Windows for Makers: Raspberry Pi 2, Arduino and More

In this session you’ll learn about how to leverage the value of Windows when building these next generation devices based on hardware like the Raspberry Pi 2, as well as how to extend your Windows devices with the capabilities provided by .NETMF and Arduino. Will demonstrate how to extended the platform to include support for popular Internet of Things (IoT) hardware interfaces (like GPIO and I2C) to enable you to build rich devices based on the Raspberry Pi 2 (from fun DIY arcade machines through life-saving flood-detection systems) Additionally it will teach you how to use remote wiring and virtual shields open-source libraries to create innovative new solutions. With remote wiring you can add Arduino Wiring calls into your apps that execute on a remotely (BT) connected Arduino device; similarly with virtual shields library you will learn how to expose your device’s capabilities to a remotely connected Arduino device. Finally show you the latest improvements have been made to the .NETMF and how these are being leveraged by other partners to create compelling new hardware.
