Hello Everyone,
I am a Computer Science student at Montana State University, and have taken it upon myself this semester to develop a IOIO based R/C Car controllable by an Android to Android communication platform.
I have recently had a good deal of success with my prototype, and I have decided that it is mature enough that I can share it with this community. Please take a look at my Github repositories and my blog outlining the project details:
http://jimmyblaze.net/
https://github.com/Legomaniac
This is my first major Android project, and I have been learning as I go with this since there is no Android development class available at my University. I realize that some of my code may not be fully up to par with the Android standard, and I am looking forward to gaining input from more experienced developers. It has always been a goal of mine to either start my own open source project or a fork of another, and I believe this is the perfect opportunity to do so.
I think there is great potential in a collection of "shields" for the IOIO similar to the expansion shields that are popular with the Android platform. I have based my project on the concept of a "shield and app combo" that, when refined, could provide a "plug and play" experience in using the IOIO with hobby R/C equipment.
Any input you may have is greatly appreciated!
Sorry for the bump, but perhaps the Youtube video might entice some responses?

In your video you said you still have to get Video streaming to work, well I've seen a video on youtube that shows a robot being controlled by an android phone, I'm sorry I wasn't able to find the video now, but if I find it I will send it to you.
Also I've looked a lot for an open source libraries to allow me video stream but failed to find. If you found any can you tell me please
By the way I'm on my graduation year studying Computer engineering
Hey, thanks for the response!
Yes, I do still intend to get video working, The closest thing I have found to an Android video stream "library" is the following open source app hosted on Google code:
http://code.google.com/p/spydroid-ipcamera/
The thing that is sad about this project is that the developer disable the client portion of the program, citing issues with MediaPlayer and VideoView not being configurable enough. I was hoping to use VideoView to display the stream from the Droid on the car, but if someone who can build an IP camera app can't do it, than it doesn't look very hopeful for me.

This is awesome!
Keep an eye on the Portal...
Did you developed the virtual joysticks or used an existing library?
Regarding the video stream i think is kinda difficult. Are you planning to use an ip camera?.
Its nice that you are doing everything opensource. Cool project
Wow really good project here !
I also own a R/C car ^^
Do you have really instant response from remote to the car ? No lag ?
Do you think it is possible for an Android phone to communicate directly with the R/C car's receiver ?
Thanks a lot for sharing, gonna keep an eye on it
this is epic, great achievement mate!
That's so cool!
And maybe useful...I hope

I've been planning to do this for several months, I have a lot of experience for a college student for radio frequency's, I finally have somewhere to start using these sources, I intend on using an F1 car, modified off course
Very cool. I race R/C cars weekly at my local tracks. This is pretty cool stuff. Resently one of buddies started work on a Android App for recording and reviewing our lap times after a race.
Here is one of my weekly racers:
very nice, I was thinking of doing something like this using a microcontroller and a serial to bluetooth converter, but I think this is even better.
finally some use for the xperia mini xD.
well you could run your app on the background and use any existing video streaming app for the video part.
Not sure if this hardware can help u or not.. We use this now with an Android app to program our speed control wirelessly using the bluetooth.... IPhone used wifi module.

So when are you sending it to Mars
But very cool.. Whats the range on it?
Holy crap! Here I was busy with schoolwork, not checking any of these posts and my video jumps from ~150 to over 7,000 views! Thanks for the awesome front page spot conantroutman!!
I have made quite a bit of progress on this project since I have posted this thread. I have switched the app to a service that runs in the background, and utilized the tools at developer.skype.com to integrate my app with Skype! I have driven it around the halls by the CS offices at my campus quite a few times, successfully piloting it several halls away without being able to see it, so, just with the Skype call.
I will make sure to post my updated video here as soon as I have time to get it together! Right now I have to go to work, but thanks for all the comments! If there are any questions that I haven't answered, sorry about that but I don't quite have time to look at them right now, tomorrow after I get off work I will take a look at what people have been asking and reply to the best of my ability.
Thanks guys! Thanks conantroutman!
To answer the question right above, right now I only have it working over wifi, so it's "range" is the area covered by the wireless network it is connected to. I hope to be able to refine it to a point that it could work over 4G, so it would have the ability to roam where-ever there are cell towers!
The source for the joysticks that I used can be found at the mobile-anarchy Google code page here: http://code.google.com/p/mobile-anarchy-widgets/
So, how does the android on the car interact with the electronics?
It's another phone right? via USB?

