Using Cyton to stream 8 channels to iOS app via Bluetooth
Hi, I have an 8 channels Cyton Board which I just purchased. Is it possible to stream all 8 channels raw data to an iOS app directly via Bluetooth (BLE - using iOS CoreBluetooth Framework) without using the USB Dongle? Cause I saw people discussing in the forum and talking about BLE limitation and the use of Gazell Protocol which limits Cyton Board not being able to discover using regular BLE stack. Would someone shed some light on this and give me some pointers? Thanks in advance.

Frank, hi.
Normally, one would recommend Wifi Shield to enable such transfer, since BLE is too slow.
And... Caution about over optimism with Wifi Shield operation is noted on the Shop page,

Hi William, Thank you so much for your advice. Let me look into the Wifi Shield then. That said, just curious, is there any example out there that has successfully made the latest Cyton BLE version works on iOS? Best, Frank
