Chris Slinkman replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"The dev boards we got used a Arduino microprocessor. However, i saw Microchip selling 2 boards at google io. At at $70 and $160 each."
Don Merchant replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"Chris- I understand the kits aren't actually available through Google. I should have been more specific. What I was looking for was the name of the manufacturer of the development boards- Arduino, Microchip, etc. Like who made the kit you have?"
Chris Slinkman replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"The kits aren't for sale through google i think. I think they did a limited run for the devs. However there are a number of places that are selling their design. All the tools and source are open and should be on android website."
Don Merchant replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"Chris- What type of kits are they? Do you have any other info on them (website, etc.). I'd like to look at purchasing some."

Linda Goldstein replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"Thank you! That is very helpful. I agree, it would be less ideal to not have the debugging platform active."
Chris Slinkman replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"The accessory api for Android is somewhat non-existant right now. There are various ways around this. The main one is the Square way. Square uses the mic built into the phones to transmit information to the phone.
Currently there are…"
Linda Goldstein replied to Linda Goldstein's discussion apps which require external hardware"Thank you! I will look up those lists. I am still looking for specific app names, so maybe I'll link back here when I ask those mailing lists, if their archives don't give me sufficient material."
