About BlueberryE Sniffer
If you use your Arduino© and similar boards to measure e. g. the environment around you and want to display results on your Android devices screen Blueberry Sniffer is for you. Imagine you want to sniff if there is to much CO2 somewhere in your home, you take your Arduino© or similar board read out a CO2 sensor and display the CO2 level on your phones screen while you walk from room to room.
Arduino© is just a placeholder for all sorts of microcontrollers or computers that can communicate through USB.
The basic idea behind it is: use your devices display and battery to complement your project. Instead of using some sort of display just use the display of your phone. Instead of thinking how to power your project use your phones battery.
How to accomplish this? The key is the host mode of the usb interface of your phone. You connect your Arduino© and similar project through a USB cable to the phone. Note: you have to use a USB-OTG cable to tell the phone to go into host mode (make sure you use a device supporting USB hostmode - most newer mid to high end devices do). Once your phone is in host mode it starts to power your project and can receive data that you send from your Arduino© on the serial interface. Of course if your board has several interfaces choose the one that is connected to USB.
Once the connection is established the app requests a description of the data your project can deliver and you have to answer that in a specific JSON format.Once that information is returned to the app you can query data from the app (just one measurement or continous polling for data. The data is displayed and stored on your phone in graphical and tabular form. At the moment there is no functionality to upload the data to somewhere.
Attention: Not all devices support the USB hostmode feature, but most high end and newer mid range phones do, please check if your phone supports USB hostmode und recall you have to use a USB-OTG cable.
Please check BlueberryE Sniffer for further informations including the data exchange protocol.
