1. 0 to 7 rename Rename the current interface set connect action Set a command string to be send to the remote devices after connecting set command ending Change the command ending for the current interface The default is n Command ending can also be set to empty string but it is not recommended import Import an interface from file Interfaces are stored in the roboremo folder on the SD card The folder is created automatically at first app start export Export the current interface to a file Interfaces are stored in the roboremo folder on the SD card The folder is created automatically at first app start clear Clear the current interface New features and fixed bugs App version New features Fixed bugs 1 2 accelerometer support nternet WiFi connectivity option for sliders to return to center when released N A 1 3 option to change command ending fixed interface import export for interfaces string inputs from user are interpreted with non ASCII characters for escape characters t b n fixed text wrapping and auto scrolling when r t For character enter V resizing text logs 1 4 local action interface n same as fixed the bug with r n string in interfaces iface n where n is the interface number 0 to 7 auto connect option local actions for connecting and disconnectin2. All the commands from RoboRemo are text strings ending with command ending which is LF character n hex code OxOA 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 ending 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 in
