Making simple Android apps to control Puck.js

Hi Guys,

I've just released a DroidScript plugin that you can use to easily make native Android apps (using JavaScript) that control and program your Puck. This plugin also works with older Android devices (as long as they support BLE), so you probably won't need to upgrade your phone :)

The plugin allows you to easily perform common tasks such as controlling the LEDs, reading the battery level, detecting button presses and getting the temperature, setting the NFC url etc. It also allows you to send complete JavaScript programs to the puck and read the console output(check out the 'Save code on the Puck' example which you can run straight from the docs)

It only takes 1 minute to install DroidScript and download the PuckJs plugin, so please give it a go and let me know what you think of it and if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Pretty slick I have to say. Now I'm reading all about DroidScript. Was previously unaware of it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