It is with a IOIO board from Sparkfun electronics:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10748
The IOIO is an awesome product and the community surrounding it is very inviting and helpful. It is, in my opinion, the best way to have your Android device interact with hardware.

so basically this is just a concept atm and its still a concept that is a work in progress but i was basically just curios as to what the interest would be in a project to bring a more pure music experience to android.
basically i have found that many music players on android are just not to the standard of stand alone players like that from cowon, iriver, microsoft ect...
and this is the only thing that makes me still carry around a standalone player (<3 my S9)
so the Goal with Zunedriod (name may change) was to focus on the user experience and less on the eye candy its a pure music player that will borrow heavily from cowon microsoft ect in terms of features (such as quicklists, on the fly playlist creation ect.) and of course that amazing zuneish UI
unfortunately i am pretty noob to coding so there is a high chance that i will be unable to do this but id still like to assess the interest.
alternatively if interest is high maybe someone who can code would maybe like to become a partner for this project
any way hope you like it and let me know what you think.

It's a nice concept. I like the wp7 style look.
A music player could be quite a big project I think.
I use PowerAmp at the moment and it does most of what I need. Have you tried that?
What features would this app add over that?

im not getting too far ahead of myself because its very very early concept. but unlike power amp it will be pretty LOL!
but it would be nice to get things like music video streaming, lyric support, id3 tag editing (including batch), perhaps even streaming to desktop via say WMP (ie DLNA), custom EQ's.
possibly even make it more of a media center with even video support ect...
yeah it will be a big project its beyond what im capable of atm hence its just an assessment while im still learning code but if some pro coder wants to help out and team up for this than it could become reality faster
cause by myself between uni and learning how to code properly it could be a long way off but im keen on the idea
but id want to learn on a couple smaller projects so maybe you will get your Gtalk widget
Well take a look at my project, maybe you can help
Xda app

haha well I actually don't even want the gtalk widget, was just reading the thread where people were asking about it.
I'm also learning android development, so was considering giving the gtalk widget a go myself. But there doesn't seem to be much in the sdk on gtalkservice, so i'll carry on with my other apps.
I wish I was at the level I could help with your player.
I would love to see a media player app that was closer to the ZuneHD than the WP7. and one of the most important features should be the visualizer of photos and artist,album, and song info.
btw heres a name idea, its really stupid but I thought I would say it anyways.
DZRUONIED....if you look carefully its ZUNE in DROID....
Always loved the Zune/WP7 look for the music player. Gonna pay very close attention to this.
i have my major law case study due in a couple days so once im done with that ill finish and put up the completed concept with all the EQ, browser/ playlist screens ect..
hopefully once the concept is completed it might spark some more interest from people interested in helping with code
also if someone decides to help of course there would be an ongoing monetary reward/incentive once its completed (ie market revenue )
if not like i said im gonna slowly learn over this year so it might become reality......some decade lol
I love my Zune UI.....the visualization is awesome and I want "smart DJ" capability too......
Wish u the best on your project dude....
I would definitely buy/use this music player
Hey guys,
I picked up a Galaxy S2 the other day with emulation in mind because of the huge screen, the power and the weight of the device. I got the phone, rooted it, installed the latest MIUI rom 1.7.8 which is fabulous apart from a few kinks. The phone is really responsive and fast and it was an awesome buy. After playing around with it a bit, i tried out some emulators. I found that games which don't require any reactions were playable on the device, and others which needed fast action were just really tough to play, megaman, sonic and mario for example. I bet your thinking "Mario? Action? lol!" well i mean action as in its slightly fast paced, you need to have 100% accuracy when playing the game for it to be effective and efficient on the device, which for me it was not i kept missing buttons and stuff, more importantly my hand covered the whole of mario so i couldn't see him which was a large downside.
So i decided to get the Wiimote working on the device, which is why in the end i rooted the device and installed MIUI because luckily the bluetooth stack for the rom supports the wiimote which is great. And like all the previous phones i had (Nexus One, Desire, iPhone 4) all have Wiimote support but that is no good for on the go playing, and tbh its only good when you have a stand for the phone and a good chair where you can watch the device while playing using the wiimote over bluetooth.
This in my eyes was not practical enough for playing comfortably, so i looked into something else, and discovered these:

