Yes. Below are your options for using Vernier “wired” sensors with iPad, iPhone, and Android phones and tablets.

Using a wireless (Wi-Fi) connection — Data Sharing

Data Sharing allows members of a lab group to collect data from wired sensors and stream the data wirelessly to their mobile devices. The following are options for a data sharing source:

  • ONLINE^ Data Sharing
    Computer* or Chromebook*
  • LOCAL Data Sharing
    LabQuest 3 (LABQ3) or LabQuest 2 (LABQ2)
    Logger Pro 3*

^Graphical Analysis Pro is required.
*An interface, such as LabQuest Mini (LQ-MINI) or Go!Link (GO-LINK), is required.

● How do I set up LabQuest 2 or LabQuest 3 and Graphical Analysis app to work together via wireless Data Sharing over Wi-Fi?
● How do I use the Data Sharing feature of Logger Pro to send data to Graphical Analysis app via Wi-Fi?

Using a wireless (Bluetooth) interface

Vernier had two Bluetooth interfaces that worked with mobile devices. However, due to parts availability, these interfaces are no longer available. If you happen to have one, they still can be used.

  • LabQuest Stream (LQ-STREAM) (discontinued)
  • Go Wireless Link (discontinued)

Using wireless (Bluetooth) sensors

As an alternative to our wired sensors, we have a full line of wireless sensors that support direct, wireless connections to phones and tablets. Wireless sensors include:
