# 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.

## Arduino
