pfodApp V3 adds interactive controls and menu and drawing caching

“A really great app but the underlying protocol is the real genius behind the app.
Was able to develop a relatively sophisticated interface for an arduino project in a short time with straight forward code.
Just about any embedded micro project can benefit from the interface that this app provides.”
Google Play review posted by Greg Brandt

For pfodApp app users see pfodAppForAndroidGettingStarted.pdf and Arduino for Beginners, controlled by Android
For support post your question on the pfodApp Forum and also see pfodSpecification.pdf
If updating pfodApp see Help pfodApp has stopped working when I changed phones / recreated the connection

BLE Connections: If pfodApp has trouble re-connecting to your BLE device, use the nRF Connect app to connect first. Deleting and re-creating the connection in pfodApp also works. Also check Tips for Connecting to BLE devices below.

Unleash the power of your Arduino or other micro project with pfodApp. Show people that you are not just playing with circuits but building useful devices, like a garage door remotes, dimmable room lighting, etc, that they can control from their Android mobile. This single pfodApp can control multiple devices each with different functions. pfodApp V3 add support for creating your own sophisticated controls, No android programming required.

Using pfodApp on an Andriod mobile, your users can read text prompts in their own language, send navigation commands, traverse menu hierarchies, choose from single and multi-selection lists, input numbers and text and plot and view data sent by your micro. You can send sensor readings to your mobile and have them plotted and saved in a file for later downloading to your computer.

The pfodApp does all of the Android stuff for you and remembers the menu hierarchy. You only need to code your micro to be a pfodDevice which responds to simple requests over Bluetooth, BLE or Wifi/Internet or SMS and sends back simple micro-pages in response. The controls, text and user choices displayed on the Android mobile by the pfodApp are completely determined by what you code in your micro. No Android coding is required. The pfodApp handles it all.

Wifi/Ethernet and SMS connections offer optional 128 bit security to guard against hackers connecting to or taking control of your device. See Challenge and Response Security for Internet connected pfodDevices for the details. An Arduino library, pfodSecurity, part of the pfod libraries, implements this 128 bit security on the pfodDevice. See A Simple WiFi/Arduino pfodDevice for example code and how to generate and load the 128 bit password. For details of SMS connection see this page.

Although pfodDesignerV3 handles all the coding for you, if you are interested in more detail on how pfod handles logical differences between connection types, Bluetooth, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), WiFi/Ethernet (TCP/IP), Mobile SMS and LoRa/Radio, see Design Considerations for pfod Links.

Notes about Location permission usage on Android V12+
pfodApp does not and never has used or stored or sent any location information. However prior to Android V12, Google insisted on pfodApp requesting Location permission in order to make Bluetooth connections. On Android 12+ it is possible to avoid asking for the Location permission since pfodApp does not actually use , store or send any location information. However pfodApp still runs mobiles back to Android V4.4 and currently does not take advantage of that aspect of Android V12. So for now on Android V12+ allow Location permission “While using the app” . NOTE: Do not choose “Only this time” because pfodApp only checks for permissions on start up not every time it is needed. So choosing “Only this time” will cause pfodApp to fail at some later time.

Since pfodApp still runs on old Android mobiles, V4.4+, you can re-purpose your old mobile as a dedicated controller/user interface for your projects.

See below for how to turn your micro processor project into a pfodDevice that can be controlled by this pfodApp. You can also just connect to your PC via bluetooth or wifi to test out how your micro-pages will be displayed on the pfodApp and what message will be returned when the users makes selections. See Serial Bluetooth Connections from your Mobile Phone to you PC for details on making bluetooth connections from you mobile to Window, Mac and Linux.

For BLE connection problems see Tips for Connecting to BLE devices below and Help pfodApp has stopped working when I changed phones / recreated the connection. For Classic Bluetooth connection problem see this page.

