Overview

toio SDK for Unity is a Software Development Kit for controlling toio™ Core Cube (hereafter referred to as Cubes) in Unity.

toio SDK for Unity makes it easy to develop applications that use Cubes. In addition, the simulator function allows you to check the operation of Cube on the screen without using the actual device, so you can develop quickly and efficiently.

One of the key features of toio SDK for Unity is that it allows you to run both the simulator and the real Cube with a single source code, as shown below.

using UnityEngine;
using toio;

public class Hello_Toio : MonoBehaviour
{
    CubeManager cubeManager;
    Cube cube;

    async void Start()
    {
        // create a cube manager
        cubeManager = new CubeManager();
        // connect to the nearest cube
        cube = await cubeManager.SingleConnect();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // check connection status and order interval
        if(cubeManager.IsControllable(cube))
        {
            cube.Move(100, 70, 200);
            //         |    |   `--- duration [ms]
            //         |    `------- right motor speed
            //         `------------ left motor speed
        }
    }
}
