Login to Azure portal and search for IoT Hub: In this case we will send data collected by force sensor to the cloud. I decided to connect Raspberry Pi 2 device with Azure IoT Hub. You can read more about Azure IoT Hub here. In my solution I used C# SDK but please not that there are other langauges supported. In this article I will use Azure IoT Hub to send data retrieved by force sensor connected with Raspbery Pi 2.īuilding applications that run on IoT devices and interact with IoT Hub is possible with Azure IoT device SDK. It supports communication both from the device to the cloud and from the cloud to the device. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub is a fully managed service that enables reliable and secured bidirectional communication between millions of IoT devices. There will be additional code responsible for sending data to Azure IoT Hub described below. I have force sensor which will be connected to Raspberry Pi 2 device with Windows IoT 10 Core system. In my solution I will use Temperature and force sensor sample. Windows IoT Core samples repository on GitHub provides samples created with templates available in Visual Studio which demonstrate the usage patterns for the Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Core operating system. There is a great place to start coding UWP applications for Windows IoT Core. You can read more about Windows Device Portal here. You device should be available in the LAN (Local Area Network) – it means that you have to connect it to the router with cable or WI-FI. Windows Device Portal is the place where you can manage your device and its applications remotely over your local network. To access you device right click on it on the list and select “Open in Device Portal”: Under “My devices” tab you can see your devices, in my case this is Raspberry Pi 2: Once you click “Download and install” button Windows 10 IoT Core operating system is installed on the card. In my case I have SD card which is displayed in the dashboard:

You can install the system either connecting your device via USB or just insert SD card to the slot. Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard is a place to download, set up and connect Windows 10 IoT Core devices from the PC. I decided to present whole solution using Raspberry Pi 2 board. Microsoft prepared great documentation which contains tutorial in three steps:

Windows IoT Core is a version of Windows 10 optimized for smaller devices with or without a display which run on ARM or x86/圆4 devices. In this article I would like to introduce you to the Windows 10 IoT core system, show how to install it and use together with Raspberry Pi 2 and how to connect this device with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub in the cloud.īefore we dive deeper into whole solution I would like to describe what Windows 10 IoT Core is.
