The language provides a way to tap into the accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope, and also to grab your current latitude-longitude, altitude, and more. There&#8217;s a separate sensor class for the HiJack hardware, a University of Michigan project to add small sensor packages to iOS devices. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byteworks.us\/Byte_Works\/Blog\/Entries\/2011\/12\/7_HiJack_Hello_world%21_Project.html\">techBASIC blog features an example app<\/a> showing how to grab readings from a HiJack-connected potentiometer. The potential here is huge &#8212; imagine being able to connect HiJack to a thermocouple to grab a temperature log through techBASIC, or to an anemometer to measure and track wind velocity on an iPad or iPhone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Basically, HiJack was created at the University of Michigan for creating cubic-inch sensor peripherals for mobile phones. HiJack can harvest power and use bandwidth from the cellphone\u2019s headset interface. And techBASIC makes it easy to manipulate data and plot the results from HiJack, making the data more sensible and useful. That\u2019s good to see an excellent app jumps up and works with HiJack to make things easier!<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Here\u2019s <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2011\/12\/prweb9014912.htm#http:\/\/seg.sharethis.com\/getSegment.php?purl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prweb.com%2Freleases%2F2011%2F12%2Fprweb9014912.htm&amp;jsref=&amp;rnd=1334289804475\">a previous review of techBASIC and HiJack<\/a><\/u>.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/hijack-development-pack-p-865.html?cPath=174\"><font size=\"2\">HiJack Development Pack is in-stock now!<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven writes for the TUAW \u2013 Perhaps one of the coolest features of techBASIC 2.0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[232],"class_list":["post-4098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-hijack"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Another review of techBASIC 2.0 &ndash;
