IPadOS 13 Inclusion of Mouse Support Will Be a Boon to Assistive Technology
It has been announced that iPadOS 13, this fall will finally include support for USB and Bluetooth mouse capabilities. Because there are so many assistive technology devices available that emulate a mouse, this will be a great help to users of assistive technology in addition to the already excellent support for switch control. In this video from Abel Net learn about the details of this upcoming exciting feature. All of the time the video suggests it will also be available for iPhone iOS 13 we have not been able to independently verify that.
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, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, 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.
