This is a web base design tool to create interactive and responsive GUIs that can be served from your micro to either pfodApp and pfodWeb.
Using Serial any Arduino board can have an interactive GUI.
It generates complete Arduino sketches that can connect to pfodWeb.html via Serial, BLE or HTTP.
pfodWeb.html is included in the Arduino pfodParser library (V3.66+)
This code package includes all the necessary npm modules. Just install nodejs and then run one of the pfodWebDesigner batch files.
Do Not Use the pfodWebDesigner_install... batch files unless you want to do a clean install of the latest, possibly comprimised modules.
This animated gif shows a button controlling the Arduino board led from a web page. When the button is pressed, it immediately changes color to indicate it has been triggered. It also sends a command to the board to switch the LED. When the board responds, the message to pfodWeb updates the button's color and text.
The entire code that defines this GUI is contained in the Arduino sketch.
See pfodWeb Installation and Tutorials
pfodWebDesigner requires nodejs and other npm packages to be installed. The zip file of this release contains all the additional package so no additional downloads are required.
Of the compromised npm packages, only the debug package is used here and the version supplied here is V4.4.1 which is prior to the version compromised.
See How Safe is pfodWeb, pfodWebServer and pfodWebDesigner
If you want to do a clean download of the npm packages, not recommended, then delete the package-lock.json file and the node_modules sub-directory and run one of the pfodWebServer_install... batch files.
