Thanks for the quick reply! I've pushed the sketch provided to my Arduino Leonardo and installed the apk on my Nexus 7. I'm about to wire this up and test it.

Got it to work!

One question - how exactly does the hold function work? It seems that it performs the onclick task before it can read the hold. For example, if I have onclick set to play next song, an onhold to play the previous, holding the button will first go to the next song, and then back to the same one that was playing.

Identified an issue - I'm running Timur's USBROM on my 2012 Nexus 7. When then tablet is woken from sleep (with ignition), the controls do not work. I have to go into Remote Inputs Manager settings and select my USB device from the list. Any solution to this?

if you use a bluetooth module you will not have this issue.. they are 9.00$ amazon hc-06. when your tablet boots up it will auto connect no problems. @_crue_ is a good guy he helped me step by step make sure to thank him.........

Amazing idea!
its possible make a new version with support arduino chinese (ch340). I try install a new kernel with support for arduino nano v3, worksfine on terminal, but the app do not recognize.

check github. com / mik3y/usb-serial-for-android

from this page(http://www.jvde.net/node/7) i've found the pinout of mini jack:
values.jpg


So i've 3 wires. In witch PINs of the arduino (i've UNO) i must connet this wires?

Sorry but i'm new to arduino

Not set variables in Tasker

Hello! Please help!
Not working! Variables In Tasker not set!
Write in Serial <temp:500> every 2 second.
In app all work - value correct show and action working.
In tasker intent org.kangaroo.rim.action.ACTION_DATA_RECEIVE working, but variables not set!
Widget from this thread also work!
carpc. ru/showthread.php?t=21272

A1: Variable Set [ Name:%Temp To:%org.kangaroo.rim.device.EXTRA_ARGS Do Maths:eek:ff Append:eek:ff ]

Why not working tasker? ? Allow external action is ON!

Hi everyone.. Thanks for the great work on this..

I have a question regarding how to do this.
- I have bought the Arduino uno board, and would like to hear if it is necessary to use resistors? What purpose does this have?

Can I just follow the diagram on the first page to get uno up and running?

Thank you for your help.

I've upgraded by Nexus 7 2013 to 5.1.1 (build number LMY48T). I am no longer able to link a button to a Tasker task. It has been this way for the last 2 or 3 Lollipop builds. Is there a quick fix, and if not, is there something I can do to help troubleshoot?

Thanks

Hello,
I don't know if the developper of this app is still reading here. It would be nice if you can update your android app so that it would work with arduino uno or the sparkfun clones.
These devices need some initialisation. These Arduinos use the DTR line to determine serial channel readiness. In your Android code, call setDTR(true);
Check here: https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial...ro-or-other-arduino-and-if-serial-doesnt-work
The best option imho would be to set the app opensource as mentioned by other users already.
Thanks

First of all I'm sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate.

Is this topic still receiving help?

I installed the "RemoteInputsMgr-1.3.2" App on my Android 4.4.4 KitKat tablet, the App opens normally but does not recognize my Arduino Nano (Atmega 328P) via USB.

I compiled the code in Arduino and it works, the tablet receives the values, I realized this through another USB serial reader.

Can anyone help me, you know why the App does not recognize the Arduino?

From now on I am grateful.

Unfortunately, the author has not updated the program for a long time and I had problems with bluetooth auto-connection. So I had to write my own program, but with similar functionality, free and open-source: github.com/delletenebre/SerialManager2

    I'm grad :) to release my app for managing remote control of a steering wheel.
    solution based on arduino and my own app for Nexus 7 tablet. (sure it could be used any where else)

    I'm used Arduino mini (not the best option, but this is what I had). and Arduino usb adapter (for serial communication)
    Mini05_front_450px.jpg
    USBSerial_Front450px.jpg


    Arduino diagram:

    R1 - could lower than 50kOm, but not bigger (if used on-board power)
    R1 - should be bigger than max resistor in buttons set.
    I've used ~47kOm

    sketch for arduino based on carlynorama / Arduino-Library-Button
    you can find sketch in attachmanets
    also as RemoteInputsMgr app.

    App is very simple in usage
    very option for selecting usb device (in case if you have more than one usb serial adapter )

    App supports running applications, changing volume, control media, running Tasker tasks.
    Support click and hold actions then could be set individually for each button.



    requiremens:
    • min Android version 4.2.2
    • usb host mode or Bluetooth
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    if you have a problems with app, try to install Usb serial monitor and check is there any messages in Serial,
    my app uses the same lib

    master device configuration:
    //AT+ROLE=1 - master
    //AT+CMODE=1 - connect to all device (or yse could use 0 with BAT+BIND=mac,of,you,device)
    //AT+SENM=3,0 - allow to connect to tablet after pair even table if hidden
    //AT+IAC=9e8b33 - stay visible

    device init code for arduino:
    PHP: 
    void setup()
{
  pinMode(KPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(SPin, INPUT);  
  
  Serial.begin(115200);  
  while (!Serial);

  Serial.flush();
  delay(1000);
  Serial.print("AT+INQ\r\n");
  Serial.flush();
  digitalWrite(KPin, LOW);
}

    I would do it if i could. But one of them is a rfduino isolated in the steering wheel connected via bluetooth (havent tested yet but i hope it works) and for the buttons in the middleconsole i would want to use a arduino micro connected via usb.
    So it would really help me out to be able to use two at the same time :)

    I will looks if I could get it easy to work in the same time. At least bluetooth and usb, but I don't promise anything.
