title: Android: Communication with host computer
body: <p>I am looking for ideas as to how all of you can think to solve this issue. I am going to be using an Android Tablet as basically a touch screen input for a project. I need to be able to control servos and solenoids and such, so I will be using a Raspberry Pi to do this. I am looking for ideas on how to get the tablet and the Raspberry Pi to talk. Here are a few that I have though of so far.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Use Wifi (which I really do not want to, Ethernet would be okay) to ssh into the Raspberry Pi (with an external library) and run scripts that way from the Android app.</li>
  <li>Use a com port for Android (maybe Andropod if there hardware becomes available?) and run scripts on the Raspberry Pi.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Those are probably two of the "best" ideas that I can think of for now. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone think of any other "better" ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for the help,</p>
  
  <p>Dan</p>
