LOFI Control for Arduino is a web app – so called PROGRESSIVE WEB APP. You can use it in the web browser (on desktop or mobile) or install it to homescreen an use like a regular mobile app.
THE APP IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT
You can test the app with Robot Dog Arduino code
- you can use it in the browser or install to homescreen
- communicates with Arduino over bluetooth 4.0 via bluetooth modules compatible with the most popular HM-10 ar MLT-BT05
Supported platforms:
- Windows – Chrome, Opera, Edge
- MacOS – Chrome, Opera, Edge, (no Safari)
- Android – Chrome
- ChromeOS
- iOS – Finally! you can use web-bluetooth on iPhone or iPad via BLUEFY WEB BROWSER (available in the App Store), not the most elegant solution but at least it works 🙂
Getting started:
- connect bluetooth module (HM-10 or MLT-BT05) to Arduino and upload code with Serial Port communication
- got to LOFI CONTROL fro Arduino web app
- click robot icon in upper right corner you should see your bluetooth module discovered in the system dialog
- on desktop you can control the robot with keyboard arrow keys, on touchscreen use onscreen buttons
- slider send values form 0 to 180 to the Micro:Bit
If it does not work:
- be sure you have bluetooth and GPS on Android turned on
- be sure you have script on your Micro:Bit that runs bluetooth UART service and the MakeCode project connection settings are set to : No Pairing Required: Anyone can connect via Bluetooth.
