NetPad

Rete di controllo remoto per l'invio di informazioni di posizione al microcontrollore.

The purpose of the app is to control remote hardware like Arduino, Netduino, Raspberry Pi ...

The protocol is TCP/IP (Client).

3 positions are handled either as text or bytes.

The range of the values x,y (1. control) and z (2. control) are between -100 and 100.

Byte Mode: 3 positions are transfered as 3 bytes (default)

ASCII Mode: 3 positions are transfered as text seperated by comma (ended by \n)

Session inactive: Each transmission in a serated connection

Session active: Connection never closed, but if necessary automatic reconnect (default)

Zero inactive: No return to zero values after release

Zero active: Auto return to zero values after release

The purpose of the app is to control remote hardware like Arduino, Netduino, Raspberry Pi ...

V1.1:

- Changed default mode

- Session to hold connection

V1.2:

- Tablet modifications

V1.3:

- Zero: Auto return to zero values on/off

- Remember last settings

V1.4

- Improved TCP/IP connection

Sample code for a server on Raspberry Pi:

#include "stdio.h"

#include "stdlib.h"

#include "string.h"

#include "unistd.h"

#include "sys/types.h"

#include "sys/socket.h"

#include "netinet/in.h"
