This tutorial will show you how to connect your Android to an Arduino through USB and send data in both directions. Prerequisites Android device Arduino (theoritically from any type, but I'll be using Arduino Leonardo) USB OTG (On-The-Go) Standard USB charger of your phone Wiring must be done this way : Phone ↔ OTG ↔ USB ↔ Arduino Android Side I created a short library to establish the communication, you can take a look at…
If you're an Android user, you probably noticed that Android doesn't have its own "Airplay" implemented, which is not convenient if you want to stream your music on your speakers (or home cinema or whatever). So I decided to overcome this problem using my Raspberry Pi ! And today I will share with you my work so you can make your own music server ! Note: musics will be hosted on the Raspberry Pi and Android will…
Hi and welcome for this new tutorial about Dagger 2 for Android ! Dagger 2 Dagger2 is a powerful dependency injection library for Java and Android.

Before you go further I advise you to take a quick look at this video from Jake Warthon which was pretty usefull for me : Youtube Gradle First of…
After some research on the internet I noticed that a lot of tutorials for Node.js were about making a web server, but what about something more ... Android ? For this tutorial you will need Node.js installed on your server and an Android device. Let's go! Node.js multi-client server This little piece of code is only what you need! Some explanations: net.createServer() creates the server (no way) and takes as a parameter a callback function called every time a new client…
Hi everyone! This tutorial will show you how to make a Reverse SSH between two machines!

Reverse SSH There will be two machines here: Reachable (the network configuration: port forwarding etc.. allows you to ssh to it from anywhere) Unreachable (machine with ssh installed, you can't access to it unless you're on the same network) Let's do it! You need to allow package forwarding on…

For…
