Kolbe,
Thanks for your reply. I am very happy that you have already device mode working. I will be waiting to release your updated version!

Forgot to mention also that you need to do ioio.initialize or else the ioio won't connect.

kolbe · Jan 28, 2014

Just posted version 2.02 of the library. This version supports connecting the IOIO as a device. Also added some small improvements and fixes. You can now see the connections supported by your device with the string returned by IOIO.Initialize.

Kolbe,
Thanks for the updated version and especially for your fast replies! I've already tested it (ioio as a device) with my application and works like a charm! Now we can use ioio with a lot of alternative ways and this enable us to face every project's limitations.

Kolbe/gmilias, I have brought my ioio board to my summer vacation to do some small tests (I brought just one sensor > sharp proximity). I'm trying to use ioio as a device with my galaxy s4 (android 4.2). It is not working. I'm doing something wrong but i don't know what.

Is it ok?
a) Turn off USB debugging
b) A-B usb cable between ioio and galaxy (red usb cable that comes with ioio board + normal black usb cable)
c) ioio Firmware: Hardware version: SPRK0020, Bootloader version: IOIO0400, Application version: IOIO0500
d) B4A appp: workbench 232, ioio library 2.02
e) ioio jumper: Automatic (host just for ioio 12v with bluetooth)

The ioio red power LED don't turn on when connecting ioio to galaxy. (Misha Seltzer's led turn on > )
When pressing connection button on ioio workbench 232 app, error > Exception connection lost

Any idea?
Thanks!

Mrodriguez,
You have to use an otg cable (not the red one with ioio otg because it cannot be plugged in your s4) to be connected with your galaxy s4 and another cable male A to micro B (like this that you use in order to connect your s4 with the pc) to be connected with the ioio otg. Only then you can power the ioio by the s4.
Good luck.

Kolbe, you should open a paypal donate account to recieve money for your job.
Agraham did it and I have donated him 75 usd for his usb2serial library.
I think this is the best way to say THANK YOU.

gmilias, it works! Thanks

Kolbe, ioio as device works but i can't reconnect it. I have to unplug ioio from my celular in order to close the app when conection error appears.
Any idea? The bug happens in yatai demo app too?
Thanks

kolbe · Feb 14, 2014

Why is there a connection error? The best would be to look at the logs and see why and then avoid the problem. As far as I know there isn't a way to avoid unplugging to reestablish connection once the connection is corrupted.

I see Ytai updated to 5.03 in the last couple days so I'll update once I get a chance.

mrodriguez · Feb 18, 2014

Kolbe, after some tests the bug is on Rikomagic IV device, it not happens over Galaxy S4.
I tested the HelloIOIO.apk from Ytai website with the same result.
The problem appears when i press disconnect button. It didnt rise an error, just stay on CONNECTED state. I have to unplug the IOIO in order to change it to DEAD state.
Thanks

B4A Demo for IOIO

I have just received my IOIO and put together a B4A version of the IOIOHello demo. It toggles the yellow stat LED on the IOIO.

The B4A library works fine for this demo.

The only issue I had was that the application requires the android.permission.INTERNET permission. I found this on the IOIO wiki. There is a comment in the project source code with details.

Demo project is attached.

Hi,
I just try to use your program as a first step for creating own ioio-applications.
It did not work.
I couldn't find the "AndroidManifest.xml File" and don't know where the project's root is.
I found under "Project" a "Manifest Editor", where you can only change one file and added under
"Add Manifest text" what you wrote.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET">
</uses-permission>)
But trying to compile I see:
Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Unknown type: ioio
Are you missing a library reference?
Occurred on line: 34
Dim YOYO As IOIO

Can you help me?

Erel · May 11, 2014

You should use AddPermission(android.permission.INTERNET) to add the permission.

Make sure to check IOIO in the libraries tab.

The post you are replying to is nearly 3 years old! Things have changed since then. See this post.
Download the library and workbench app zip files. Put the library in the additional libraries folder and the app in a folder of your choice. Open the workbench app in B4A and compile. If B4A is setup correctly, it should be as easy as that to get started.

Many thanks for your quick replies, Erel and kolbe,
I tried to do what you told me (I think it was not the same from both of you

) and am very sad there is no success.
I downloaded the workbench 2.02 zip and started it, controlled the libraries (there are ioiobt version 1.61 and ioiolibbt in my list) and added "AddPermission(android.permission.INTERNET)" in the Manifest Editor. I still have a similar error when trying to compile:
Parsing code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Unknown type: ioio

Occurred on line: 43
Dim ioio1, ioio2, ioio3 As IOIO
I fear I am too stupid for this

but would be very thankful if you give me another try

??

"ioiobt" is an old library you need the simple "ioio" one. Go to your additional library folder and delete all the ioio related jar and xml files. Recopy the ioio.jar and ioio.xml that you downloaded from the link above. When you load the app, in the library tab, it should then select the ioio library and once loaded display the version which should be 2.02. If you don't see this something is still wrong with your setup. Look in the forum on how to used additional libraries. The error you are seeing is because the app can't find the correct library to compile against.

You do not need to a use AddPermision with the workbench because all that is needed is already there. This was only the case in the very early libraries. Undo the changes you made to the manifest editor.

Thank you, I did as you told me but it still doesn´t work, now the error is

Hello to all,
today I received my IOIO board!
I followed all the instructions. I connect with a cable to usb otg tablet and the red LED lights up.

As the first test I thought about using workbench 232 with the library ioio202.
My problem comes when I try to compile the ioio workbench 232, shows:

Parsing code. 0.05
Compiling code. Error
Impossibile leggere oltre la fine del flusso.

if i try to open the designer shows:

An error occurred.
Error loading file.
Impossibile leggere oltre la fine del flusso.

If i try again after load 'main.bal', shows:
Generata eccezione di tipo 'OutOfMemoryException'.

What happens?Help

I'm a bit confused as to what you are trying to do.

You said you are trying to compile the workebench app but the current workbench app does not use waitforconnect. This method has been replaced by the connect method which workbench does use. You can't compile old code (intended for an older version of the library) with a new library or vice versa.

If you compile the latest version of workbench with the latest version of the library all should work.

Are you able to compile non IOIO applications??
Do you see the IOIO library in the library tab? What version is being reported?

Workbench 2.3 with library ioio2.02 and dialogs2.92. I am trying to start my first ioio-program with all this problems. Where from should I know which versions of different parts of the system belong together or are even compatible? In the tutorial I read I have to use API 8. Is this also wrong? The actual version is I think 16.
