The brief
Challenge
Makers building Arduino and ESP32 robots each write a throwaway controller app, because no general-purpose one lets them lay out their own controls.
Approach
A Flutter app with a drag-and-drop widget editor — joysticks, sliders, D-pads, gauges — over Wi-Fi UDP and Bluetooth transports, plus an open-source Arduino library so the firmware side is a single include.
Outcome
- 200+ Play Store downloads and a public product site
- Library accepted into the official Arduino Library Manager registry
- Live MJPEG camera streaming from ESP32 hardware
Overview
RoboLink connects your phone to Arduino-based robots via Wi-Fi & Bluetooth — with a fully customizable controller interface. Built with Flutter, it features a drag-and-drop visual widget editor, live MJPEG camera streaming, multiple widget types (joysticks, buttons, sliders, D-pads, XY pads, gauges, triggers), layout save/load with preset templates, and automatic reconnection. Published on Google Play Store with an open-source Arduino Library on the official registry.
