11. Windows 10 IoT overview
You can write a Universal Windows
Platform (UWP) Application using a
variety of programming languages
in Visual Studio to rapidly create
maker projects
Windows 10 IoT Core is a new
edition of Windows targeted
towards small embedded devices
and maker boards such as
Raspberry Pi2
IoT core is designed to work with
low-level bus interfaces such as I2C,
SPI, USB
You can use Windows 10 IoT Core
to read sensor data, control
actuators, connect to the cloud,
create IoT applications and much
more.

13. Getting started on Win 10 IoT Solution Development
Step 1 –
Select device
(maker boards)
supported by
Windows 10 to
run UWP apps
and configure
it
Step 2 –
Configure
device with
Windows 10
IoT core
Step 3 –
Using Visual
Studio
develop UWP
apps for IoT
devices
Step 4 –
Decide
comunication
mechanism
and data
storage
Step 5 –
Use Azure
hosted
services to
communicate
with devices
Step 6 –
Develop
actionable
insight for
collected data

14. Getting started on Win 10 IoT Solution Development
Best place to start !

US/GetStarted.htm

15. Set-Up Windows 10 DEV PC for IoT Project
1. Make sure you are running the public release of Windows 10 (version
10.0.10240) or better.
2. Install Visual Studio 2015 (community edition is fine!)
Make sure to do a Custom install and select the checkbox Universal Windows App
Development Tools -> Tools and Windows SDK.
3. Install Windows IoT Core Project Templates Visual Studio in the Extension
and Updates dialog (Tools > Extensions and Updates > Online)
4. Enable developer mode on your Windows 10 device
Setup your Windows 10 IoT Core development PC, by following this:

16. Step 2 - Installing Windows 10 IoT Core

17. Download Windows 10 IoT core for Raspberry Pi 2
● http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/Downloads.htm

19. Deploy code to ‘Remote Machine’ (for example a Raspberry Pi 2 device)
Develop code for business logic in Visual Studio
Build circuit to connect with device and ensure correct PIN usage
Design and develop hosted web services and database (on Azure!)
Develop logic for communication between cloud hosted service and device
Develop Mobile app as required to control the device
Don’t forget – it is all ‘Insights’ – so design and implement dashboard on data
Step 3 (and beyond) – Design, Develop and host UWP App

20. Deploying UWP solution to remote machine

21. WinIoT Water management Project Overview
● Our project involved leveraging Windows 10 IoT Core on Raspberry Pi2 to
control and measure water flow through a Solenoid water control valve
● Showcases how Azure based Services and Database Storage is used to ensure
scalability of solution
● The solution also leverages Xamarin platform to develop an app to monitor the
usage
● The app can demonstrate how to use water optimally and will allow users to
keep a close watch on their water consumption by each outlet
● Collected data is also visualized on PowerBI based dashboard
● Featured as contest entry on https://www.hackster.io/ Windows 10 IoT contest

23. Lets look at the code – Button click event
private const string WinIoTGet = "http://winwireiot.azurewebsites.net/api/valve/get";
private const string WinIoTPost = "http://winwireiot.azurewebsites.net/api/valve/post";
private bool ButtonClicked = false;
private async void ButtonPin_ValueChanged(GpioPin sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Edge == GpioPinEdge.FallingEdge)
{
ButtonClicked = true;
HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
if (pinValue == GpioPinValue.High)
{
pinValue = GpioPinValue.Low;
pin.Write(pinValue);
StringContent queryString = new StringContent("1");
HttpResponseMessage response = http.PostAsync(new
Uri(WinIoTPost),queryString).Result;
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
http.Dispose();
ButtonClicked = false;
}

24. Button click event code Contd… ELSE
else
{
pinValue = GpioPinValue.High;
pin.Write(pinValue);
StringContent queryString = new StringContent("0");
HttpResponseMessage response = http.PostAsync(new Uri(WinIoTPost),
queryString).Result;
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
http.Dispose();
ButtonClicked = false;
}
}
}

25. Polling the Azure hosted Service for control message
private async void Timer_Tick(object sender, object e)
{
if (!ButtonClicked)
{
HttpClient http = new HttpClient();
var result = await http.GetAsync(new Uri(WinIoTGet));
var response = result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
if (response.Equals("1"))
{
pinValue = GpioPinValue.Low;
pin.Write(pinValue);
LED.Fill = greenBrush;
DelayText.Text = "Valve has been switched On";
}
else
{
pinValue = GpioPinValue.High;
pin.Write(pinValue);
LED.Fill = redBrush;
DelayText.Text = "Valve has been switched Off";
}
}
}

28. The Azure IoT Suite is a collection of Azure services that come together in a composite
suite that you can quickly spin up preconfigured IoT solutions in minutes. The suite
contains the following core Azure services:
• IoT Hub
• Event hub
• Stream Analytics ()
• Storage blob
• Web/Mobile app
• DocumentDb
• Web Jobs
• Logic Apps
• Azure Active Directory
• The idea is to accelerate time to value, but also allows you to customize it, so that
you can add devices and modify rules and alerts to tailor to your needs.
• Microsoft Partners can work with customers to fine tune specific assets and
processes and integrate with backend systems.
