Android + Arduino = Amarino

My latest experiment with Arduino using a Bluetooth and an Android smartphone (ASUS Garmin A10). Credit to Amarino coz simplifying the contact from Android to Arduino and vice versa. Credit also to initial idea of Lucas Fragomeni using Servo motor. I'm using DC motor with DFR chasis and Arduino Romeo.
Sorry about the video shaking, one hand is holding the Android and the other is holding a camera.... my assistance is sleeping in the video..... he..he...

BUS LOCATOR with GPS & GSM

*Borrowed heavily from ScooterPuter

Based on a combination of Arduino, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS). A query by sms will return the following information:

i. Location
ii. Date & Time
iii. Longitude & Latitude
iv. Speed
v. Remaining distance

The Arduino sketch can be found on the myduino forum.
