adapt some drive from a device with internal dvbt, but no likely since it sould match the TV chipset in the USB stick and enable communication through USB, also there is the software and front end.
There are other possible solutions tough, I posted in an old thread , don't ask because I do not remember which one but i think it was related to this, so perhaps some search find it.
supposedly there are two devices in development, one is a dvbt bluetooth device and the other is a DAB device

Hi,
how about this device.
bluetooth DTV receiver for Windows Mobiles.
http://pockethacks.com/bluetooth-digital-tv-receiver-for-windows-mobile-devices/
Is there a way to use the USB plug from the hd2 and plug it into a USB hub which in turn you can plug in a keyboard, mouse, or other device with the correct driver. This would open up possibilities for video out, card reader transfers, and many other very useful things. It can communicate with a ps3 and a PC, why wouldn't this work?

THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, DONT POST NEW THREADS!.
this should be posted in general, NOT development.
...and that doesnt mean make a new thread there. just wait for a mod to move this one. and DONT POST HERE AGAIN. please.
thank you....
hi i like cookies
if you used a powered hub (one that gets power from another source besides the phone) then yes it will work with many USB devices such as mice and keyboards, if you boot the phone into UBUNTU.

USB host is a reality for our HD2s but thisa post is in the wrong place, go to the correct place and im sure answers will flow,
usb host was essential during the development of a working linux build, remember the pics Dcordes posted back in may with his hd2 sat in the numerical keypad

I wasn't sure where to post it so I thought here but guess not. My bad for posting in here. :/
True, forgot about Ubuntu.

Hello, I have searched the forums and have been unable to find an answer to my question either here or through Google.
I am trying to figure out whether or not the HTC Evo 3D has the capability to use the Android Open Accessory that was supposed to be added in 2.3.4. Though, even though the phone supports may contain the libraries, the hardware itself may not support it. If some one could help me determine whether or not the phone is capable of connecting to an Arduino board it would help a lot. This is the one feature that I absolutely need to know it has before I purchase it.
Thank you for your time and I apologize if this has already been answered and I was unable to find it.
Android Arduino Board
The hardware can do it, but since the 3D is android v2.3.3, I don't think the libraries are there yet. Once HTC provides an update to v2.3.4 (or we gain perm root for custom roms), you should be "good to go".
Just FYI - the Arduino board acts as a USB Host since Android phones are normally USB devices. That and the software are all that is needed to talk to the board....
Thank you very much for your help.
I do not know why the USB Host bit slipped my mind. After all the board I am using is called Oleg's USB Host Shield. lol
Hello
I bought SGS2 after a long hesitation. I was wondering about buying Motorola Atrix2 due to the Webtop and WebDock.
I wonder if it is possible to port this feature on our SGS2?

I suspect that's going to be a negative. The SGS2 lacks the necessary hardware.
The Atrix can do this because it has little metal contacts on the outside of the device, that enable the communication with external hardware. The SGS2 only has USB.

Moving to Q&A
You can output display via the MHL, or use the USB port, but can't do both at the same time. So not possible to port this exact lapdock.
You have a couple possible options though.
1- output display via MHL and use bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo
2- output display via DLNA and use USB OTG keyboard/mouse combo
To be honest, I'm not even really sure if option 2 is viable or not. I've not tried outputting my display via DLNA at all yet. So I don't know if this works.
connection to a monitor / TV is not a problem. What I want is the ability to run systems based on Linux like on Atrix.

You haven't been so clear about your question.
The Atrix can plug into a webtop, this laptop-like dock, yeah? Then the webtop is running off of software that's actually running on the phone.
This is not and will not be possible with the SGS2 without heavy modification, and I mean heavy...way beyond my skill set and I've taken a few cell phones apart to replace faulty parts.
If you just want to be able to run a Linux ROM...chances are good. Android is Linux based, but I'm guessing you want something a bit more purist, like one of the 'buntu's...I didn't find anything about this on the interwebs, but you should be able to google just as well as I can.
If that was your question, what the hell does that have to do with the webtop/webdock stated in the OP?
I just found something that gives similar possibilities - I have not tested it yet but looks promising - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390351

Your English wasn't the problem, it seems pretty good actually, but in the OP you seemed to be asking about connecting to hardware. That was a little misleading.
No worries.
Ive just ordered a smart dock for my S3 so that I can use it with my TV, wireless air mouse, hard drive and wireless xbox controller.
Now the final thing I want to do is run XBMC for PVR software, but cannot find a definitive answer about a tuner that will work with my S3.
Im a new user so I cant link to the one I have but its ebay item number 200828623654. Its made for an android powered smart box but will it work with the s3 aswell.
Or does anyone know of any that will work.
Cheers
Rich
Have I done something wrong in my post or is it just that nobody knows the answer?
All I can find through loads of google searches are a couple of expensive tuners that only work with their own inbuilt mini aerials and others that will connect to an outdoor aerial via a coax cable but they are made for specific android smart tv boxes.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

Reasons .
Might be better in Accessories .
This is not a f*** fix my phone forum its a developers forum .
As its rather a restricted topic you may need to wait until someone with an answer appears .

Im happy if a mod thinks its appropriate to be moved to accessories.
I am aware it is a developers forum and I was at no point demanding anyone "f***g fix my phone". The use of TV tuners with the Galaxy S3 would be a development of the phone as it is not something that it was initially designed to do and would allow people to make better use of their devices.
I was just making sure that I had not done anything wrong in the way I had posted my question and to make it clear that I had searched around for an answer already for a couple of days myself as I know people get annoyed when noobs post questions without bothering to look for themselves.
Thanks
