No. It is the same as with the other products. Any developer with C/C++ knowledge can write libraries. Over time there will be more and more libraries.
Thanks Erel for this great and timely product.
I think this addition to b4x studio is a must fir anyone planning to work in the new emerging field of ioT
OMG!!!!
It has being a day of shit, until the notification with the video raised at my cell!!!
You are a F***g genious!!!!!
All my prayings were listened.
This is very appealing. I've a big fan of Arduino and have implemented a lot of automation projects in my home (i.e., automated my blinds w/ an infrared remote control).
In the video, is the communication with the mobile totally over TCP/IP or is there some sort of serial connection? Really that was the most appealing part - the ability to integrate and interface an arduino with mobile apps.
I suspect this would be a lot easier that say b4i or b4a since there's no visual aspect to it.
I think what would be KILLER would be a b4r module that basically turns your Android or iOS device into a virtual shield - all the sensors totally available to your Arduino - OMG, drool
It is a simple TCP/IP connection. The USB cable is only for power (and logging).
About ESP8266, it shouldn't be difficult to support all boards that are supported by the Arduino IDE. Can you post a link to a popular ESP8266 board that can be programmed with Arduino IDE?
What makes the ESP8266 so powerfull is that you can use it like a WIFI shield for Arduino or as standalone device (you can program directly with Arduino IDE).
As the ESP8266 has a fixed number of digital GPIO pins (even analogic pins --> in ESP-01, two GPIO if you're using serial comms but for ex: Wemos D1 mini has 11 digital GPIO and a lot of shields), these can be connected directly to a relay switch, temperature sensor, etc.. and use the several libraries avalaible (mqtt, http, etc..) to interact with this sensors: a real IoT solution
I don't know if at first release, you can include support for the wifi shield and the standalone device but it could be a great solution for B4R and B4X integration
Hi Erel, ESP8266 would be without any doubt the perfect combination to match B4A and B4R. Here is the link of the library for using ESP8266 in Arduino.
There are very hard limits on what can be done in less than 2000 bytes of RAM.
There is no magic.
Regex is out of the question.
B4R will not use dynamic memory at all. I will post more information about this when B4R will be released. However it means that lists and maps will also won't be implemented, at least not in the first version.