At first glance you think "Thats clever!" and it is clever it gives a solution to having to hold the phone and the wiimote to play. But not being offensive to the creator/designer or anything but they aren't exactly pretty. I tried to make something too but it was a complete fail, it wasn't secure, it looked horrible and it wasn't detachable, so i came up with something better. I was trying to think of a material which was both durable, secure, strong and customisable enough to build a practical solution. Then it hit me: lego.
I present to you, the Galaxy S2 Wiimote Gaming Holder! It's made 100% out of lego (the structure, that is) and connects securely to to wiimote and the phone. The video will tell more.
Here is the link to the full gallery of pictures on my Dropbox account. Theres a total of 33 images to look through.
I hope you guys like this, I can imagine that lots of people would want one of these hehe. If you want one then post and we can sort something out. Theres a few reasons I posted this because I thought you guys would find this interesting and that this can be adapted for other phones as the bass structure is universal to any Wiimote. So there you go. Post comments, suggestions, views and ratings etc i'm eager for feedback
Haha! Classic!
Added the youtube video
how did you manage to pair the wiimote to the galaxy s2? everywhere i look, it says that it doesn't work.

Thats what I thought until i tried MIUI rom. It won't work on the stock roms or other roms based off the stock (thats an educated guess) as the bluetooth stack won't support it. But MIUI does and also CyanogenMOD when the nighties and final get released for this device.
I think the amazing thing here isn't your holder but that you found a way to get the Samsung Galaxy S II working with a Wiimote (no offence to your holder).
I'll have to put a new ROM on my phone so I can use the Classic Controller and the SNES Classic Controller .
Cool man,,,so does this work with all the games?? u know like gameloft's and other games??
I don't think so. But emulators usually allow to map hardware butons so I will be happy just with them
Technically it works with anything that can map hardware buttons, to my knowledge anyway.
have you seen this? hackaday.com/2010/07/29/super-simple-gaming-controller-for-android-or-iphone
it´s already done!
I've never seen that before, but it looks pretty sweet xD. I still prefer mine though. Lego is probably cheaper and much more detachable, and smaller. Nice find though ;p
Actually I was meaning him to give credits to you untill I saw 2010 on the post's date, then edited. Just my fail, sorry

Hehe np
dude...thats awesome!
I think ill make one with plexiglass. I gotta figure out a design now
i think the question is always posed but .. i want to know ... what program you use to play with your wiimote ? many programs on the market say that "newer samsung like SGS or SGS2 don"t work with wiimote"...
thanks !
This one goes out to the hardcore low-level android guys. I bow down to your awesomeness and mystique. I could really use a hand here... I promise I'll pay the knowledge forward!
Details in my StackOverflow post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19462069/challenge-android-display-splitting
Basic goals:
-Intercept Android video output via HDMI, MHL, etc.
-If possible, increase the resolution to 150% of the original width (see why below):
-(See image below) The left half of the external screen needs to adopt the left 3/4 of the chosen output resolution, while the right half needs to adopt the right 3/4 of the chosen output resolution.
Thanks so much guys!

Hmm, this is an interesting one.
I would be surprised (without doing some extremely gnarly low level mucking about with ROMs and perhaps even the devices themselves) if you can send anything out of the HDMI which isn't the output of the screen.
So I guess this leaves you with 2 options
1 - render the desired format on the device itself, so that it can be spat out of the HDMI output (by rendering the video twice, offset)
2 - find some other way to output it
May need a few more details about your environment here.
My guess is that ideally you would like to view the video as-normal on the device, plug your device into a big screen and have it do the strange double image thing (maybe for some 3D type experience?)
Somebody mentioned ffmpeg on your Stackoverflow post which I can confirm is the way to do it if you need to do your own video processing. Typically that's what the various video players on the Play store use.
Be warned that it is non trivial and will involve C/NDK rather than Java.
Even then though, you're probably looking at option (1), since (2) is likely to require some hardware plugged into the external screen I think.
I am wondering, if this is for video, whether you couldn't just play the video twice in 2 VideoViews offset / overlapped as required ?
Doesn't fix your resolution requirement and may have a few problems with speed/syncing but I think worth a try to start with.
An S4 is 1920*1080 so that's not terrible output quality for a big screen.

