DESCRIPTION:
"Finally my iPad can interface with the real world! techBASIC is the easiest and most intuitive programming tool I have ever used. This book really makes me want to explore my creative ideas for controlling things with my iPad."-- Jarle BoeWireless Evangelist, Texas Instruments
Not on my iphone The book explains how to use your iphone to make all the cool projects of metal detector, tricorder (not much into star trek to appreciate its need), bluetooth low energy shield. This process helped me understand my iphone and its innards better. The author had a good consideration about his audience being from a software or hardware background but not both and maintained that bridge connection to make the readers feel at ease. That said the book still requires a good amount of coding skill. since the book is about very specific projects, it caters to a very narrow niche of makers. The book would have done with a general expans. Robert M said Good book with a few caveats. The book has lots of great examples of programming your iPad/Iphone using a language called techBASIC.techBASIC is used to avoid the need for a full-blown development system using Objective C and does not require payment to Apple to join the developer program. The first few projects are based only on the iOS devices internal sensors such as accelerometer and magnetometer.Some caveats:1. The most projects require external hardware that must be purchased separately. For example, some use a $"Good book with a few caveats" according to Robert M.

So you want to build a tricorder I've always thought Apple missed a major opportunity by not releasing an SDK for the iPod nano 5G when it first came out. It's kind of a moot point now because the BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi are a lot cheaper and aren't tied to an ecosystem that's designed to enforce stability at all costs, but iOS still has a fair amount to recommend it. So, if you need a book for that this isn't quite it. (But it'll probably serve your purpose anyway.)See, this book is mistitled. It's actually a book about the TechBASIC environment and how to use it to interact with the outside using something other than the Lightning port. The languag
Why simply play music or go online when you can use your iPhone or iPad for some really fun projects, such as building a metal detector, hacking a radio control truck, or tracking a model rocket in flight? Learn how to build these and other cool things by using iOS device sensors and inexpensive hardware such as Arduino and a Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Shield.This hands-on book shows you how to write simple applications with techBASIC, an Apple-approved development environment that runs on iOS devices. By using code and example programs built into techBASIC, you’ll learn how to write apps directly on your Apple device and have it interact with other hardware.Build a metal detector with the iOS magnetometerUse the HiJack hardware platform to create a plant moisture sensorPut your iPhone on a small rocket to collec
