3 Demos

3.1 AOA Basic

This demo shows how to send data in both directions between the AOAA Board and the Android

device. The AOAA Board has two buttons; two RGB LEDs and a trimming potentiometer (see Figure

3). The LEDs are controlled from an Android application that will also display the state of the button

and the value of the trimming potentiometer
