Hardware Driver Control

Expert Topic for experienced builders.

Big idea

There’s a limited set of functionality in the app that can be triggered from a hardware driver itself.

Bottango can be controlled by a connected driver as well. The set of functions is limited compared to REST API control, but those functions available to the driver behave identically to calls from REST API.

• Start / stop playing an animation from current animation and time
• Start / stop playing an animation with a given animation index and time
• Call “STOP” in Bottango (the same as pressing the escape key on the keyboard).

For more details, see the Bottango firmware documentation.
