Did you know that Windows 10 can run on a $35 Raspberry Pi 2 (or 3) single-board computer? Makers have taken the world by storm, creating countless gadgets and automated systems, connecting everything around them. This session is for makers – neophytes and veterans alike – who want to explore the capabilities of Windows 10 IoT Core to build hacks based on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), basically attaching electronic sensors and outputs to their Windows 10 apps. We’ll learn about the tools, how to get started, what hardware you’ll need, and how to build your first Windows hardware project on the Raspberry Pi. Take your maker projects to the next level, and come learn valuable skills to prepare and extend your developer skills for the Internet of Things (IoT).

• General Purpose Input Output
• Pin that can be controlled by the user
• Can be set to input or output
• Input can be things like temperature sensors, buttons, IR etc
• Output can be LEDs, Motors, LCDs etc

24. A N A L O G V S . D I G I TA L
• Computers understand digital signals
• Analog needs to be converted (ADC)
• Analog input covers voltage levels into a digital value within a
defined range
• Digital is counted in fixed units, not measured.
• PWM – Pulse Width Modulation – to “fake”analog
• Serial Communication with Rx/Tx

Breadboards offer a great way to
prototype circuits. The provide a
number of “buses” for connecting
both power and components.
Power buses run the entire
horizontal length
Component buses give you easy
ways to connect pins together
