Turn your android phone into a joystick and connect it to your computer via Wi-Fi

I am trying to create a joystick for Android that has directional accelerometer control. So far, I have been successful in completing the android part. Now I need to connect the input / output port of the computer for the joystick using Wi-Fi. I do not know how to do that. To do this, I need knowledge in the field of embedded system programming. But I don’t even know where to start? Actually, I don’t even know if this is possible or not? I searched the Internet and learned a lot about connecting using a parallel port or serial port. But on each page it says that for this you need to have a connector for the parallel port (now the connectors of the parallel port are extinct, since USB replaced them). I know that I do not need to connect to any of these external contact connectors because I work via Wi-Fi.

  • Is this possible for what I'm trying to build?
  • How do I access the I / O port using Wi-Fi (without connecting any external ports)?
  • Is it possible to transfer data between Android (java) and a computer (programming the embedded C system)?

I did something similar using WP7. We made the server side (PC) and the client side (WP). The connection was through a socket using wi-fi. I think you should start socket and studiyng streams.
