Why simply play music or go online when you can use youriPhone 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 howto build these and other cool things by using iOS device sensors andinexpensive 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 usingcode and example programs built into techBASIC, you’ll learn how to write appsdirectly on your Apple device and have it interact with other hardware.
