EAGLE Viewer for iOS

I've made quite a lot of progress on my EAGLE Viewer for iOS. Firstly, it's not just iPad anymore – now all functionality is on iPhone too.

Secondly, it now displays both schematic and board files.

And a lot of other improvements:

  1. Layers
  2. Popup showing component info when tapping an object
  3. Auto-diameter for pads

Here's a couple of screenshots:

There is still a lot of stuff remaining. I'm not looking forward to the "polygon pour" drawing routine. I can parse the draw the polygons fine, but I need to not fill the polygon where there are other signals, holes and keepouts. Tricky stuff...

Nice work! Since you're an iOS developer and you own a cc2540 kit, like I do, I was curious if you have been able to get the cc2540 dongle from TI to work with the iOS simulator? I know apple has disabled the bluetooth dongle support in the os 7.0 simulator , but I am running 6.1.

@Joseph: I don't actually have a CC2540 dongle so I've never tried...

Looks promising! I think it would be useful to have a UISwitch to prevent the iDevice from going to sleep. Could be handy when soldering and not having to unlock the screen every now and then.

Fantastic, really excellent idea, so look forward to this appearing in the store. Please keep up the good work. Would be very happy to pay for this, even if only basic functionality.
