Thanks Chuck. It's a fun hobby. I don't program in Java having done so much in visual basic over the years. Fortunately, I found a language for Android that is very much like VB called Basic4Android<https://www.plimus.com/jsp/redirect.jsp?contractId=1715566&referrer=1047706>. It has a library for the IOIO board.
