Control IL2 from android tablet

[MaxGunz]

I have devices that use USB CDC (Arduino) but am network-illiterate. I need to get some other things done before going back to trying to talk devicelink with that and one of those is bluetooth module.

I have a library that's supposed to let me talk to COM with C++ and have from a member here C++ devicelink code but haven't got the time to sit and work that out -just yet maybe for weeks- and I've seen another possible path using Java. The BT does some Wifi so maybe I will have another alternate route once I get that working.

It just bothers me that CDC can set up a COM port that I can see in a console window and hyperterminal and various standard apps yet can't seem to address in a simple way like I could before XP. It's there. Windows knows it. Why should I need a library at all? I should be able to stream a COM channel that's already set up, directly!

Oh well. I'll climb that hill soon enough.

If you ever want to play with Arduino, let me know. I'll set you up with links, etc, and if I can be any help then I'll do my best there too.

My next priority will be to do the translation in english.

After , to make the application to match any size of screen it's a lot of work and it will take some time. but I will do it.


To make devicelink running is quite simple , you have to add 2 lines in the conf.ini and you have also to know the IP adress of the computer that is running IL2.

Hello

My application to manage IL2 from an android tablet (or smartphone) is now ready.

You can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yzb468bjvpb77n5

If you need information to configure IL2 to allow the communication with an other device , have a look to the file named DeviceLink.txt in your IL2 folder.

Can you post updated screenshots? I'm curious and I don't have a Android tablet I was working on an iPad version but I never really finished

[John'Mad'Doe]

I have updated the pictures.

As you can see it's quite different of your application.

I had plan to add some gauges , but I don't have to much time to do it , so it won't be in this version.

John

cool.

how do you handle the "map" view? Where do you get the map picture from?

[John'Mad'Doe]

For the map , my strategy is that the user does it's own snapshot and places it in a folder on the cloud (I use dropbox for example)

You enter the adress of this snapshot on the first tab (connection)

ok, thanks Will the app be available on Google Play ?

[John'Mad'Doe]

no, I don't have an Android Market account, you have to install the application manually .

You can find the file here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yzb468bjvpb77n5

The simplest way is to send the .apk file that is in the zip as an attachement to your email and read the mail from your tablet.

First of all make sure your Android device can install software outside of Android Market (Settings → Applications and check option labeled Unknown Sources). If you want, you can uncheck it after the installation.

I was just asking for the Google Play to see the number of people who downloaded/bought the app
