O'Reilly 9781449308483 iOS Sensor Apps With Arduino

Alasdair Allan, 2011, 128 pages.

This concise guide shows how to use an iPhone or iPad as the hub of an Arduino controlled distributed sensor network. Learn how to connect an external sensor to an iOS device and enable them to communicate via Arduino. Amongst the projects tackled in this book is the building of an iOS application that will parse received sensor values and plot the output in real time. Devices that use iOS process data from their own onboard sensors. Using Arduino the reach of such devices can be extended, with the guide explaining the basics of Arduino and the other required hardware components.
