Mates Studio
An Integrated Development Environment designed to be used with Breadboard Mates products, providing several options for graphical applications. This includes four feature-rich environments that can be utilized to use existing or create new graphical user interface designs as well as write custom applications.


Four Development Environments

Commander
This environment enables users to select and utilize different page designs/layouts from a built-in collection provided by the Breadboard Mates team and its community to produce nice-looking GUI applications quickly.
This output program features an easy-to-use-and-understand Mates Serial Command Protocol that allows users to control the display using their favourite microcontrollers. It also includes an easy to use interface that simulates a microcontroller controlling the display programmed with a Commander project.
Architect
This environment provides users with more flexibility with their projects by designing their custom page layouts using a collection of configurable graphical widgets, allowing unique widgets and page designs.
Saved widget configurations can be loaded and used in Architect, Genius and Builder projects. Saved page configurations can also be used in the Commander environment.
Like the Commander environment, the Architect utilizes the same command protocol and host controller simulator.


Genius
This environment allows users to design their widget and page layouts and write their program to control how the widgets in the display will behave directly. Genius also enables users to create custom features/functionality that they need, which Commander and Architect environments cannot provide.
Saved widget configurations can be loaded and used in Architect, Genius and Builder projects. Saved page configurations can also be used in the Commander environment.
Unlike Commander and Architect environments, this environment does not include the Mates Serial Command protocol.
Builder
This environment will provide users with similar capabilities as the Genius environment. The main difference between Genius and Builder is simply the method of programming the display. While Genius allows users to write their code, this environment enables users to design their project flow using graphical programming in blocks.
This environment will be released soon.
