The Android Accessory Development Kit (ADK) for 2012 is the latest reference implementation of an Android Open Accessory device, designed to help Android hardware accessory builders and software developers create accessories for Android. The ADK 2012 is based on the Arduino open source electronics prototyping platform, with some hardware and software extensions that allow it to communicate with Android devices.
A limited number of these kits were produced and distributed at the Google I/O 2012 developer conference. If you did not receive one of these kits, fear not! The specifications and design files for the hardware were also released for use by manufacturers and hobbyists. You should expect to see kits with similar features available for purchase, or you can build one yourself!
