Hello all,

Just starting on a new project and hope someone can help with a decent starting point.

The project will have an Android phone with some sliders, push buttons and status indicators. Associated data will be sent via bluetooth to a dsPIC which will control PWMs and digital outputs. A timer on the phone will periodically fetch status from the dsPIC to update display indicators.

Not fussed at all about the hardware or the dsPIC programming, but I am hoping to find a decent tutorial about starting Android development (Java or C will be fine), and an example project that has full source code, and associated builder resources to allow a simple GUI to be constructed.

There seem to be plenty of similar projects on the 'net, but most only seem to provide pre-compiled applications for the phone. A decent tutorial and associated full development source code is really what I am looking for.

Pointers to any appropriate projects will be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
