Read full description

EZ App Lynx is a smartphone/tablet application that pairs with a PIC over Bluetooth and allows the PICmicro to control the appearance and control of the GUI on the smartphone/tablet. This allows PICmicro developers an easy way to deploy sensors or controllers that can be controlled from a smartphone/tablet over Bluetooth. Since the PICmicro controls all aspects of the GUI, the user only needs to install one smartphone/tablet application that works across a broad variety of devices. This app requires a Bluetooth connection to a PICmicro using the CCS C Compiler with the EZ App Lynx library. Application and it's contents are copyright 2018 CCS, Inc.
