Writing C# on a IoT Microcontroller with .NET and the Wilderness Labs Meadow Project Lab Board

[sarcasmasaservice]

Thanks, Scott!! Your videos are always a blast to watch and give me so many ideas for future projects.

Dang... so cool being able to do C# on an IOT device! Tempts me so much. Thanks Scott for sharing your knowledge... You inspire me!

I read and followed your blog way back and really forgot all about you there for a while. Good that I found you again and that you're on a modern format. Also glad to see that even you are starting to show some age. I'm still using my photo from way back... need to change that :)

It's like a modern implementation of the 200-in-1 electronics experiment sets Radio Shack sold in the 80s.

“See how we don’t do edits here? We don’t - because it’s just not worth the trouble.”
that’s a good mindset, this isn’t a Pluralsight course. People who are interested will find their way to it regardless - if I stutter or stumble, as long as I have a clear idea of what I’m going for, it’s ok to do it in a single take, better for the world to have the video than to have to wait until a clear Saturday to bust out Adobe Premier.

That USB device mapper until is interesting. Keeping a Linux partition around on a personal use laptop is a pain and WSL is great except for some corner cases like this.

Great content! I'm actually doing some IoT again this summer. I've got two Arduino MKR WAN 1300 devices communicating between each other over LoRa. One is going to sit in my mail box, measuring whether I've got mail or not by using two distance sensors - one at the top of the mail box and one at the bottom. Hopefully, if something is put into the mail box, the distance from the wall to the letter will be enough to trigger a signal that I've got mail. Then the other MKR WAN 1300 will sit in my apartment, connected to the Internet and report the status to my smart home Grafana dashboard. At least, that's the idea. I haven't started yet. I'm just missing two parts now, the two distance sensors...

Nice!!! Didnt know this platform! I´ll certainly study it more! Thank you!

No way?! Never heard of them! Great stuff

Hi Scott, whats this pixel display at the end?

[randallyoung]

Dude, how did you get the wonderful colors on your terminal session, is that a WSL trick?

[SamFugarino]

I'm writing this before finishing the video. I went through the whole netduino thing. I really wanted it to catch on. I hope this attempt works out.

I've been looking at making a small .Net 7 C# program that polls several devices on the network for values and send the data to an API. I've considered putting it on a raspberry Pi device, but I'm worried about maintaining the OS. So this could be a suitable alternative? Do I have to worry about my Nuget packages if they support Standard 2.0?

i miss netduino, finally and updated one

[largepimping]

I love the idea of running c# on an MCU. I just wish those boards weren't so expensive! I assume their usage of an STMicro part has a lot to do with that...

[convisat]

I have no idea how the GetTemperature Method inside the while loop could ever trigger.
You will have to run the Task.Delay Method exactly at Second 0.
If so, then it will only get's the temperature every hour.
Do I miss something?

[Lazzerman]

Fantastic! Being able to run Linux and Windows side by side is really powerful. I have to check the pricing on the wildernesslab stuff - A friend of mine really wants a wifi enabled soil-humidity system for his house - maybe this is the hardware to pull it off

Hi Scott! Love the videos. A bit random, but I would love to know what you use to draw the rectangles and arrows in your screen recordings?

[elainesgardenpdx]

Can I ask what software are you using to record your videos? Thanks.

[jparraK]

Great video. Thank you for sharing that. Any pointers on how to integrate a Meadow board with a RGB matrix like the AdaFruit M4 Matrix Display?

[bardr]

Should be some sort of common framework that one can implement separate device flash for via vs
