RoboControl

Robo Control is an App used to wirelessly controll a robot. You control it either through a virtual joystick or by use of the Gesture Control bracelet MYO made by Thalmic Labs.

To use Robo Control to handle a robot, the smartphone has to be connected to the WiFi-Network generated by, for example, an XBee® WiFi-Module made by Digi International. If a valid connection is established, Robo Control sends relevant data, which will be analized and processed by a microprocessor, to the WiFi-Module up to ten times each second. To use MYO for controlling the robot, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is required.

Install

1. Download the current version from either the APK folder or Dropbox (see "Links"). 2. Make sure to activate the option "Allow unknown sources" on your Android smartphone.

To get to the settings for unknown sources, open your your settings and select either "Application" or "Security" (depending on your device), where you can check or uncheck "Unknown Sources".

3. Install RoboControl

First Steps

  1. connect WiFi
    Connect your smartphone to the WiFi-Module.

    Robo Control -> WiFi Settings
    or
    Settings (Smartphone) -> Wi-Fi

  2. pair MYO
    Pair MYO with your smartphone via Bluetooth LE. Open your smartphone's settings for this.

    Robo Control > BT Settings
    or
    Settings (Smartphone) -> Bluetooth

  3. Control
    LaunchRobo Control and adjust the necessary settings.Choose your desired control-mode.

If you are using the Gesture Control-Mode, select the bracelet in the next dialogue.

The App was programmed with Eclipse adn the (outdated) ADT Plugin. To import the App to Eclipse, both projects have to be imported from libs/Library.zip first. After that RoboControl can be imported. The libraries may have to be reassigned.
