This is a super fun project that we're excited to be part of!

Meadow in action, remotely monitoring industrial equipment and providing intelligence at the edge.

If you're making a thing that runs on batteries, then knowing the battery level is probably a requirement. Unfortunately, with lithium batteries it's not as simple as checking the voltage so a simple dedicated sensor is the way to go. https://lnkd.in/eeg2nEVg

I've spent a couple of hours yesterday to build a super simple game to try the Meadow Project Lab using the MicroGraphics foundational library. Using the library is super simple as it provides a low level API to draw primitives and even images. I was pleasantly surprised to see the MicroAudio class provides ways to play simple game sounds without any extra work. Accessing the Hardware available on the prototyping platform is pretty simple using the Hardware class. If you are a C# developers, it all feels pretty intuitive and easy to use. It's not something I would recommend for gaming, but for displaying and processing data coming from sensors and building a simple UI, this is a big massive improvement in terms of developer experience.

Looking forward to giving a talk on embedded development in .net using the Wilderness Labs Inc. meadow!

There's an elegance in a framework that lets you build software that touches hardware in just a few lines of code.

C#, Meadow IoT, and Beer! What a combo! If you're going to NDC, this is a must-see talk!

Excited to see my first C# app running on a Meadow F7 Feather microcontroller! Getting started is pretty simple, following the official guide: https://lnkd.in/eVZkqKt4 These are the key steps to follow: 1. Install Visual Studio 2022 with the MAUI workload 2. Install the Wildernss lab templates using dotnet new install WildernessLabs.Meadow.Template 3. Create a new project using the "Meadow F7 Feather App" 4. Connect your F7 to your PC using a USB cable 5. Right-click on the VS Toolbar and select the Meadow Device port 6. Press F5 The first time, the deployment process takes a bit of time as it's transferring a lot of DLLs to the device, but from the second time it's faster as only a diff is sent. And voilà, C# running on a Meadow microcontroller ?? You might think, what's so special about that? Well, Meadow is a full-stack IoT development platform that enables the creation of modern, secure .NET applications and run them on microcontrollers. It also offers cloud services for secure, over-the-air updates, health-monitoring, crash-reporting, push messaging and more which are essential for production applications. The code is hosted and executed by the Meadow operating system, which is built on top of the open-source NuttX μRTOS kernel. You can use all of your modern C# features to build amazing IoT applications, which is awesome, and all of this with the pleasure to work with Visual Studio and advanced and productive development tools. The F7 microcontroller has some nice specifications: energy-efficient STM32F7 with WiFi, BLE, 216MHz, 32MB RAM, 64MB Flash, 2D graphics and JPEG acceleration, tons of GPIO, PWM, I2C, SPI, I2S, CAN, UART and more. Looking forward to play more with this little but powerful device and the Project Lab too. Stay tuned!

Simplifying IoT is what Wilderness Labs Inc. is all about. The holiday break is coming up - spend some of it building a thing!

Did you know that Meadow supports the CAN protocol for industrial and automotive telematics? Check out our blog post on CAN for more information. https://lnkd.in/g7V5XjRs
