Arduios

Arduios is like a operating system for the arduino, it enables you to use a sketch in different use cases, without having to upload a new one every time.

Usage

It's very simple to use the Arduios, as it has a simple shell app that enables you to communicate with it through the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE.

The Commands are

help. - shows all available commands
list. - shows all available apps
load:app_name. - loads an app from registry

Note that theres alway a point behind them. This is needed because of the way the shell works.

Creating your own apps

It's also very simple to create your own Arduios apps.

First you need to download the latest Arduios release, with that done, create a new sketch and add the Arduios.zip to the Arduino IDE libraries. Now add a new file to the sketch called TestApp.h .

This is how a basic Arduios app looks like

#ifndef __TESTAPP_H_INCLUDED__
#define __TESTAPP_H_INCLUDED__

#include <Arduios_Kernel.h>

class TestApp: public App {
    
    String getName() {
      // return your app name here
      return "TestApp";
    }
    
    void setup() {
      // put your setup code here, to run once:
      Serial.begin(9600);
      Serial.println("TestApp begin");
    }
    
    void loop() {
      // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
      Serial.println("TestApp loop");
      delay(1000);
    }
    
} testApp;

#endif

To finish you need to add the app to the kernel and call the kernel.setup() and kernel.loop() methods. Your sketch should look like this:

#include <Arduios_Kernel.h>
#include "TestApp.h"

void setup() {
  kernel.addApp(testApp);
  kernel.setup();
}

void loop() {
  kernel.loop();
}

Congrats! you've just created your first Arduios app.
