I am referring this example for communicating Android with Arduino board. I am having freeduino uno board with USB shield and Android phone(micromax A110 (4.1.1), sony xperia P (4.0.6) and samsumg core (4.1.2)). I have downloaded USB_Host_Shield_2.0 from here. I am compiling sketch and uploading successfully. but, unable to establish communication between freeduino uno board and Android phone. I am trying to blink LED using PIN 13 of freduino uno board but its not working. I am getting output on serial monitor after connecting Android phone to freeduino board.

ADK demo start

Are you using the same usb host shield? – Dage
@Dage: I am using freeduino USB Host shield. – Amol Sawant 96 Kuli
I'm not sure if the firmware is compatible with that board? These links might be helpfull: github.com/moderndevice/FreeduinoHostBoard/tree/master/… wiki.moderndevice.com/pmwiki.php?n=MD.FHB – Dage
Thank you for replying. I tried but giving me same error. may be my devices not supporting to accessory devices – Amol Sawant 96 Kuli
I havent used it myself, but it should be compatible. From developer.android.com/tools/adk/adk2.html Start Google Play on your device, search for the ADK 2012 application and install it. If you cannot find the app, your device is not compatible. Try installing on another device. I would just follow that guide to get your device to connect before moving on.. – Dage

Okay, it could be a few things. For this problem, it might help you to press the reset button a couple of times on the arduino board, then try again. Also, when you connect the shield, try connecting pin d7 to the reset pin on the arduino board. If this doesn't solve it, then you likely have a problem with your usb shield, but maybe someone else has a better answer for you, let me know if this helps!
