pfodDesigner V3 for pfodApp (www.pfod.com.au)pfod™ (Protocol For Operations Discovery)
There are two free companion app for pfodApp
https://www.forward.com.au/pfod/pfodGUIdesigner/index.html
and
https://www.forward.com.au/pfod/pfodDesigner/index.html
Both these free apps only generate the Arduino code. You need to purchase pfodApp to actually connect to the Arduino
pfodDesignerV2 to design menus/charts and generate Arduino code for a wide variety of boards and pfodGUIdesigner to design interactive GUI components, buttons, sliders, gauges etc and generate Arduino code.
Rev 3911 fixes the Android 11 and higher file save permission issue and allows you to save the generated code to the directory of your choice, including Google Drive

Latest release lets you create charts and log Arduino data on your mobile.
Create custom menus on your mobile to turn Arduino outputs on and off, quickly and easily via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Bluetooth V2, Wifi/Ethernet or SMS
No Arduino Programming required and no mobile programming required.
Generates Sketches for Adafruit Bluefruit Feather52, Ardunio 101 (Genuino 101), RedBear BLE NanoV2 and V1.5, RFduino BLE, Itead BLE Shield (HM_10 modules), Adafruit Bluefruit BLE Friends, ESP8266, FioV3, LinkIt ONE, WildfireV3, SIM900 GPRS, Arduino Ethernet, and WiFi and Bluetooth V2 shields, etc
This free application lets you interactively design and view pfodApp menus and generates all the required Arduino code to turn Arduino outputs on and off from your mobile, via pfodApp.
See the step by step tutorial on building a menu and generating the Arduino code at
http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/pfodDesigner/index.html
pfod menus consist of a scrollable list of buttons and some (possible blank) prompt text. pfodDesigner lets you create a menu, customise the prompt, add buttons, set the background colour, set the font colour, font size and font style. All with interactive preview. In app help is also available
When you are happy with how your menu looks the pfodDesigner will generate Arduino code that will display this menu on your mobile using pfodApp. You can specify the serial connection and baud rate to suit your hardware. No Android programming required. No mobile programming required.
pfodDesigner saves the code to a file on your mobile -- /pfodAppRawData/pfodDesignerV3.txt
The generated code also handles the commands returned when the user clicks the buttons
Copy this file to your computer and paste the code into the Arduino IDE.
(http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/Android_pfodApp/pfodAppForAndroidGettingStarted.pdf
covers copying pfodApp Raw Data files to your computer.)
If you choose On/Off toggle buttons then the pfodDesigner generates ALL the Arduino code need to turn your chosen output on and off.
If you choose simple buttons for you menu then the pfodDesigner generates the Arduino code need to send the menu and parser the commands.
All you need to do then is replace the place holder comments with your own Arduino action code for each button command
e.g.
} else if('A'==cmd) { // user pressed -- ON
// << add your action code here for this button
The pfodDesigner stores your designs so you can easily go back modify them as needed.
Email support if you need assistance.
Note about pfodDesignerV3 app code:
-----------------------------------------------
All pfodDesignerV3 screens are just standard pfod screens. The pfodDesignerV3 is actually just a copy of pfodApp with a back end added to save your data and serve up the various screens using standard pfod messages. Open the mobile's menu in the app and choose Debug View to see the pfod messages that are generating the pfodDesigner screens.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★This is a wonderful product for creating a BLE connection between embedded devices and Andoid smartphones. Works particularly well with nRF52 devices. Also, support goes above and beyond the line of duty to help with debugging issues.
1 ★This app does not save the generated code anywhere on my phone or sdcard, it's completely useless.
1 ★pointless
5 ★excellent for high speed data recording
5 ★A very sophisticated mature application with great functionality. It is a novel approach to GUI development and you truly can produce arduinio code with ease. Very well documented. Good support. Very professional all round.

5 ★In using this app, I have found that constructing a very user friendly and professional UI to be relatively easy. I have built a UI (to date), consisting of 59 items of a combination of sliders/buttons/and data displays, without using the app's advanced drawing/graphics capabilities. I have also built a UI using only the drawing/graphics features, which uses 23 buttons to control various aspects of the UI and associated Arduino Mega. Based on my experience, although many features of the app require a certain amount of work to learn, it is a very powerful app, with very impressive abilities.
