Daisy kit code - Feedback Message

[guzhaoyuan]

I am developing with daisy for several month now. I noticed that the mobile IO app is only for input and have no feedback from the robot. This is a poor interaction method because we do need to confirm the robot is connected, the state is switched, etc. Please add a text box in the app so we could customize our feedback text that could be shown in the app.

Thanks for your feedback!

You'll be pleased to know that on recent versions of the iOS app (and coming soon for the Android app), we have added several methods of output/configuration:

• You can send digital outputs to provide binary visual feedback around the buttons
• You can set the "LED color" of the app (the border)
• You can set the slider and joystick values by sending analog output
• You can configure the buttons to be either momentary or toggle
• You can change the snap position of the joysticks and sliders
• You can cause phones to vibrate.

Also, we are adding text output support as well -- this is actually in the most recent app version, but will require an upcoming API update in order to be used from the PC -- stay tuned!
