Arduino Manager
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Integration between iOS devices and Arduino has never been so easy !!!
Arduino Manager is an app to control your Arduino board and receive information from it through the new official WiFi Shield and the Ethernet Shield.
The app shows a grid and tapping on it you can insert specialized widgets to send and receive information from Arduino.
Available widgets are:
➤ Display Widget: This widget shows values coming from your Arduino (i.e. Temperature). It can show numbers with 0,1,2,3 decimal digits or rolling text. Double tap on it to choose to show text or change the precision.
➤ Led Widget: This widget shows a Led that can be turned on and off through digital values from Arduino. Double tap on a Led Widget to change LED color.
➤ Switch Widget: This widget sets a digital value to Arduino.
➤ Push Button Widget: This widget temporarily sets a digital value to Arduino. Double tap on the Push Button Widget to change the button color.
➤ Knob Widget: This widget sets a non-digital value to Arduino.
➤ SD Widget: This widget shows the list of files available in the root of SD Card and selecting a file it shows the content.
➤ Graph Widget: This widget graphs values coming from your Arduino (i.e. Temperature). Double tap on it to zoom it in and change values range.
➤ Alarm Widget: This widget configures an alarm on the Arduino board which is then fired at the desired time. The alarm is fired even if the iOS device is not connected and retained across power off - power on cycles.
➤ Command Widget: This widget allows to send a command (text message) to Arduino once the yellow button is tapped. Double Tap the widget to enter the command text. You can add more Command Widgets to send different commands.
➤ Rover Controller Widget: This widget allows driving a rover robot just rotating the device.
➤ Sound Alarm Widget: This widget sounds an alarm each time the associated condition is verified. Double tap it to configure the condition and the alarm to sound.
➤ Threshold Widget: This widget allows setting a threshold to the Arduino board (e.g. the room temperature under which the board has to start an heater). Double tap on it to set the threshold's range and its actual value.
Each widget is associated with a variable (i.e. T), which is either written or read by the sketch running on the board. In this way the iOS app can receive information from the Arduino board or control it.
The app can be easily connected to more boards (one at a time), to switch from one board to another tap on the Configuration Widget.
When the Edit switch (bottom left side) is Off, user cannot add, delete or move widgets.
User can share widget configuration between own devices and/or other users, through an email message.
An Arduino library (IOSController) is available to easily integrate your own projects with Arduino Manager.
IOSController, related documentation, a test sketch and a video tutorial are available for free at my site.
PLEASE NOTE: Ethernet Shield and Ethernet Library or WiFi shield and WiFi Library ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO USE Arduino Manager.
