pfodDesinger for pfodApp (www.pfod.com.au)

pfod™ (Protocol For Operations Discovery)

Create custom Android menus to turn Arduino outputs on and off, quickly and easily via Bluetooth, Wifi/Ethernet or SMS

No Android Programming required and no Android programming required.

This free application lets you interactively design and view pfodApp menus and generates all the required Arduino code to turn Arduino outputs on and off from your mobile, via pfodApp.

See the step by step tutorial on building a menu and generating the Arduino code at

http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/pfodDesigner/index.html

pfod menus consist of a scrollable list of buttons and some (possible blank) prompt text. pfodDesigner lets you create a menu, customise the prompt, add buttons, set the background colour, set the font colour, font size and font style. All with interactive preview. In app help is also available

When you are happy with how your menu looks the pfodDesigner will generate Arduino code that will display this menu on your Android mobile using pfodApp. You can specify the serial connection and baud rate to suit your hardware. No Android programming required. No Arduino programming required.

pfodDesigner saves the code to a file on your mobile -- /pfodAppRawData/pfodDesigner.txt

The generated code also handles the commands returned when the user clicks the buttons

Copy this file to your computer and paste the code into the Arduino IDE.

covers copying pfodApp Raw Data files to your computer.)

If you choose On/Off toggle buttons then the pfodDesigner generates ALL the Arduino code need to turn your choosen output on and off. You can even specify the state of the output when Arduino powers up.

If you choose simple buttons for you menu then the pfodDesigner generates the Arduino code need to send the menu and parser the commands.

All you need to do then is replace the place holder comments with your own Arduino action code for each button command

e.g.

} else if('A'==cmd) { // user pressed -- ON

// << add your action code here for this button

The pfodDesigner stores your designs so you can easily go back modify them as needed.

Note about pfodDesigner app code:

-----------------------------------------------

All pfodDesigner screens are just standard pfod screens. The pfodDesigner is actually just a copy of pfodApp with a back end added to save your data and serve up the various screens using standard pfod messages. Open the mobile's menu in the app and choose Debug View to see the pfod messages that are generating the pfodDesigner screens.
