Android 2.1 - Accelerometer via bluetooth

This is preview of my first Android app (made with App Inventor) - it is sending Accelerometer data via Bluetooth to my computer. I am using this data to move the ball in very first alpha version of my game. Enjoy :)

Oh oh, you can download App Inventor project here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P9D5LNCP

Excuse me, how do you get the information? Did you use a microcontroller as bridge? or Did you make a program?

@Praskauer I send the data directly from Android phone to the program on the PC. That is all. Oh and I used Bluesoleil program to handle bluetooth connection for me and make Bluetooth -> COM conversion.

@doonay21 Does your device has the Bluetooth Serial Port (SSP) Service? Which phone are you using? Do you know if it's possible to have this service in any device? Thanks for answering.

[doonay21]

@Praskauer Um no I don't think so. I used Motorola Flipout and Samsung Gallaxy Spica (I5700). I don't know what service does Android use to send this data, I know that Bluesoleil on the PC converted this data straight to the serial port.

Hey, you can use your program with an board arduino bluetooth? to control a remote control car? thank you;

[doonay21]

@pedroaaugusto22 I never used arduino boards, so I have no idea if it would work. On the other hand if you can pair Android phone with arduino board then it all should be working.
