Gonector 3.0 adds support for external cameras, Effon glove scanners, fast audio, and text-to-speech. Besides adding new features, we also optimized our existing code so that Gonector 3.0 can connect your devices much faster and is more responsive overall. We also added new examples and refurbished the old ones to help you get started.
Sound effects
With our functions, you can play a sound stored in a container: either once or in a loop. The sound plays in the background and does not stall your solution. You can pause or stop an active soundtrack, and even play multiple sounds at once!
For instance, you can implement a Geiger counter, with beep frequency changing based on proximity to a selected RFID tag.
Text-to-Speech
With the new Gonector_Speak function, your app can read out loud the contents of a text field or a variable. We support all Apple voices installed on your iPhone or iPad. You can select your language, and modify pitch, rate, and volume.
