Romo iOS SDK

This project is a continuation of the Romo app and Romo SDK, an attempt to breathe life into the lovable but sadly discontinued, iPhone robot, Romo.

Where do I find the app?

Find the Romo X app on the App Store

How do I use the SDK in my own app?

The Romo SDK is a dynamic framework. You need to add RMShared and RMCore in project. In addition you need to add their respective dependencies. So the list comes down to:

• RMShared
• RMCore
• CocoaLumberjack
• NMSSH
• SocketRocket

For RMVision you need to download separately the OpenCV 2 iOS framework and place it under SDK/RMVision/RMVision/lib/OpenCV

You can use carthage update --platform iOS if you need to fetch or update the dependencies using Carthage. Don't forget to add all frameworks to the Embedded Binaries section under the General tab of your app's target.

Your app's info.plist should include the Supported external accessory protocols key with a value of com.romotive.romo to be able to connect to Romo.

Have a look in the HelloRMCore project as an example. Every framework is already checked out in the repo and you should be able to compile out of the box.
