Class IOIOFactory

java.lang.Object
  ioio.lib.api.IOIOFactory

public class IOIOFactory
extends java.lang.Object

Factory class for creating instances of the IOIO interface.

This class acts as the single entry-point to the IOIO API. It creates the bootstrapping between a specific implementation of the IOIO interface and any dependencies it might have, such as the underlying connection logic.

Typical usage:

 IOIO ioio = IOIOFactory.create();
 try {
   ioio.waitForConnect();
   ...
   ioio.disconnect();
 } catch (ConnectionLostException e) {
 } finally {
   ioio.waitForDisconnect();
 }

Method Detail

create

public static IOIO create()

Create a IOIO instance. This specific implementation creates a IOIO instance which works with the actual IOIO board connected via a TCP connection (typically over a wired USB connection).

Returns:

The IOIO instance.

create

public static IOIO create(IOIOConnection connection)

Create a IOIO instance with a user-provided underlying connection class. This method should be used for establishing a non-standard connection to the IOIO board.

Parameters:

connection - An instance of a IOIO connection.

Returns:

The IOIO instance.
