A motorized development platform
Firmware Android application
A free open-source Android App for driving the
Buggy is available from mikroe.com/buggy. The App
talks to the Buggy through a wireless transceiver
click
™
board (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). It’s a great starting
point to develop your own original applications for
the Buggy, just open the project in your Android
SDK of choice (for example Android Studio, shown
here). But rst, spend some time driving the Buggy
around from your smartphone or tablet, just for fun.
Install the app on your smartphone or tablet
and take your Buggy to the road
If your clicker 2 board came with the Buggy as
part of a kit, then you’re all set — the rmware
compatible with the Android app shown on the
right is already installed.
If you’ve purchased only the Buggy by itself, no
problem. Clicker 2 and mikromedia boards have a
USB-HID bootloader which makes it easy to install
the rmware. All you have to do is download the
mikroBootloader application for your clicker 2 or
mikromedia board, along with the rmware, all
available from www.mikroe.com/buggy.
Then turn o the Buggy, detach the clicker 2
board, plug it to your computer via USB, and follow
the simple 4-step procedure in mikroBootloader.
If you’re making your own custom rmware for the
Buggy in mikroC
™
, mikroBasic
™
or mikroPascal
™
,
you’ll also upload it with the mikroBootloader.
