IoT Programming with Basic for iOS
The process of installing B4i involves interacting with the Apple Developer Program. In toDay's lecture, we will install B4i and perform all of the necessary steps to enable our B4i apps to be App Store ready.
Now that we have B4i installed, the content of toDay's lecture will focus on utilizing the tools that stand behind creating a B4i application. We will create our first B4i app using the Hosted Mac Builder, which eliminates the need for a local Mac computer.
When you really get down to it, IoT is all about data and moving it from point A to point B. ToDay, we will do just that using B4i, an iPhone and a tricky little IoT device.
When someone says 'IoT”, sensors immediately come to mind. This lecture will demonstrate how B4i can be used to support a number of commonly used IoT sensors. We will examine both the B4i and sensor side of the firmware creation process.
The final lecture of this series will pair B4i with an Bluetooth IoT device. We will craft our B4i Bluetooth app using B4i and Keil. The IoT hardware will be based on Nordic's series of nRF5 Bluetooth ICs.
