Intro: Control LED using MIT App Inventor and Arduino
This is a step by step tutorial on getting started with creating MIT app inventor android app and control things with arduino.

Lets Make our first app to control a LED

Step 1: Getting Started with Arduino and Android

Blinking a LED is the first thing we do when we getting started with electronics in this tutorial you will TURN ON and TURN OFF the LED, this is the Hello world example
in this tutorial, you don't need any prior coding experience to make this application work. To test the app that created during this tutorial, you need an Android mobile to
test your app. creating an app with MIT app inventor is very simple, you won't be doing any coding process during creating your app, you will be assembling blocks
together to make your app. if you don't have any prior experience with Arduino control, make sure you follow some basics like connecting Arduino to your computer and
upload example code to Arduino from Arduino IDE, this would be more sufficient to follow this tutorial.

Step 2: COMPONNENT REQUIRED
Hardware:

1. Arduino board

2.LED

3. Resistor 330 ohm

4. wires

5.Android Smartphone

6.Bluetooth module (HC-05)

7.test board

Software:

1.Arduino IDE

you can download from

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

2.MIT app inventor

Step 3: Hardware & Software Configuration
Well, the circuit assembly is not difficult. The circuit consists only of LED, resistor, HC-05 and Arduino. The long "leg" of the LED will be connected to the 5V through the
resistor on Arduino pin number 13 while the shorter "led" will be connected to the GND. For the HC-05, the VCC is connected to 5V, GND to GND, RX of HC-05 to
Arduino TX, while TX of HC-05 to Arduino RX.

1-connect led ,resistor and bluetooth module as shown

2-connect Arduino to your computer using USB cable.

3- Download Arduino IDE on your computer.

4- download the Arduino code below and open it using Arduino IDE

5-choose your Arduino board from IDE

tools<<Board<<Arduino UNO

6-choose serial port from IDE

tools<<Port

7-run the Arduino sketch

8-upload sketch on your arduino board

File Downloads

control led.zip (485 bytes)

[NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'control led.zip']
Step 4: MIT app inventor Code block
First go to the App Inventor site http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/ and then it'll ask for your email and password and enter that in. Next, go to "Projects" and click "Start new
project" and call it Led control

Step 5: Running the App

There are many ways to run this application..but the easiest way is to download the MIT Ai Companion from the Google Play Store
