DRT USB Arduino remote control

About DRT USB Arduino remote control Android App

Remote control app for Arduino Detection Response Task (DRT).

More information, videos and source code of the app available via http://www.lfe.mw.tum.de/drt-rc

This app is useful if you have:
* an Arduino DRT ( http://www.lfe.mw.tum.de/arduino-drt )
* an USB OTG adaptor
* an USB OTG capable device

Maybe, it can be also usefull to control your own Arduino project.


It is important to note and understand, that the app is (at the moment) a remote control and status display for the Arduino DRT setup: Therefore, no experimental data are stored in the app on the phone.
The data are stored on the Arduino DRT SD-card or transmitted via Ethernet e.g., to a driving simulator.

The remote control app has four main screens:
* Report: It is a kind of log. You see the last 100 raw lines (automatic scroll) of events on the USB connection and on the serial line from the Arduino.
* Control: On this screen, commands can be send to the Arduino DRT device. E.g., start/stop. Or switch stimulus on, when no experiment is running to test the setup. Experimental conditions can be also labeled with markers. E.g., send marker '1' to tag that the subjects is now in situation '1'.
The plain Arduino DRT project includes a measurement procedure to measure some data from the vibration tactor (via Back Electromotive Force, BEMF). This can also be triggered with a button (see video below).
The results are than visible in the 'Report' view. A free text field provides the possibility to send other or your own commands.
* config myView: Let you configure how and what you want to see of the status messages from the Arduino. The data items can be shown on your individualy configured myView and/or in screen pop-ups (toasts).
* myView: Is your individual configured data view to observer the status during an experiment

Note: The benefit that the Arduino is powered from the phones battery has the drawback that the state of charge can quickly decrease. Some high current motors maybe can not even be powered via USB OTG.
