Have you ever thought of using your iPhone or iPad as a remote control? Have you wanted to make cool electronics projects, but you weren't sure where to start? In Arduino and iOS Projects, you'll find a lot of cool gadgets you can make with Arduino and control with your iOS device. No development experience necessary! Using JavaScript-based Node.js and the easy-to-learn Arduino language, you'll first learn how to select the best Arduino for you, how to get it up and running, then how to get it to talk to your iPhone or iPad.

Once you've got these basics down, you'll have a variety of fun projects to choose from: a light switch controller, a candy grabber, a hacked remote control car, a proximity sensor, and even an NFC reader and an iBeacon.

If you'd like to try these projects with both the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi, you can also pick up Raspberry Pi and iOS Projects and see the same projects done using Raspberry Pi instead of Arduino. Author Gavin Williams will walk you through both flavors of iOS-controlled projects. And if you really want to see how Arduino can easily work with iOS, Arduino and iOS Projects is definitely the book for you.
