If your organization is eager to begin using Windows 10 for Internet of Things projects, you're one step closer today.
Microsoft just unveiled a new Starter Kit for the Windows IoT Core and Raspberry Pi 2. The kit, which includes sensors, electronic parts, wires, and cables that are compatible with Windows 10, enables organizations to prototype and build machines that can transmit information back to a database.
For example: Microsoft says the starter kit can help organizations create weather stations that produce data based on interactions with the environment, or tools that communicate with an analog photocell sensor to measure light intensity, and even a wheeled robot that can be controlled via joystick and Raspberry Pi.
The details
Working in conjunction with a company called Adafruit, Microsoft developed the hardware that comes with the starter kit, including an SD card preloaded with Windows 10 Iot Core.Microsoft says developers who purchase the solution can have their own apps written in up to 190 minutes, which includes setting up the Raspberry Pi PC, setting up the connected device and writing the code for the application.
