Azurit pfodApp protocol

Communication protocol

The communication protocol between robot and Android app (the 'pfodSpecification') is defined here: http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/.

All menus (menu items, sliders, buttons) are created inside the robot. The App only visualizes the created menus, and sends back a command if a menu item was clicked by the user.

Example communication:

1. App requests main menu: {.}
2. Robot sends main menu to App: {.title`1000|key1~text1|key2~text2|key3~text3}
   The App will visualize the main menu like this:

   title
   [text1]
   [text2]
   [text3]

3. User clicks menu item 'text1', App sends back to robot the corresponding command: {key1}

You can log the communication to a file (folder 'pfodAppRawData' or 'ArduRemote') on your Android device. For the ArduRemote, press the 'Android menu button' on your device and choose 'Enable logging'.
