I have an IPAD air 2 which I would like to do Development on the train. Is it possible to connect my Arduino to my IPAD? If so, what do I need? and How?
Thanks in advance, Matt
I've never seen an Arduino IDE equivalent for the iPad, despite it being asked about here several times before. What you might be able to do is to use the Arduino Web Editor to write and compile code. It will not be possible for you to upload it to your Arduino board with the iPad, but this will allow you to work on your sketches and do a bit of testing on them at least.
Does the I-Pad support OTG adaptors ?
If so you may be able to use either the editor Per linked to or a third party app.

I'm very much not an iPad/iOS/etc. expert, but even with OTG, I don't think you'll be able to upload to the Arduino board from Arduino Web Editor. The reason is that the upload (e.g. avrdude, bossac) application needs to run on the iPad and I don't think they are available pre-compiled for the iPad.
I think you'd also need to figure out how to compile the Create agent for the iPad.
With OTG, you should be able to do serial communication with the Arduino board and mouse/keyboard/etc. emulation with the native USB Arduino boards though, just not upload sketches.
Quick check says they do support OTG.
Differing degrees of success though.
Thats disappointing. Currently I'm working with a display attached to my arduino. Would be nice to test my work as I go along.
Start looking around for a good deal on a used laptop. It doesn't need to be anything very high spec to run the Arduino IDE.
