Photbucket still sucks but I have my photos...well most of tthem...

I updated the Post where I assemble the unit. Photos are comming back...slowly

Photobucket sucks!

Recently as you may noticed, Photobucket changed from a free site to a payed one. I dont have a problem with this, however my problem is that I cannot download my pictures because apparently I get an error message saying something went wrong...

Well I wont pay the 500 a year...so the hell with it. I might try to figure this out at a later date, however I am stuck for now...

See ya all

Android Source Code

Many people are asking about the Android source code. The reason I haven't tried to give it public until now is that the source code was...and still is a mess! However, I think this project is not complete without the Android code.

1. The applications however are programmed using Android Processing v2. That means you have to have the Android SDK installed, Android Processing 

I am not going though how you are going to use Processing in Android Mode, since there is a lot of info on the web.

2. You will need is the Ketai Bluetotth Library, in order to use it to connect to the HC-05.

3. Make sure you select the following  Sketch Permissions in Processing:

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
BLUETOOTH
BLUETOOTH_ADMIN

4. In the Project folder of your Processing project, create a folder called data and put the contents of this .rar file there. These are fonts and an image used in the Application.

5. Make sure you enable USB Debugging in your Android device.

6. Finally you can use this image files in the root of the project folder (not in data, the one before), so when the application gets installed in the device

So lets get down to business. Copy this code into Processing and hit Run. If you did everything as you should, you will have a working application that communicates with the Arduino in no-time!

Second code snippet is for the Bluetooth Gauge version.

Good luck.

Installing it on the boat!

I managed to install it on the boat today! I haven't finished with hiding the cables because I have to do some other things as well.

What I managed to do is take some pictures of where the flow meter is installed. I removed the Both switch.

The negative (brown) cable is connected to ground.  In this setup I am connecting it to the negative of one battery. 

Firstly I connected the positive wire (blue cable) to the COM port of the BOTH Switch (1,2,Both Battery switch) so that it always runs when there is current flowing to the engine.

The sensor must be installed according to the flow that is usually writen on the sensor. Most sensors support only one direction.

Take notice of the angles the flow sensor supports and install accordingly. 

Here is another pictures of where the device is. I will eventually mount it somewhere else, you can find the correct place for your setup.

When I will have some spare time again, I will show you the tidying up I am hopefully going to do.
