MIT App Inventor Blocks:

 

ARDUINO sketch:

int led=8;
int x = 1;
void setup() {
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {

if (Serial.available() >= 2 )
{
unsigned int a = Serial.read();
unsigned int b = Serial.read();
unsigned int val = (b * 256) + a;
if (val == 1000 && x == 1)
{
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
x = 2;
}
else if (val == 1000 && x == 2)
{
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
x = 1;
}
}
}
