PhoneGap Arduino Counter Example

Simple Bluetooth Example. Arduino increments a counter and sends the value over Bluetooth. Android phone displays the value.

Some assembly required.

I'll assume you've cloned https://github.com/don/BluetoothSerial into ~/BluetoothSerial

Copy the chat example to a new directory.

$ cp -R ~/BluetoothSerial/examples/Counter ~/Counter

You need to copy the project to a new directory, otherwise the plugin installer will fail.
