App for reading sensors, etc., from the Puck on Android

I did a quick forum search and it doesn't look like anyone's talked about this app, so please forgive me if it's already been covered.

In any case, I had a Sensordrone years ago and used to take readings from it using an app called Sensors Toolbox from Mobili. On a random whim I downloaded their new replacement app called IoTool today and it just so happens to have a Puck plugin and you can collect live sensor and button readings pretty easily.

Thought I'd throw that out there if anyone might be interested.

P.S. No, I don't work for them or anything like that.

The naming is definitely confusing. This is the main app:

Ah! Tnx. After several failures this did install on my Samsung handset running Android 4.4.4. I have the puck.js extn installed too but I have not yet been able to connect to a puck.js.

Nice, thanks for posting up - it's great if it supports Puck.js!

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

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
