Last time we did a project to connect Arduino to Android https://github.com/targist/ardui, since we were asked about if its possible to do the communication from a web ui, we decided to do a second video to show how it can be done from a web application. Hope you enjoy it and looking forward to your feedback.


hello guys, since we were asked if we can make the same setup using a web interface instead of arduino we made a followup video to show how it can be done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMjaNd2pjr4

hope you enjoy it


Thanks! We were thinking of using BLE instead of Serial wire in upcoming versions. but your suggestion looks interesting too.

there is only one part that needs adaptation which is send/receive bytes. So we will think about your suggestion.

Thanks again!


Sure will have a look. Thanks!


Looks interesting. will definitely have a look. Protobuf was offering JS binding too which helped us to develop a nodejs app doing the same from a computer connected to Arduino via the Serial.

Please see: https://github.com/targist/ardui#web-interface


Johnny-Five (http://johnny-five.io/api/) uses Firmata -- There's a JS binding (https://github.com/firmata/firmata.js/)

I am starting to worry that this whole ecosystem is stagnating though...


For me this interesting if i m interested in sending behavior to Arduino, but lets take the following scenario, sending the commands is too slow for your need and all you need is to remote control your Arduino, then in this case you can follow the same design, redefine new messages in Protobuf and a way of reacting to them in Arduino, apart from this Firmata seems much mature.


Thank you very much @catchmeifyoucan for your support!

Indeed there is a nodejs app for uploading programs already from a computer connected to Arduino via Serial. It is not supporting logs display yet as it just log the messages to console currently but we have created an issue for that and looks like it should be prioritized ;)

issue link: https://github.com/targist/ardui/issues/14

the documentation for using the nodejs app: https://github.com/targist/ardui#web-interface


thank you very much for the tip @peterburkimsher, will definitely do


Did a small project for connecting Arduino and Android, if you are more a video fun you can find a small explanation here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGjHHh4m1q0
