The CreateIOIO function creates an object which manages the connection between your Android phone and the IOIO board.
ioio = app.CreateIOIO( mode );
The mode parameter can be set to either "ADB" or "Bluetooth", the default is "ADB". If you are
using Bluetooth then make sure you have paired with the IOIO board first (enter the pin code "4545").
Once it is created you can use the SetOnConnect function to set a callback function which will be called every time an IOIO board
is connected to your phone.
In your OnConnect callback you need to call functions on the IOIO object to create objects which can control the resources
of your IOIO board. For example you might want two Digital outputs and one Analog input so you would use the CreateDigitalOutput
and CreateAnalogInput functions.
You will probably want to call the CheckConnection function shortly after you have created the IOIO
object to check if the IOIO board is already connected, in which case your OnConnect callback will be called immediately.
Example - Flash LED every 50ms
function OnStart()
{
ioio = app.CreateIOIO();
ioio.SetOnConnect( ioio_OnConnect );
ioio.CheckConnection();
}
function ioio_OnConnect()
{
app.ShowPopup( "Connected!" );
out = ioio.CreateDigitalOutput( 0,true );
setInterval( "FlashLED()",50 );
led = true;
}
function FlashLED()
{
led = !led;
out.Write( led );
}
Example - Read voltage on pin 40
function OnStart()
{
ioio = app.CreateIOIO();
ioio.SetOnConnect( ioio_OnConnect );
ioio.CheckConnection();
}
function ioio_OnConnect()
{
app.ShowPopup( "Connected!" );
input = ioio.CreateAnalogInput( 40 );
setInterval( "ReadVoltage()",3000 );
}
function ReadVoltage() {
app.ShowPopup( input.GetVoltage(),"Short" );
}
Example - Fade LED using PWM
function OnStart()
{
ioio = app.CreateIOIO();
ioio.SetOnConnect( ioio_OnConnect );
ioio.CheckConnection();
}
function ioio_OnConnect()
{
app.ShowPopup( "Connected!" );
pwm = ioio.CreatePwmOutput( 0,100 );
setInterval( "Dimmer()",10 );
count = 0;
}
function Dimmer()
{
pwm.SetDutyCycle( count/100 );
if( count++ > 100 ) count = 0;
}
