RemoteXY is a platform for creating and using graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for microcontroller devices. If you want to connect to a device, install the app and follow the instructions from the device developer. If you are a developer, use the RemoteXY platform to its full potential. Create custom user graphical interface (GUI) using the editor located at https://remotexy.com The editor will automatically create a source code template for the Arduino IDE. The source code contains support for the selected communication method for the selected controller and includes a fully functional graphical interface. Integrate your task with the graphical interface, it's very easy following the detailed documentation and examples. Upload the source code to the board. Then use this application to connect to your board and control it using your graphical interface. Develop graphical control interfaces for various devices, both for yourself and for your clients. Supported connection methods: - Internet anywhere over Cloud Server; - WiFi client and access point; - Bluetooth; - Ethernet by IP or URL; - USB OTG; Supported boards: - Arduino UNO, MEGA, Leonardo, Pro Mini, Nano, MICRO and compatible AVR boards; - ESP8266 boards ; - ESP32 boards; - STM32F1 boards; - nRF51822 boards.

DSD TECH Bluetooth is now diBlue. Version 2.4 updates the same app under its new name; existing users can update their current installation. diBlue is a practical workspace for compatible Bluetooth Low Energy devices and DSD TECH relay modules. Discover devices, exchange Text or HEX data and keep frequently used commands close at hand. FIND AND ORGANIZE DEVICES - Scan nearby BLE devices and view their names and signal strength. - Save favorites and assign local aliases without changing the hardware name. - Switch between All and Favorites, view device details and choose a device type. - Copy a device's iOS UUID from its details. This identifier is not its hardware MAC address. - Hide unrelated devices from discovery results and restore them from Settings when needed. SEND COMMANDS AND REUSE YOUR WORK - Send and receive Text or HEX data. - Send once or repeat at a chosen interval, with a stop control. - Choose None, CR, LF or CRLF line endings for text commands. - Reuse recent commands from History and save frequently used commands in Starred. - Selecting a saved command fills the input for review; it does not send automatically. - Read color-coded send and receive logs, with optional timestamps and automatic scrolling. CONTROL COMPATIBLE DSD TECH RELAYS - Detect the channel count on supported one- and four-channel modules. - View device-reported channel states and refresh them when needed. - Control individual channels or use All on and All off on four-channel modules. - Confirm control results through a follow-up status query to the device. CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE AND DISPLAY PREFERENCES The interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), German, French, Spanish (Spain), Italian, Portuguese (Portugal) and Japanese. Follow your system language or choose a language in Settings. You can also keep the screen on while connected and adjust log timestamps and automatic scrolling. LOCAL STORAGE, NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED diBlue contains no ads and requires no account. Device profiles, favorites, aliases, settings, command history and starred commands are stored locally. Apple-managed backups and device transfers may preserve this data according to your settings. COMPATIBILITY Requires iOS 15 or later and compatible BLE hardware. Classic Bluetooth SPP devices are not supported. Data transfer requires the supported FFE0 service and FFE1 characteristic; relay controls require the supported DSD TECH relay protocol. diBlue does not work with every Bluetooth device. Bluetooth permission is required to discover and connect to nearby devices. The app does not request location permission. Support: dsd_tech@outlook.com
