This microcontroller is a <strong>mixture of Raspberry Pi and Arduino<\/strong>. It has two processors and many interfaces as a Raspberry Pi and it is <strong>compatible with the Arduino Due<\/strong>. The main reason why I bought it is that<strong> WLAN is included<\/strong>. Only the Cubietruck has similar features.<\/p>\n<p>Today I just want to describe <strong>how you can remote control your Udoo with an Android smart phone or tablet<\/strong>. Prerequisite is that your Udoo has an <strong>SD Card with Linux<\/strong> on it. On the Udoo website you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.udoo.org\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download the images<\/a> and you find a description how to prepare such an SD Card. I chose the <strong>Linaro Ubuntu 12.04 LTS<\/strong>, but it should work with every Ubuntu version. Another prerequisite is that both your smart phone (or tablet) and your Udoo are <strong>connected to your local network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The steps on your Udoo:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Menu Applications &#8211; System Tools &#8211; Administration &#8211; <strong>Synaptic Package Manager<\/strong> &#8211; enter your password<\/li>\n<li>Enter <strong>x11vnc<\/strong> in the search field<\/li>\n<li>Check the <strong>x11vnc<\/strong> package to <strong>install<\/strong> it with all its dependencies<\/li>\n<li>start the VNC server with menu Applications &#8211; Internet &#8211; <strong>X11VNC Server<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>On the first window keep all the default values. Your port will be <strong>5900<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the second dialog window <strong>check &#8220;Accept connections&#8221;,<\/strong> enter two <strong>passwords<\/strong> (the first one you will need on your android smart phone or tablet) and confirm with OK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This worked not always. A more stable version is it to open Applications &#8211; Accessories &#8211; <strong>Terminal,<\/strong> then enter <strong>x11vnc<\/strong> and confirm with enter. As long as the terminal window is open you can connect.<\/p>\n<p>Now your VNC server is up and running.<\/p>\n<p>Steps on your Android smart phone or tablet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First find out the <strong>IP adress of your Udoo<\/strong> in the local network. With a Fritzbox (a common router in Germany and Switzerland) you can find this in the administration software.<\/li>\n<li>Open <strong>Google Play Store<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Search &#8220;<strong>android-vnc-viewer<\/strong>&#8221; and install it (<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=android.androidVNC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Open the android vnc viewer.<\/li>\n<li>Enter any nickname, for example &#8220;udoo&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Enter the first password you defined on the Udoo, the port 5900 and the IP address of your Udoo.<\/li>\n<li>Tap &#8220;Connect&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If everything is OK you should see the screen of your udoo after a short while. The cool thing is that now you can disconnect the screen from your udoo and manage it with any android tablet or phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p id=\"caption-attachment-2488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Remote control Udoo with an android smart phone<\/p>\n<p>Some days ago I bought a Udoo.
