Android and Arduino: Take the Physical World Mobile With the Mega ADK

Android and Arduino: Take the Physical World Mobile With the Mega ADK Review

Getting Started with the Arduino Mega ADK is a thorough overview of what is capable with the official Arduino ADK board. It starts with a very brief explanation of what Arduino and Android are in case the reader is picking this subject up for the first time. Once the reader has a solid grasp of what they'll be working with, the book gives a short overview of all the features included in the Arduino board such as: the purpose of specialized pins (such as analog and digital Input/Output).

After the hardware overview, the reader will learn how to prepare their computer to program hardware with the Arduino IDE, Eclipse (or the Android programming IDE of their choice), and installing the SDK to get access to Google's libraries. Finally the reader will build two or three simple projects to experience how Android and Arduino can talk to each other ver the Arduino Mega ADK's USB Host interface. The book finishes with the reader learning how to access the remaining sensors and features (GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, and etc.). When they're done, readers will be able to produce their own polished works of technical art.

Bluetooth Information Exchange Network: An approach to implement an indoor ad hoc multi-hop Bluetooth wireless network

Bluetooth Information Exchange Network: An approach to implement an indoor ad hoc multi-hop Bluetooth wireless network Review

Bluetooth is a low cost and low power wireless technology for connecting portable and / or fixed Bluetooth enabled devices to form short-range wireless ad hoc personal area networks (PANs). As the Bluetooth specification does not specify a protocol to form ad hoc Bluetooth networks, a method for forming an efficient Bluetooth network under a practical networking scenario is still an open research problem. This work introduces an approach to implement an indoor ad hoc Bluetooth wireless network, Bluetooth information exchange network (BIEN). A set of Bluetooth enabled devices are able to spontaneously establish a dynamic multi-hop wireless network using Bluetooth technology without the need of formal network infrastructure. This work is an attempt at implementation of a distributed multi-hop scatternet with an integrated routing in the practical environments, while most of the literature focuses on covering the modelling of it. It intends to demonstrate how Bluetooth technology with Java technology can be used to design, develop and deploy ad hoc wireless networks, and examine how well Bluetooth technology supports ad hoc multi-hop network technology.

Special Publication 800-121 Guide To Bluetooth Security Review

This is a Hard copy of the NIST Special Publication 800-121, Guide To Bluetooth Security. This document discusses Bluetooth technologies and security capabilities in technical detail. This document assumes that the readers have at least some operating system, wireless networking, and security knowledge. Because of the constantly changing nature of the wireless security industry and the threats and vulnerabilities to the technologies, readers are strongly encouraged to take advantage of other resources (including those listed in this document) for more current and detailed information. The following list highlights people with differing roles and responsibilities that might use this document: Government managers (e.g., chief information officers and senior managers) who oversee the use and security of Bluetooth technologies within their organizations Systems engineers and architects who design and implement Bluetooth technologies Auditors, security consultants, and others who perform security assessments of wireless environments Researchers and analysts who are trying to understand the underlying wireless technologies.
