How to Program an Arduino on Android

Hi everyone,

This is my first instructable.

Today I will show you how to upload codes to Arduino board using Android. There is a free software available called ArduinoDroid. It is very simple. So, let's get started.

We only need 4 things:-

1. Any Arduino board with a programmer.

2. A OTG cable

3. A USB cable compatible with the Arduino board

4. Most importantly a Android device.

A fairly simple step, open play store and search for ArduinoDroid and install. Due to certain reasons you could not then click this link: https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j...

Now get ready with the cables and Arduino board. We are actually going to upload a code...yeah.

Take the OTG cable and connect it to your Android device. Take the USB cable and connect it to the OTG cable and Arduino board. Open the ArduinoDroid app on your Android device.

Type your code to make things happen with Arduino. Typing a code is very similar to that of the Arduino IDE in a computer. Save your code frequently as many people say that it sometimes crashes. You will gain experience as you use the app.

As the app is still in beta version it is very problematic to upload codes to your Arduino. So I still program my Arduinos using laptop.

I hope you got an idea of how to upload codes to Arduino board using Android device.
