TinyAccessory — a simplified example of an Android Arduino Uno accessory

As the readme states:

TinyAccessory is stripped down and lightly modified from the original 'demokit'/'DemoKit' example available from Google.

The Android application and Arduino Uno (or similar) sketch work together to provide a single instance of various types of inputs & outputs.

They are:

• Analog input
• Digital input
• PWM ("analog") output
• Digital output

The purpose of this is to make it easier to follow how things fit together and provide an out-of-the-box working example for the Uno.

If you can install debug signed APK files on your device you might be able to install this: TinyAccessory.apk
