About this app

Custom Robot Control is a powerful and flexible app designed for Arduino and IoT enthusiasts who want to build and customize their own Bluetooth-based remote controller. Whether you're building a smart car, a robotic arm, a remote sensor, or a home automation system, this app lets you create a remote control interface that suits your project. Add, resize, and move items: buttons, sliders, LEDs, progress bars, displays, and more. Then pair the app with your microcontroller with just the press of a button.

This app is designed to accompany the Custom Robot Control library, which can be installed using the Arduino library manager. Custom Robot Control takes care of the Bluetooth communications, so you can focus on the important aspects of your project. A complete tutorial is included.

Key Features:
• Fully Customizable UI: Create your own layout using resizable and movable elements such as buttons, sliders, LEDs, progress bars, text displays, and more. Perfect for creating a personalized remote control panel for any robotics project.
• Easy Bluetooth Communication: Connect to your Arduino or compatible board via Bluetooth with just one tap. No complex configuration needed. The app handles the communication so you can focus on your project logic.
• Complete Tutorial Included: A built-in step-by-step tutorial helps you get started quickly, even if you’re new to Bluetooth communication or Arduino programming.

Who Is Custom Robot Control For?
Custom Robot Control is designed for:
• Arduino Developers – Easily control your projects using a custom mobile interface.
• Makers & Hobbyists – Build personalized Bluetooth controllers for robots, drones, remote sensors, or home automation.
• STEM Students & Educators – Use it in the classroom or lab to teach robotics, IoT, and embedded systems.
• DIY Enthusiasts – No need to code a new app for every project. Create a visual interface in minutes.
• Prototypers & Engineers – Test and demo Bluetooth-based hardware without writing extra UI code.
Whether you're building a robot, smart device, or automation system, this app gives you full flexibility and control - right from your phone.

How It Works:
• Install the Custom Robot Control Library: Install the library from the Arduino Library Manager.
• Design Your UI: Add and arrange UI elements like buttons, sliders, progress bars, and displays directly in the app. Each element sends or receives data to/from your microcontroller.
• Program Your Arduino Board: Use simple library functions to send and receive data between your Arduino board and the app via Bluetooth.
• Connect the App to Your Board: Launch the app, turn on Bluetooth, and tap to connect. Compatible with most Arduino BLE or WiFi boards.
• Test and Control: Interact with your Arduino project in real time. Use buttons to trigger actions, sliders to control motors, and displays to monitor sensor data.
No programming is required to build the mobile interface - just drag, drop, and connect.

Supports the following boards:
• Arduino MKR WiFi 1010
• Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2
• Arduino Nano 33 IoT
• Arduino Nano 33 BLE
• Nicla Sense ME
• UNO R4 WiFi.
