Hi,
This is my first attempt at creating an app for Android/iOS smartphones. Here's our scenario:
We wrote an app for a device that reads CO2 data from a sensor. The device can plug into a desktop or a laptop and then read the data from the sensor. The app connects to the sensor via a serial port.
But now, we want to convert this app to plug into a smartphone instead of a laptop/pc. My question is, how will the smartphone read off data from the sensor? Is there a "serial port" in smartphones? I would like to eventually
have the device send data via wi-fi or Bluetooth . But for now, it's using USB cable.
This maybe a dumb question. Appreciate any insight from anyone who has experience developing apps for smartphones.