Good guess It may not need to be an auto-detected swap when plugged in. A gui toggle would suffice.

Good sir,
I really appreciate your well-communicated feedback. By no means was I expecting this to be trivial-- I certainly realize I'm getting into rarely traveled territory here. Your confirmation on ffmpeg concurrence then splitting as the order of feasible operations here would make it seem that you know what you're talking about. As these will be my first shots at this sort of thing, are there perhaps any helpful resources/reference materials you can provide me with?
You have my sincere thanks,
-omni
No problem, replied to your PM.
It may be that you'll end up needing an ffmpeg expert (which I'm definitely not!) however I've sent you some stuff to get the ball rolling - let me know if it arrives. Good luck!

For the sake of the public knowledge, when the path forward is clear I'll be summarizing the thought process in this thread!
Huge thanks to this awesome guy
So just a follow-up for any curious readers. I settled on two custom VideoViews (overriding onMeasure()) in a relativelayout. They both play the same movie and I mute one of them. Directly after the CustomVideoView.start() calls for both, I call seekTo(0) to sync them up. If it turns out that they get unsynced over time, I could always have a Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate task that syncs them up every so often using seekTo. There may be better ways, and I'll certainly be improving upon this in the future. Huge thanks to @PicomatStudios for the initial ideas I got many kudos from my bosses and I owe them largely to him!

HTC Creative Labs Welcomes You to Zoe (Beta) -- Life, Remixed
HTC is filled with talented, creative and passionate people who are empowered to imagine how they can make your life easier, richer and simply more beautiful. Just hold an HTC One in your hand for a few moments, and you’re instantly reminded of how good it feels to know that the team behind all that goodness is constantly working on more ways to surprise you.
Today, we are very excited to announce the formation of HTC Creative Labs, HTC’s internal innovation engine, along with the release of a brand new application for Android 4.4 users called Zoe–a beautifully designed, collaborative video editing application that lets you create, share and remix professional-quality highlight videos with your friends.

New group and new Android app? Where did this come from?
HTC Creative Labs is the team behind some of HTC’s most significant product design work, including the Sense 6 user experience with gesture control, BlinkFeed and more. This cross-functional, cross-cultural group, with team members in Seattle, San Francisco and Taipei, is responsible for crafting the user experience across HTC’s entire product portfolio.
One of HTC Creative Labs’ most beloved innovations for the HTC One (M7) was Video Highlights. We quickly noticed that people often used Video Highlights to capture and share group experiences at family gatherings, music festivals, sporting events and more. With your feedback, and a large dose of inspiration, HTC Creative Labs reimagined Video Highlights into a cross-device platform for sharing and remixing great experiences with your friends.
How does Zoe work?
Let’s say you went to a music festival, like Coachella, with your friends, and you took some great photos and videos. With Zoe and a few simple taps, you can easily create a slick highlight video that has a theme and a mood-setting soundtrack of your choice, then share it with your friends in the Zoe community. Even more importantly, now you and your friends can access each others’ highlight videos, then remix and share them, just as easily as the first time you created a Zoe.
A community effort.
The truly collaborative nature of Zoe makes this the perfect time to invite you to help us make it better. Anyone using devices from HTC, Samsung and LG (including the Nexus 5) running Android 4.4 or later can go to Google Play, download the Zoe public beta and start creating with it now.
Please note that Zoe (Beta) is pre-release software. If you’re not comfortable running into bugs and the inevitable hiccups that come with early software, we strongly suggest waiting for Zoe to reach version 1.0 later this year.
We are absolutely committed to improving the experience over time, with the community as an active partner in making Zoe great, and we can’t wait to start getting real-time feedback from the community throughout the summer. Over the coming weeks and months, we'll tell you more about our plans for HTC Creative Labs and Zoe 1.0, including some blow-away new features and integrations. Please stay tuned!
In the meantime, check out an early look at what we’re building by visiting zoe.com to download the app. We can’t wait to see all of the great ways you’ll create, share and remix life’s most precious moments.
Just got the update.