SMS Version of pfodApp

In March, 2019, Google Play started removing apps that included SMS permissions. Apps can apply for exemptions but Google Play rarely grants them. Although pfodApp provides a legitimate use of SMS for connecting to pfodDevices over 2G/3G SMS networks, Google Play refused to host pfodApp with SMS capabilities. pfodApp still supports SMS, but the version available from Google Play has it disabled. If you want to control your devices via SMS, or you want to update your existing pfodApp to the latest version, but including SMS support, then install pfodApp from Google Play and then contact pfod.com.au via support email to obtain pfodApp with SMS support.

Help pfodApp has stopped working when I changed phones / recreated the connection

When you change phones and re-install pfodApp on your new phone, you will need to re-create the connection to your pfodDevice. If you find pfodApp is now just repeatedly re-connecting, then open the new connection you have just created and set the “KeepAlive in Seconds” to 0 AND un-tick the “Request pfodDevice time {@}” option, as shown below

Also make sure the old mobile is switched off so it is not holding the connection and preventing the new mobile connecting.

The pfodApp connection will now operate as it did in your old version.

By default, new connections on the latest versions of pfodApp, send a 'Current' time request, {@} on connection AND send KeepAlive cmds, { }, every 5sec when idle.
The pfodSpecificiation says ALL un-recognized commands must be responded to, to prevent the connection timing out. The pfodDesigner generates code that sends back an empty response, {}, for all un-recognized commands.

However some pfodDevices are coded to only handle their expected commands and just ignore all others, not sending any response. These pfodDevices will timeout about 10 secs after it connects and start re-connecting, without displaying the main menu, due to pfodApp sending the {@} command to enable Date/Time plots and the pfodDevice not responding to it.
Open the Connections screen and select Add/Edit and open your new connection. Then un-tick the “Request pfodDevice time {@}” option, to disable sending the {@} cmd.

You will then be able to connect and display the main menu, however after about 15sec of doing nothing the pfodApp will disconnect and start re-connecting again. This is due pfodApp sending a KeepAlive message after 5 secs on idle to see if the pfodDevice is still in range.
To fix this, open the Connections screen and select Add/Edit and open your new connection. Then set the “KeepAlive in Seconds” to 0 to disable KeepAlive messages.

Tips for Connecting to BLE devices

If pfodApp has trouble re-connecting to your BLE device, use the nRF Connect app to connect first. Deleting and re-creating the connection in pfodApp also works.

If you have trouble connecting to your BLE device try these steps:-
i) Check out the “Help pfodApp has stopped working” tips above.
ii) Move closer to your BLE device, you may be out of range.
ii) Turn off all other Android devices. One of them may be holding the connection.
iii) Open Settings on your Android mobile and click on the Bluetooth option (make sure Bluetooth is turned on) and then “Search for Devices” OR “Pair new device”. NOTE: You don't want to pair a BLE device, just have you mobile find it. If you cannot see your device there, the you cannot connect, see points i) and ii) above. If the Bluetooth Setting finds your BLE device, go back to pfodApp and connect to it.
iv) Try turning Bluetooth OFF, restarting your mobile and then turn Bluetooth ON again. This clears out the mobiles bluetooth software.
v) Install Nordic's nRF UART V2.0 app from Google Play and see if it can connect.

pfod^TM Message Parsers

Parses for the pfod messages sent by the pfodApp are currently available for Arduino here.

What is pfod?

The Protocol For Operation Discovery (pfod) is simple request/response protocol for use with micro-controllers. Think HTML replacement, but with a much simpler format and much shorter messages designed for ease of coding in a micro processor. The pfodApp functions as micro-browser and the pfodDevice is the micro-server.

pfod Specification V3 – For the complete pfod specification download the pfodSpecification.pfd. (includes sample screen shots of how the various messages are displayed by pfodApp V3.0 for Android)
For J2ME mobiles there is a more limited application available here which does not implement the full specification.

How to connect your Mobile to your PC or Mac via Bluetooth

You can just connect to your PC via bluetooth to test out how your micro-pages will be displayed on the pfodApp and what message will be returned when the users makes selections. See Serial Bluetooth Connections from your Mobile Phone to you PC for details on making bluetooth connections from you mobile to Window, Mac and Linux.
