Not satisfied with the number of channel offerings, firmware limitations, physical size, and costs per channel of other commercially available IoT data acquisition products for Android?
That is why we created AndroiDAQ; a new paradigm in mobile and portable data acquisition and system control for the Internet of Things (IoT).
AndroiDAQ is a complete data acquisition and control system for Android and other programming languages. The AndroiDAQ module is very small, fully programmable, and very powerful, multi-cored single-board, wired and wireless data acquisition platform, used for electronics prototyping and development for the Internet of Things. AndroiDAQ is very low cost per channel data acquisition and I/O control device that was designed to meet the many shortcomings of other commercially available data acquisition products. AndroiDAQ has 16 digital/analog I/O channels, all of which can be used as Counter/Timer channels. And 8-channels from a separate, 12-bit, Analog to Digital Converter, for voltage level change sensing and other measurements. This total of 24-channels allows for very diverse data acquisition and control applications. AndroiDAQ has the highest counter channel count available compared to other low-cost data acquisition modules.
AndroiDAQ is designed around our successful data acquisition for Android circuitry. The AndroiDAQ DEMO for LabVIEW library and our AndroiDAQ DEMO for Android application are Open Source to help you quickly develop your application. AndroiDAQ is very design flexible with a plethora of uses for interfacing Android or other computer software to the outside world. AndroiDAQ can be used for robotics, process monitoring and control systems, smart peripherals and appliances, and anything else your imagination can dream up to make your Internet of Things (IoT) product. This module is compatible with Android™, LabVIEW™, JAVA™, Python, C#, and many other programming languages.
The AndroiDAQ module can be used for:
Scientific experiments, class projects, and field measurements
Stepper, servo, brush-less and other DC motor controls
Android and other smart peripherals including smart vending machines
2D and 3D printer control and/or multi-axis CNC machine control
Solar and electric vehicle on-board power management systems
Biometric and medical smart devices and equipment
Single to multi-wheeled driven robotic vehicles
Multicopter, Quadcopter, and other unmanned aerial vehicles or drones
Quadrapod and Hexapod and other multi legged robots
Bipods, balancing robots, and more fun with robotics
Weather, earthquake, data recording, and other remote testing and sensing operations
Home security, automated watering systems, Christmas lighting control
and much more, limited only by your imagination...
With this module, you can easily design and develop robotic control drive systems with feedback, remote data acquisition and control systems, and control interfaces for electronic sensors and circuitry; all of which can be directly controlled by your Android phone, PC, Laptop, or tablet, under Windows, Linux, or Android.

We are please to announce our Founder's book: "The Ultimate AndroiDAQ Guide". The Ultimate AndroiDAQ Guide is an in-depth look into the techniques of data acquisition and process control, using the parallel processing micro-controller on the AndroiDAQ module. It teaches you sensing and electronic drive circuits, and how to implement these circuits in programming languages like Android, LabVIEW, Java, and Python.
The book also shows you how to leverage and use the menu command structure used in the AndroiDAQ open source firmware, for the many data acquisition tasks that are used in robotic and product design.
Many examples are given to allow you to control your AndroiDAQ module in ways other popular development modules can not, via USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi communication. It is a guide to help you make your next project be part of the Internet of Things. This book is available for most popular eBook readers. Order your copy today
