Sensors in Phone and Arduino | Serial Communication : 7 Steps (with Pictures) | tecno4 | Scoop.it

Sensors are one of the crucial things when it comes to building projects/robots. Many a times the sensor might be not available locally or it might take too long to ship.
Smart phone have most of the basic sensors like proximity, accelerometer, light, magnetometer, gyroscope, etc. embedded and we can in fact use these sensors in our Arduino projects.
These can be easily used for quick prototyping.
So In this Instructables I will show you how these sensors can but utilized and can be made to talk to Arduino through wired connection.
Why wired? Because we just need a USB cable to establish a communication unlike in wireless other modules are required.
