Has anyone had luck turning an Android smartphone into a non-remote-control in-situ on-board autonomous sensing, computing and control element for a mobile robot?
To put it in short, underneath Android is Linux, but most phone makers remove or disable the typical USB to Serial drivers, which is used for most iot extension boards. There is no official support from Android for this at this point. You can either directly use the UsbManager APIs to communicate with the robot, or use an opensource library like this one, which uses Android's UsbManager APIs to implement the serial driver.

USB Serial on a Fire HD Plus (11th Generation)
I'm looking to utilize a USB serial connection on the Fire HD Plus 11th gen. This is something I've been successful at doing with Android devices via USB Serial package. For some reason, it doesn't work on the Fire HD. The reason I need this is because I need the wireless charging that the Fire HD provides so that the USB port is available for this serial connection.
