Looks like Loomo's SDK is currently only available to enterprises and research institutes, so probably not something you could easily interface to ARC.

The fact that there is and SDK though, means that it is technically possible.

Yeah - if the company chooses to lock down the SDK to paying enterprise customers, there's no easy way to control it. It's too bad, because if the SDK were available, it's simple to build a plugin and voila, a real robot!

Here is a link to the Loomo Developer Forum

I did have a look at it but it looks a fairly complex job to use it

Yes... all the samples are in Java and the Loomo OS is Android

You don't have to write a program that runs on Android - it must have a TCP Server or some sort of MQTT or messaging or protocol or something that allows remote control of it. If there is, then it's super easy to whip up a plugin. I just need to see the documentation on it.

Get me a protocol manual, or even the SDK if it's in java or what ever.. I can make a Movement Panel for ARC super easily.

Hi,

I included a document which is a copy and paste of the SDK overview. I have also included the link to the online documentation ( no downloadable PDF is available). To access it you need to logon (it is free).

It would be great if you could make a Movement Panel for Loomo.

Thanks,

Peter

Their SDK is not open. Unless they publish a communication protocol specification, there's nothing i can do. I reviewed their developer page and the Connectivity class is what we need to see. There's nothing I can do at the moment based on what little they have given developers. They have only given android library documentation for an SDK with no documentation on the protocol. They have a very closed system.
