Expert Topic for experienced builders.
Overview
Bottango provides the included open-source Arduino compatible firmware so you can communicate with the Bottango application using an Arduino compatible microcontroller. Bottango also provides an example Python implementation of the driver code for networked communication. If you were so inclined, you could implement your own microcontroller or networked code from scratch to respond to the Bottango driver API on any kind of microcontroller or network capable machine.
You can monitor all incoming and outgoing serial commands in the Bottango application using the log. This can be a helpful tool to understand how Bottango works behind the scenes.
