I can't believe how advanced this product really is. Here's a link that's totally off the wall:

Hi Bill

yes I saw that ballistics calculator, the beauty of Iphone is the interface and the apps store that encourages people to write and develop products for it.

Did you also see this http://www.faberacoustical.com/products ... gnalscope/

Im looking for something up to date and compact to control my next project does anyone know much more about the iphone and if you can run some kind of control logic program and some cables to breakout of it with? I did see somewhere someone was using a pda to remotely control his gas turbine which was pretty kewl but i thought of taking the idea one step further to the iphone

Hi John

My first thought is cpu latency, how many spare processor cycles are available I wonder for doing other jobs in real time? it is a busy little device with a lot of background processes running at any one time, that has to limit what can be done in real time for control.

Break out interfacing is getting easier as I have seen a few people plugging stuff in to the main connector but were you would get hold of a connector I don't know, maybe scrap a spare cable or something.

Isolating the Iphone from any destructive feedback or ignition pulses would be worth focusing on, I would not think the standard contract covers this as fair use

Also I can say from experience that trying to run electronics in a 150dba sound field has its own problems, laptop screens shimmer and hard drives crash disastrously so, locating the computers away from the running engine and isolating the hard drive in foam was the solution, although a Iphone is solid state a big engine could still cause it problems if too close.

Hope that helps
