Android G1 Serial To Arduino Robot

Step 4 Copy and run the cellbot.py script to launch the Python program

This tutorial uses a Python script to be the "brains" of the robot. Get the latest code from our open source Google Code project. You only need the cellbot.py file but others may help with various things you want to explore. I simply plugged the phone into my PC's USB connection and mounted the drive before copying the file to /sdcard/ase/scripts.

The program creates an open socket connection to accept an incoming telnet session. It also prints the received commands to the screen while sending them out the serial port. Put this file on the phone's SD card in the /ase/scripts/ directory.

Detailed steps to load and run the scripts:
1. Copy the cellbot.py script to the SD card's /ase/scripts/ directory
2. Be sure to dismount the SD card from your PC if you copied them that way since the phone can't access the files at the same time your PC is.
3. Open the Android Scripting Environment app
4. Click on cellbot.py to launch it

You should see a confirmation that the device is ready at this point to accept incoming telnet sessions on port 9002.

Tip: Be sure to run the "chmod 777 /dev/ttyMSM2" command from step #3 first. See step #5 for finding the phone's IP address.
