new scuba apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch

Post by spatman »

you'll need itunes installed to view these links:

Dive Planner - pretty basic planning tool for OW divers

Nitrox Tools - handy for determining EAD, MOD, best mixes, and a few other calculations.

is the USB port on the iPhone only for charging it or docking it to a computer -- or can you plug other peripherals into the iPhone?

hm, not sure. buy me an iphone and i'll let you know! \:D/

seriously, through, i'm pretty sure you can't use it that way, yet. i know a couple folks that have iPhones and have read a bit about them, and never heard that mentioned.

it has wifi though, so you could transfer data that way. what format is the data in, though? would the iphone be able to read it anyway?

if i can program the iphone through the USB interface, i can read it. the documentation on how to address the memory in the sensor is publically available.

the sensus doesn't have a wifi interface, so i'd need to hook it up to a computer anyway, which defeats the purpose...
