The App

Overview

Arduino Ethernet Controller PRO and Arduino Ethernet Controller are the counterparts to the API.
With the app you are able to control your Arduino over the network. Simply add your Arduino to your control, insert the commands and you are ready to go.

Commands

Right now we implemented 4 elements

• Button
• Slider
• Color
• Feedback

Button

• There are 2 types of buttons, the virtual button and the pin button.
  The virtual button allows you to send a custom command for each ON and OFF button. For example ON = x1 and OFF = x0. Those commands are send to the Arduino, so if you catch x you will ether get 1 or 0 back. A pin button directly refers to a digital hardware pin on the arduino-board. Choose a pin and ON will turn this pin to HIGH and OFF will put it into a LOW state. You can also change the button labels.

Slider

• There are also 2 types of sliders, virtual slider and pin slider. If you use a virtual slider you have to set a command wich identifies the whole command for the Arduino, e.g s. You also have to set a min and a max value wich will be used for your in-app slider and also for the command send to the Arduino.
  Like the pin button a pin slider directly refers to a hardware pin, but a analog one. A pin sliders range is always between 0 and 255.

Color

• COLOR is a more advanced control. It allows you to control a RGB-light or any other application of your imagination that uses HEX-colors.
  To use Color you need to set a identifier, e.g c. In the control tab you can set the color as well as the brightness.
  A color command consists of 3 elements, the identifier, the hex-colorcode and the brightness wich are then combined and send to the Arduino like this: cff0000100 (this would be RED with 100% brightness)

Feedback

• Feedback allows you to get data back from your Arduino. All you need to do is to set a identifier and set up you feedback in the Arduino code.
