This paper presents the use of IOIO and Android devices in mechatronics design projects. Mobile devices such as smartphone and tablets become very popular gadgets for the consumers in recent years. There is a need for these mobile devices to communicate with other peripherals and embedded systems through the use of microcontroller (MCU) to further extend their use. Some current MCU architectures such as ARM9, Renasas RX, Intel8051, Atmel microchip, PIC32, 68HC12, NI Single-Board Rio, Arduino, Netduino, and BASIC Stamp are known not work very well with these mobile devices. The latest hi-tech low-cost IOIO MCU, however, has demonstrated excellent capability to control peripheral devices or embedded systems via Android compatible mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) through a custom-made Android application. The IOIO provides robust connectivity to Android devices via a USB or a Bluetooth connection. It contains a single MCU that acts as a USB host and interprets commands from an Android application. Additionally, it can interact with peripheral devices in the same way as most MCUs. In other words, it provides an awesome computing power with an internet/bluetooth connectivity, a touch screen, and can interface with a variety of sensors through Android devices. This increases the IOIOs ability to easily add peripheral devices to interact with the outside world of mechatronics design projects.
