I see great potential for this device in aerial photography. Is there -- or can there be -- a published API for communicating with the UNLEASHED device? I would still be purchasing the hardware; just not the app. Thanks!
Hi David,
We are considering it, yes. We're not sure we can support any efforts from third parties properly, so we won't make it an official thing, but will do our best to at least partially document it.
The Unleashed has two connection possibilities.
First, it has a peripheral role, with the full API for our app. We don't want to publish everything here, as it would make it very difficult to split our internal documentation that contains much of our IP, into publishable parts and internal parts for maintainability reasons. the Unleashed can handle only one connection at a time here.
Second, it can be a central role, which can connect to up to 7 peripherals. We use this to connect to "Accessories" such as GPS receivers. Here we can implement a "limited API" peripheral, such as connecting to an Airplane GPS or Software that will also trigger the camera at certain intervals or GPS positions.
The good thing about this is that the Unleashed can connect to multiple Accessories at once, as well as (optionally) remaining connected to our app.
What functionality would you need the API for? just GPS+triggering, or even more?
