The major Android phones on the market (G1, Droid, etc) have Bluetooth and USB connectors, and I wish that somebody would use this connectivity to create some new Android monitoring gadgets, for example:
-- A heart rate monitor - for athletic, not medical use
-- An oximeter (blood oxygen monitor) - for athletic, not medical use
-- An ODB to USB adapter to monitor modern cars like the Prius
I have searched for these monitoring toys to no avail; does anybody know of existing products in these niches?

Sites like ThinkGeek, EnGadget, and even Amazon already have affordable stand-alone heart rate monitors and oximeters. However, I cannot yet find versions of those toys with USB or Bluetooth connectivity. Even after we get that connectivity, we still need to write Android drivers and Android apps to collect workout data. Wouldn't that be cool for our workouts, if we could add heart and oxygen data to our google maps data and pedometer data on Android phones.

With basic soldering skills, you can build an automotive ODB-to-USB adapter at home (Search for 'Simple USB to OBD2 adapter on PIC18F2455'). With an ODB monitor, I could adapt existing open source Linux programs onto the Android, to monitor the Prius's three tachometers, intake manifold pressure, engine temperature, oil pressure, kilowatts in or out of the battery, kilowatts into motor generator 2, etc. You do not have to modify the Prius to do this; the Prius ODB plug already provides this data. ]]> Android Google phone accessories PriusHacker http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f13/android-monitor-accessories-that-somebody-should-market-28191/ http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f13/wow-very-cool-droid-skins-27958-new/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:44:39 GMT hey everybody!

I have an HTC G1. A few days ago I bought a car holder from Brodit for it, with a 3-in-1 adapter:... Hello!

I have an HTC G1. A few days ago I bought a car holder from Brodit for it, with a 3-in-1 adapter: http://mountonus.com/HTC-Dream/Brodi...868-20015.aspx

The adapter has a 3.5" plug for audio, one mini-USB for charging and one HTC Ext USB plug. I assume the latter has all the connections for the phone. (The producer says it's “for the original headset”.)

The thing is quite nice, I connect the mini-USB to a lighter socket for charging and the 3.5" plug to the sound system via one of those cassette adapters (my car doesn't have aux-in).

When plugged in, whatever makes a sound on the phone goes through to the car speakers, which is quite cool; no more risk of not hearing the phone ringing due to the music playing.

However, I can't figure out a good way of taking phone calls this way. I tried it once, the output sound goes correctly to the car's speakers, but the guy on the other phone can't hear me. I assume the phone's mic is disabled when a headset (or “carset”) is plugged in, and even if it weren't the car holder covers it.

I read some people successfully use a Bluetooth headset to take calls, but I really hate having things in my ear, and headphones in general.

Does anyone know a good way of connecting separate a microphone and headset via such an adapter? I would like to put a good directional microphone above the steering wheel, keep the audio output connected to the cassette adapter, and connect them at the same time. A proximity mic attached to my collar would work too, though I'm wary of adding more cables to the setup.

I was hoping there is some adapter that plugs into the Ext USB port and gives you separate mic in and audio out plugs that I can use at the same time. Worst-case scenario I might make one myself, provided somebody knows the wiring of the Ext-USB port.

Also, does anyone have any experience with a good directional microphone? I'm concerned that the audio from the car's speakers would drown my voice or create echoes for the calling party. ]]> Android Google phone accessories bogdanb http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f13/take-calls-via-car-adapter-27778/ http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f13/whats-the-best-android-phone-27562-new/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:58:56 GMT sorry .. wrong thread sorry .. wrong thread ]]> Android Google phone accessories web strategy http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f13/whats-the-best-android-phone-27562/
