Connecting Pi with Arduberry and a phone

Mon Aug 24, 2015 7:50 am

A friend of mine and I want to use Raspberrry pi for a school project. Our idea was to be able to acces the pi from you mobile phone, and in conjunction with a arduberry controll something like a light (probably using an arduino relay shield).

I've looked around the internet to see if I can find things that could help me with this and I stumbled upon the Piui. This seemed like a handy tool since it was easy to connect a phone to the pi in that way, but is it possible to either use the arduino development kit to edit the arduino scripts and use that too change the light on or off, even better would be to automate the raspberry pi to upload a few already existing arduino files to the arduberry when pressing a button on your phone.

hope anyone can help me with this

probably
split your task into several easy steps and do each one

if you can do it on the raspberry then you can control it from something else...

start coding
see what does not work - work out the problem there - continue

Already found out it is easy to connect a relay directly to the raspberry pi, so that will work. We will start this weekend and see where we find any problems.

I thought about using a script to turn the relays on and off maybe in conjunction with the piui scripts?