TX for the link, works!
Thanks for the heads-up. Downloaded and now it's time to play.
pants
I think we killed Zoe
Edit: It's back!!!
On xperia z2 i can only use the clean theme :,(
The 15 mb version is without all the themes. The version from google store is 63 mb. Haven't found it anywhere.
It doesn't work on my Asus Tf 101, even if i copy the files in Android/data/ & Android/obb/.
I can start the app, but as soon as i want to create a Zoe it crashes. I have noticed, before it crashes it is checking to the internet, because if you disable Wifi it will ask for it.

But at the other side, it works on my HTC Desire S, with only the Android/obb/ file and the apk from here.
Both are running Android 4.4 and are logged in with the same account...

If the play store says it's incompatible, it's probably incompatible. It's a beta; I'm sure other devices will be supported in due course.

I guess you could say, if it says incompatible, its probably untested...
Or it just work only with snapdragon processors as good as I remember the Asus has Tegra right?
Asus has Tegra, thats true. Could be the reason.
I think only time will tell.
I FEEL SO LUCKY TO KNOW THIS APP
Hello everyone, today I'm going to tell you a funny story that happened to me. Yesterday, I invited my friends to come and gather. After eating and drinking, we planned to sit and watch a great movie. The problem started when I couldn't find the TV remote. I rummaged everywhere in the house, but I couldn’t find where in the world it was. To be honest, I felt so useless and shy at that time because I kept everyone waiting. I went hurriedly online to find a solution, then I found REMOTE CONTROL on CH Play. With a few simple steps, I was able to connect to the TV, and we could watch movies again. What a bless! Without the help of Remote Control, I don't know where I can hide my face.

Remote Control also supports connecting many TV brands: Samsung, Sony, LG, Toshiba, Phillips…very quickly. Besides, it arranges the location of connected devices in a reasonable interface from the living room to the bedroom. Such a convenient app! The way you use it is easy as pie, I guarantee anyone can use it because this app supports users to configure settings with the most convenience.
Remote Control is the most versatile and useful app on my phone. With this all-in-one mobile application, you guys don't have to worry about finding the remote like in my case. Just download it for free and connect Remote Control with devices in your house, tRemote Control will take care of the rest your job! Oh, by the way here is the QR and link: https://bit.ly/3G0NOXP

@n0j0e This is a legit thread on XDA and no spam. The download link for the application - you're right it's hidden behind an URL Shortener - refers to a free application on Google Play Store. The used URL shortener is not a pay-per-click, pay-per-view or pay-per-whatever shortener i.e. the use of bit.ly on XDA is allowed. There's no violation of any forum rule.
However, I've removed the link from your post, by which you intended to show your personal preferences. To promote a different application in a thread that presents an application is considered disrespectful towards the threadowner. I suggest to consider to only report posts or threads, from which you think they violate the rules, but not to publicly post your "concerns" in the thread. Thanks for your cooperation!

Ok maybe a little harsh from me to call it spam, sry! But i didn't understand why it is disrespectful if someone suggest another app with same theme to give maybe a better alternative of this app?

I don't think so. The lame canned intro story gave it away IMHO.
If I invite friends to my house and I don't find the remote, they better all help me find the damn remote. If all else fails, we talk and forget about the TV. What I mean is that the whole created situation is as fake as it gets.

Reminds me of the stolen phone "help unlock this phone" threads with the long winded stories of bs ie my dead mom's, uncle's, brother's etc with a lifetime of family photos etc, etc. Long winded meaningless stories is the hallmark of a lot of BSers. They seem to think that adding words adds credibility... it tends to just pi$$ me off instead though. Philly fast talkers, confidence men. Seen them and played with them in the flesh.
Not saying it is, but the OP should stick to the facts. I thought it smelled like spam too
I blew it off because the intro sounded like a come on... and I got bored. OP, word; K-I-S-S.
