Bluetooth Terminal for Android to use with Miskatino microcontrollers

Miskatino microcontrollers expose basic-like interface via UART, so they could be programmed via cable or bluetooth from variety of host devices, including mobile phones and tablets. On android several bluetooth terminals from "google play" could be used. Meanwhile this project represents dedicated bluetooth terminal, mainly intended to allow sending single keypresses instead of collecting whole lines before sending (as most of popular applications do due to specifics of android keyboard).
