Blynk is a platform that has iOS and Android apps that can be designed in minutes to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and similar microboards over the internet. Blynk is sort of a prototyping board ...

However, as the video above shows, you can also create your own simple apps for your Arduino project using MIT App Inventor.

There's more to Android than just hacking that app or operating system, says Google. You'll soon be able to hack Android hardware too, thanks to a new Arduino-based platform.

An Arduino micro measures the weight on the load cell, and with the known densities of gin, vermouth, and Kahlua, [Tony] can get a very good idea of how much liquid is in the cocktail shaker.

App Inventor — a Google cast-out that is now maintained by MIT — is a graphical tool that unlocks the power of an Android handset to those with the most basic of programming understanding.

The hack allows for a one-direction, low-bandwidth connection between an Arduino board and Android phone (you’ll need one that has an electronic compass). Using a one-meter-by-one-centimeter copper ...

Arduino makes a series of low cost, barebones, open-source hardware and software designed for students, artists, hackers, or pretty much anyone with a little technical know-how to build their own ...

Using a one-meter-by-one-centimeter copper cable, the Android app Tricorder, and a 120-ohm resistor, Joe made a coil from all the copper wire, which then connected to the arduino via the resistor ...
