pfod™ (operation discovery protocol)

There are two free companion apps for pfodApp

e

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

Both free apps only generate Arduino code. You need to buy pfodApp to actually connect to Arduino

pfodDesignerV2 for designing menus/graphics and generating Arduino code for a wide variety of boards and pfodGUIdesigner for designing interactive GUI components, buttons, sliders, gauges, etc., and generating Arduino code.

Rev 3911 fixes the file saving permission issue of Android 11 and above and allows you to save the generated code to the directory of your choice, including Google Drive

The latest version allows you to create graphs and record Arduino data on your cell phone.

Create custom menus on your cell phone to turn Arduino outputs on and off quickly and easily via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Bluetooth V2, Wifi/Ethernet or SMS

No Arduino programming required and no mobile programming required.

This free app allows you to design and view pfodApp menus interactively and generate all the Arduino code needed to turn Arduino outputs on and off on your cell phone, via pfodApp.

See the step-by-step tutorial on how to build a menu and generate Arduino code at

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

pfod menus consist of a scrollable list of buttons and some (possibly blank) prompt text. pfodDesigner allows you to create a menu, customize the prompt, add buttons, set the background color, set the font color, font size and font style. All with interactive visualization. In-app help is also available

When you are happy with the appearance of your menu, pfodDesigner will generate Arduino code that will display that menu on your phone using pfodApp. You can specify the serial connection and baud rate according to your hardware. No Android programming required. No mobile programming required.

pfodDesigner saves the code to a file on your phone -- /pfodAppRawData/pfodDesignerV3.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.

(http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/Android_pfodApp/pfodAppForAndroidGettingStarted.pdf

covers copying pfodApp Raw Data files to your computer.)

If you choose the On/Off toggle buttons, pfodDesigner generates ALL the Arduino code needed to turn the chosen output on and off.

If you choose simple buttons for your menu, pfodDesigner generates the Arduino code needed to send the menu and parse the commands.

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

for example.

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

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

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

Note about pfodDesignerV3 application code:

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

All pfodDesignerV3 screens are just standard pfod screens. pfodDesignerV3 is actually just a copy of pfodApp with an added backend to save your data and serve the various screens using standard pfod messages. Open the mobile menu in the app and choose Drummy57.comebug View to see the pfod messages that are generating the pfodDesigner screens.
