Accessory Demo 2.3.x Plugin

About: Accessory Demo 2.3.x Plugin

This demo provides a simple example on how to interface from an Android device to an accessory using the Open Accessory framework added in v2.3.4 and v3.1 versions of the Android OS. The demo controls 8 LEDs on the board by touching the LED pictures on the screen, indicates the push button status of the board, and provides a percentage indication of the potentiometer. This demo also only shows how to use the host mode accessory implementation using the API10 com.android.future.usb library. This version works only for v2.3.x devices (API10).

The firmware, documentation, and additional information are available at www.microchip.com/android.
