The Arduino App Lab is the utility that builds “apps” for the Arduino Uno Q, the unique board that is both a microcontroller and a microcomputer.
Today, we will look at App Lab and use it to build a simple app. In the process, we will see how to use the Arduino Router Bridge, an RPC service that allows Python and C++ code to exchange data. Although our app is simple (and mostly useless), it will illustrate how the process works, and you can build on it to create more advanced apps of your own.
The version of APP Lab I am using is 0.3.2, and as the low version number implies, it is still very much a “work-in-progress.” The application has very limited features and numerous bugs. I’ll show you how to work around these and also share alternative code editors you can use instead of the App Lab.
