Receiving and sending custom data
The MiniBee firmware gives the possibility to add custom data exchange between the user software and the MiniBee. Custom sensor data (added with the function addCustomData) is just received along with the other sensor data with the /minibee/data message.
But in some cases you may want to send other data, e.g. in reply to a custom message that you sent to the MiniBee (with /minibee/custom) to confirm that it has been received. For this /minibee/private may be used.
/minibee/trigger can be sent from the MiniBee to send time critical data; e.g. you may check for changes in digital pins and send upon change, while the general sensor data is sent out less frequently.
/minibee/custom - iii..i
from user software to MiniBee
i- the ID of the MiniBeeii..i- as many integer values as you have defined in your custom firmware. You have to make sure in your user software that the integer values that you send are in the range of 0 to 255.
Also, make sure that the values you send correspond to how you interpret the data in the customMsgParser-function in your custom firmware.
/minibee/private - iii..i
from MiniBee to user software
i- the ID of the MiniBeeii..i- a number of integer data values that correspond to the private message that was sent.
/minibee/trigger - iff..f
from MiniBee to user software
i- the ID of the MiniBeeff..f- a number of floating point data values that correspond to the sensors that are attached. The order of these values is always:
