Programming iPhone Sensors
O’Reilly Media is publishing a book on programming and communicating with sensor networks with iOS devices, called iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino.
The examples and apps in the book rely on the Redpark Serial Cable, which provides a dock-connector–to-RS-232-serial link for iPhone, iPad, and the iPod Touch. This cable makes communicating with an arduino, sensors, or other elements of the internet of things much easier. That’s exciting, because until now, the tight integration with Arduino-based devices and sensors was a major source of Android envy.
Interestingly, there doesn’t seem to be an option to pre-order an eBook from O’Reilly. I wonder why?
