Read iPhone accelerometer gyroscope data in C#

Question

See more:

Is there a C# library somewhere to read the gyroscope and/or accelerometer from an iPhone or iPad connected to a Windows7 PC via bluetooth? I mean, is this sort of thing even possible?

I've looked at things like MobileDevice.dll, Manzana, and SharePodLib, but at the least those seem to get file data only. Can the orientation data be read somehow (other than with ObjectiveC, Unity, etc.)?

Are you using Mono? You could P/Invoke the native library.

No I'm not. I can find stuff for application programming on iPhone, but this isn't an iPhone application...it's a x64 PC application. I just want to be able to talk to the iPhone

Wait a second. What is your way of using C# for iPod then?

Well, I was hoping to connect the iPhone to the PC via bluetooth, as the question says.

C# on what platform? Ah, I think I see, on Windows 7. Well, what's on the iPhone/iPad side? Java socket, server (listening) side, I would guess? It's awkward to connect raw sockets on different platforms/languages, but quite possible, you just need identical data at the level of streams, could also be XML...

Nothing is made for iPhone yet. I was hoping there was a library that allowed the reading of the orientation data without writing anything for the iPhone (as there are for reading/writing file content). I was hoping I could allow for iphone/ipads to be connected to the application as an alternative control device to push around things in the application.

Of course you can. iPod/iPad part should be a server...

How do you mean?

If depends. What do you have for programming on iPod/iPad side, to communicate via Bluetooth?
I never did Bluetooth networking, but it should be possible:
