RoboRemo User Manual v1 5 lebih UP RUN STOP menu LEFT RIGHT DOWN battery red E power a powell speed l green blue RoboRemo is a user customizable remote control application intended mainly for electronics hobby projects RoboRemo can connect over Bluetooth Internet or WiFi Disclaimer Don t use RoboRemo for life support systems or any other situations where system failure may affect user or environmental safety To connect over Bluetooth a remote device must contain a Bluetooth to Serial adapter like BlueSMiRF or similar and a microcontroller programmed to interpret commands from RoboRemo You can also find adapters for Wifi or Ethernet Bluetooth to serial adapter BlueSMiRF or similar microcontroller Arduino or similar Android device with RoboRemo app Remote device Arduino WiFi Shield or similar power Sees microcontroller Ae Arduino or similar Android device with RoboRemo app Remote device A ja Oe a Arduino Ethernet Shield or similar a power pues rit TIUS microcontroller Arduino or similar Android device with RoboRemo app Remote device All the commands from RoboRemo are text strings ending with command ending which is LF character n hex code OxO0A by default but user can change it For example if you configure a button to send abc when pressed it will send abc n if command end
3. ing is n or it will send abcqwerty123 if command ending is qwerty123 The command ending is used by the microcontroller program to know where each command ends RoboRemo also can receive commands for updating some interface items for example you can have a battery level indicator to monitor the battery level of the remote device These input commands also must end with command ending It is not recommended to set command ending to empty string because receiving commands from microcontroller to app will not work properly App will think that command ends after each received character However the commands from app to microcontroller will be sent as expected a button configured to send abc will send abc Available interface items item name photo description button Buttons can be used for sending commands to the remote button device A button can be configured to send one command when pressed and other command when released Slider Sliders can be used to vary remote device parameters for example volume control or motor speed or light intensity led Leds can be used as indicators for remote device states level indicator gs A level indicator item can be used to display data from remote sensors for example temperature or battery level A text log item is a log screen that can be used to display debug messages from the remote device text log
