Martin, I think your best bet here would be with a human reader, either using VisWiz, or TapTapSee. I imagine you would either isolate the wire you want read, or at least put a little clamp onto it for identification. Otherwise, you could use Skype or FaceTime to have a reader help you in the me

One of the more interesting things I have wanted to do with the camera in an iPad/iPhone is using it to read wire colors. The problem is that many wires are not one simple color. In an Ethernet cable, for instance, there are 8 wires that are colored in such a way as to allow a technician to
