Create custom control interfaces with a simple drag-and-drop and transform your Android device into a controller by transmitting commands over WebSocket, MQTT, TCP, and UDP protocols.
-
Drag-and-Drop Control Pad Creation
Design your control pads by dragging and dropping components like buttons, sliders, and switches. -
Multi-Protocol Support and Seamless Server Connections
Easily configure your control pad to act as a client for network protocols such as WebSocket, MQTT, TCP, and UDP. Once configured, the control pad can connect to servers using any of these protocols. Interact with your control pad’s components—like buttons, switches, and sliders—to send real-time commands directly to the connected server and process those commands at server side
Start by creating a new control pad. Provide a unique name to identify your control pad.
After creating the control pad, click on the Build icon and use the drag-and-drop interface to add components like switches, buttons, and sliders etc.
Assign a unique ID to each component. This ID will be sent to the server during interactions.
Tap 'Settings, choose a connection type (TCP, UDP, WebSocket, or MQTT), enter the server address and port. You can switch between connection types anytime
a. Click on the Play icon to start interacting with your control pad.
b. Tap the Connect button in the bottom-right corner to establish a connection with the server.
When users interact with the control pad, JSON-formatted messages are generated based on the type of component used. These JSON messages enable servers to understand and process interactions sent from the control pad. Below are the formats and details for each interaction:
Toggling a switch generates the following JSON:
{
"id": "the id you specified",
"type": "SWITCH",
"state": true
}
- The
state
field indicates whether the switch is on (true
) or off (false
).
Pressing or releasing a button generates this JSON:
{
"id": "the id you specified",
"type": "BUTTON",
"state": "PRESS"
}
- The
state
field can have two values:- "PRESS": When the button is being pressed (finger on the button).
- "RELEASE": When the button is released (finger lifted off after pressing).
A Click Button differs from a regular button as it sends a single tap gesture instead of separate PRESS or RELEASE events. The generated JSON is:
{
"id": "the id you specified",
"type": "CLICK_BUTTON",
"state": "CLICK"
}
- The
state
field is always "CLICK" to indicate the tap gesture.
Dragging the slider thumb generates the following JSON:
{
"id": "the id you specified",
"type": "SLIDER",
"value": 1.4
}
- The
value
field represents the current position of the slider. - The value is always within the range of the minimum and maximum values specified during the slider's configuration.
