IOIO Application Protocol

garyamort edited this page Sep 20, 2012 · 3 revisions

The IOIO Board uses multiple protocols to communicate with a control device.

There is the hardware protocol layer, ie using the Bluetooth device or a USB connection.

Above that, there will be framing for that protocol - over Bluetooth it uses a UART emulated connection. Over USB it can use various Android defined protocols.

Above that is the IOIO Application Protocol which allows an application running on the control device to access the pins and commands of the IOIO. This IOIO Application Protocol does not consist of any framing, all communication packets contain commands and parameters - the length of the parameter data is determined by the command being used. These protocols are defined in the protocol_defs.h file in the repository. IOIO Protocol Definitions.

Many communication packets do not have a response - an application must provide it's own sanity checking to see if commands.

Language Notes: Java: In Java, the same method may be called with different numbers of parameters. In the code below I assume that you have an IOIO object derived from the IOIO interface. I have only identified the full signature API method and have not included the others. The pages specific for those methods are a much better source of documentation - the goal here is merely to give a quick reference for the official Java API, followed by references in other languages for how they change.
