BlueCube implements all of the API functions available for the cube, and adds the ability to pick any colour to use (and to managed a list of favourites), call any user defined patterns saved within the sketch, and to use “static” favourites (which is re-running a series of previously saved API commands).
To support the use of BlueCube, I’ve written a website that has all of the information on how to:-
- Wire up the cube
- Download and install all of the requirements
- How to use the apps
- Some basic troubleshooting steps
- How to setup the development environment
If you don’t want to worry about setting up the environment to deploy the apps to your own mobile, I’ve published them to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and they can be downloaded directly from there.
When creating this project, I learnt enough to achieve what I wanted, but I know that I haven’t done things in the best way possible. I’m more than happy for any suggestions or improvements that you have.
To see BlueCube in action, check out the video I’ve posted to YouTube (https://youtu.be/kitcSIoxmM4). It shows the iOS version, however the Android version of the app is the same.
