About Pinguino Control APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Pinguino Control is an Android Application that controls a Pinguino PIC32 OTG board in real time, offering the possibility to act on every input and output available of this platform.Pinguino is a development platform similar to Arduino.
The user can set Ports/Pins to input or outputs, plus setting their logic state. This App also offers control over the Analogue Outputs (PWM) and monitoring of all Analogue Inputs implemented on the board.
Feedback is also provided, so the user can see what is happening in the board, regardless if it was caused by interaction with the App or directly on the hardware.
Communication is done with two methods, WiFi or USB. For WiFi communication, the Android device sends control messages to a Pinguino located under the same WiFi LAN. Pinguino must be programmed with the correct firmware, plus it must be using a WiFi card, such as the MOD-WIFI from Olimex.
The second method, USB, is accomplished by loading Pinguino with the Firmware provided in the developer´s website. The communication is done with the aid of interfacing using Pure Data(free and open source) or Max MSP. The patches to do so can be downloaded from my website. Android then sends control messages over WiFi to the computer running Pure Data, which in turn resends those messages to Pinguino over USB.
Known bugs:
- When operating, and connected to the LAN, the PIC does not let Android connect to the Access Point, Ensure Android is connected before Pinguino

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
