Post by tmig »

Is there an app that allows use of the 5mp usb microscope with an ipad? Android? That would be cool for taking kids outside and showing them magnified nature in situ. Has anyone tried this with any success?

Gracias,

Tom m.

Unfortunately, that can't work, since both the microscope and the tablets are USB client devices. They can only connect with a USB host device, lie a computer.

However, we have a WiFi microscope that works with an iPad
