About

Windows IoT Core is easy to use, but we wanted to make it even easier. This project builds on and extends the following key differentiators of Windows IoT Core:

• Runs Windows 10 apps written in C#, VB, C++, JavaScript and more
• Provides a Rich UI and Input Stack
• Offers a familiar Model Event-Driven for App Developers

Currently this project offers the following benefits above and beyond what ships with Windows IoT Core:

• Event-Driven pattern for many Digital and Analog devices
• Specialized wrappers for devices like joystick, rotary encoder and graphics display
• Extensibility allows developers to easily add support for devices not currently supported by the framework
• WinCore implementation of multiple ADC chips
• Easily use multiple ADC chips in a single application
• Automatic XAML projection to onboard LCD displays
• PWM hardware and software implementations
• Well-known interfaces for common device types helps application developers avoid getting tied down to a particular part number or chipset
• Thread scheduling system that is compatible with the UWP Task model and runs efficiently on resource constrained hardware
• Well-defined pattern for scheduling and unscheduling updates based on event subscriptions (the same pattern used by types in the Windows.Devices.Sensors namespace)

Other features planned:

• ISwitchable (e.g. Relay) support
• DAC support
• OneWire support
• More specialized wrappers
