Generic variables
Project values such as timers, thresholds, brightness levels, calibration settings and operating modes can be exposed as understandable settings instead of hidden constants inside a sketch.
App
Elementic Android app functionality
The Elementic Android app is there to make Arduino projects simple to configure. Instead of making users dive into code first, the app should present a clear project layer for generic variables, inputs, outputs and EEPROM-backed settings.
Key features
Inputs and outputs
The app should let users configure what the project reads and what it drives. That means mapping real inputs and outputs in a guided way rather than relying on trial and error.
EEPROM-backed persistence
Configured settings should survive restarts. EEPROM support makes it possible to store the chosen project configuration on the board and load it again after a reboot.
What the app should make easy
Configure a project without editing code first
Users should be able to select a supported device, expose the relevant settings, and assign inputs or outputs with much less friction.
Present project structure clearly
The app can explain a project in a few understandable layers: generic variables, inputs, outputs and pin mapping.
How app and firmware cooperate
The Arduino firmware owns runtime behavior: reading inputs, driving outputs, applying generic variables and saving or loading settings from EEPROM.
The Android app owns the configuration experience: it helps users understand the device definition and choose the right project settings.
Laravel ties both sides together by storing supported devices, pin maps, controller relations and starter code.
