Introduction to the Project and Development Environment
We will start our first Day by introducing the project goal - write an application on an android phone that will allow us to control and communicate with our embedded device. We will also walk through the steps of installing the android development system on our development PC and writing the app to a phone.

An NFC Primer and Introducing the NXP NTAG
Our second Day will be spent learning the basics of Near-Field Communication (NFC) and what the standard specifies for various classes of passive transponder tags. We will define the tag type we will use and what parameters we need to pass back and forth, as well as what security structure we need to implement in order to make our interface secure. We will also look at the NXP NTAG series of chips and the NTAG I2C Explorer Kit we will use to simulate our embedded application.

Adding NFC Capability and Communications to Our App
For our penultimate class, we will look at ways we can implement NFC capability to our app so we can communicate via the phone's NFC interface with a passive tag to sense, identify and read and write to the tag.

Putting it All Together
For our final class, we will use the NXP NTAG Explorer kit to read and write the tag's info that we access with our app to close the loop between the phone and our embedded device. We will look at the tradeoffs and areas for improvement for the future use of this user interface.
