Getting started with IoT using Windows 10 and Microsoft platform. The Raspberry Pi is introduced as a $35 computer that runs Windows 10 IoT Core. It allows connecting sensors and communicating with the cloud. Common IoT scenarios involve connecting, monitoring, searching for and managing things. The document demonstrates setting up Windows 10 IoT Core on a Raspberry Pi 2 and connecting sensors to collect and analyze IoT data using Azure IoT Hub and other Microsoft tools and APIs.

2. ABOUT THE PI

3. WHAT IS THE RASPBERRY PI
• “the $35 dollar computer”
• Well, here is what you also need:
• $7 Power supply
• $12 SD card
• $10 Wifi dongle
• And might also opt for:
• $15 USB SD card reader
• $15 USB Ethernet adapter
• Consider buying 2 of everything!

4. WHY THE NAME RASPBERRY PI?
• From the UK aimed at generating
excitement in computing with kids
• Raspberry comes from a tradition of fruit
named companies:
• Tangerine Computing Systems, Apricot
Computers, Acorn, BlackBerry, Cherry
Corp, Papaya Studios, Apple
Computer,…
• PI was originally planned to have a built-in
interpreter for python language
• Acronym for Python Interpreter

5. RASPBERRY PI HISTORY
Feb: Pi2 A7 processor, 1 GB RAM
Apr: Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi
Nov: Pi Zero, lower power, cheap
2012201320142015
Jul: Model B+, more GPIO, USB, micro SD
Nov: Model A+ more GPIO, micro SD
Feb: Model A, no Ethernet, cheaper
Oct: Model B with 512 MB RAM

7. RASPBERRY PI AND SENSORS
• Unlike Arduino and other microcontrollers, Pi runs
at 3.3v
• Sensors are generally categorized as either
analog or digital
• Pi only supports digital sensors, but analog to
digital (”A to C”, or ADC) hardware is available
• Two values for a pin:
• High == 3.3v (>2v)
• Low == 0v

8. RASPBERRY PI – THINGS TO CONSIDER
• Lots of prior work with Pi, Arduino, Spark/Particle
Core/Photon, BeagleBone, Edison, PICAXE, …
• Consider voltage level of board
• Consider if sensors are reading analog or
digital data
• We are just getting started with Windows 10 on
the Pi
• Be patient and be willing to reflash SD
• Give back to the community, publish your
findings
• There are some GPIO pin differences…

10. ABOUT WINDOWS 10

11. WINDOWS 10 IOT CORE
• Version of Windows 10 that is optimized for
smaller devices
• With or without a display
• Runs on the Raspberry Pi 2, Arrow DragonBoard
410c & MinnowBoard MAX
• Utilizes Universal Windows Platform (UWP) API
for building solutions

13. A BIT ABOUT IOT

14. You have
things that
produce data.
Breaking down IoT…
We prepare your devices.

15. Breaking down IoT…
That data
needs a place
to live…
We connect it to the cloud
and manage the data.

16. Breaking down IoT…
so you (or a machine)
can make smarter
decisions.
We uncover actionable
insights

17. COMMON IOT SCENARIOS
Connect and learn
about things
Monitor things that
are connected
Search for things
Manage things
Play with things
