If you want to write an app on the iPhone to control the GPIO pins (or really do anything on the Pi), check out my github repo: https://github.com/davidahouse/PiTalk
Nothing revolutionary, but I’m not sure that a lot of people know about the usbmuxd method for communicating with the iPhone (I know I didn’t). This method also works for the BeagleBone (and really any Linux computer).
And of course I used the Adafruit Raspberry Pi distribution. I think the future I would like to expand the app a bit to include some of the nice features of the Adafruit distribution.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
