I did a little, but then got blocked due to apple making it next to impossible to use any external devices with it unless either "approved by apple (big money, lots of time) or if it's WIFI, and so far I haven't located an affordable wifi/rs232 ready made device. I could make it work with a hacker board, but it requires jailbreaking the end user's phone and I don't know how many people are willing to do that.
I think most of the 'Squirt-heads here wouldn't have a problem Jailbreaking their phones/devices if it meant you could tune your car with your iPhone/iPad, etc.
With the proper 'break, an iOS device still works just fine and it opens up a world of apps you didn't have before. Basically it makes the device more like an Android, for good and bad reasons.
If you'd like to play with a iPhone 3G, let me know I have one available. I'd love to be able to Datalog the MegaSquirt and use the sensors in the phone to collect vehicle performance data.
Using something like RaceRender to combine the data with video content would make for some wicked cool videos to show friends and family.
BTW, I think you can hack a factory iPhone cable to get around the hardware handshake a little by using the dock connector with the proprietary chip built into it. I'll have to find some links to how to do this.
Really appreciate the work you're doing on this, it really helps make using MegaSquirt that much easier.
