Is there an app for writing and loading sketches from an iPad onto an Arduino?
I find all types of apps for the ipad that simulate Arduino hardware and sketches but none that will load a sketch onto a physical Arduino like my PC can.
If no app exists, why? (Go easy, I'm a noob and don't know much about the Arduino yet)

Well, to start the iPad and The Arduino can't talk to each other without additional hardware and neither device is a USB host (without additional hardware)If no app exists, why?

Actually I think this would work with some mod for the reset needed http://blog.makezine.com/2011/07/18/59- ... lbreaking/franklin97355 wrote:Well, to start the iPad and The Arduino can't talk to each other without additional hardware and neither device is a USB host (without additional hardware)
The issue after that would be to get the whole toolchain (avr-gcc, avrdude, etc) ported over to iOS. I have seen gcc ported over but it requires you to jail-break your iPhone/iPad.

dennisma, That is what I meant by "additional hardware". It might be an option to the OP if there is an app written to build the scripts.
