JacquardToolkit

JacquardToolkit is a iOS framework to enable developers to develop their own applications using their Levi's Jacquard.

What can I do with the Toolkit?

• Enable your applications bluetooth to start searching nearby devices
• Ability to easily connect with your own Levi's Jacquard
• Send a rainbow glow to your jacket
• React to gesture the user performs on their jacket
• Access each specific threads value at any point in time
• Play gesture tutorial videos for your users
• Tell if you are currently connected to your jacket

Installation

JacquardToolkit is currently only available as a Cocoapod.

1. Add a pod entry for JacquardToolkit to your Podfile:

pod 'JacquardToolkit'

2. Update your Popdfile by running:

pod update

3. Don't forget to include the necessary import statement in your target class:

import JacquardToolkit

Development

1. Add the 'Privacy - Camera Usage Description' to your Info.plist:

2. Enable your device's bluetooth capabilities and connect to your jacket by passing in your jacket's UUID:

import UIKit
import JacquardToolkit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        JacquardService.shared.activateBluetooth { _ in 
            JacquardService.shared.connect(viewController: self)
        }
    }
}

3. Send a colorful rainbow glow to your jacket:

@IBAction func glowButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.rainbowGlowJacket()
}

4. Use the JacquardServiceDelegate to react to all of the user gestures (including Double Tap, Brush In, Brush Out, Cover, Scratch & Force Touch):

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    JacquardService.shared.delegate = self
}

extension ViewController: JacquardServiceDelegate {

    func didDetectDoubleTapGesture() {
        //Detected Double Tap Gesture
    }

    func didDetectBrushInGesture() {
        //Detected Brush In Gesture
    }

    func didDetectBrushOutGesture() {
        //Detected Brush Out Gesture
    }

    func didDetectCoverGesture() {
        //Detected Cover Gesture
    }

    func didDetectScratchGesture() {
        //Detected Scratch Gesture
    }

    func didDetectForceTouchGesture() {
        //Detected Force Touch Gesture 
    }
    
    func didDetectZoomInGesture() {
        //Detected Zoom In Gesture 
    }
    
    func didDetectZoomOutGesture() {
        //Detected Zoom Out Gesture 
    }

}

5. Additionally, you can uncover the values of each specific thread:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    JacquardService.shared.delegate = self
}

extension ViewController: JacquardServiceDelegate {

    func didDetectThreadTouch(threadArray: [Float]) {
        //Dected an array of 15 values that represent 
        //the intensity each thread is being touched by
    }

}

6. Show your user how to correctly perform the gestures with tutorial videos:

@IBAction func doubleTapTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playDoubleTapTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

@IBAction func brushInTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playBrushInTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

@IBAction func brushOutTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playBrushOutTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

@IBAction func coverTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playCoverTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

@IBAction func scratchTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playScratchTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

@IBAction func forceTouchTutorialButtonTapped(_ sender: Any) {
    JacquardService.shared.playForceTouchTutorial(viewController: self, showDismissButton: true)
}

Be sure to check out the example application for more information (JacquardToolkitExample).
