I don't see where you are calling setupTimer to start the timer going. the 'timer1_loaded' calls it, but I can't tell if that is ever being called.

The most likely answer to your question as to why the wifi has to be the connecting not the advertising part of a connection is simply security. The current standard way to operate these device is as a node, not a gateway. If the device is responsible for setting up and sending out requests, then th...

Are you putting the Wifi dongles in the top row?

If so there was a known bug that they are flakey there. Don't know why just that they are.

Try putting in the bottom row and see if you have a different experience.

I didn't believe them either till I tried.

To be more accurate, I should've included "announced" or "coming soon".

I thought that in my head, but re-read and realized I was thinking faster than I was typing.

Check this link: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2015/12/03/whats-new-for-windows-10-iot-this-fall/ And this section: we are also introducing a new ‘Windows 10 IoT Core Pro’ OEM SKU that provides the ability to defer updates and control distribution of updates through Windows Server Upda...

Geez..I thought this would be simple but thus far I have had no luck with getting the .iso image of Windows 10 Core on an SD card for my Pi. I use a Mac and the Disk Utility is not being reasonable, so I'm wondering if there is a simple, free program out there to accomplish this task? All advice wi...

There is no way to disable this in the current SKU. There is a PRO SKU that requires you to sign up for some sort of commercial version. Not sure of all the details. In the PRO SKU, much like in Windows 10 Enterprise, you will be able to turn off the updates. I did the update 2 days ago, just cause ...

In general driving a load from a GPIO pin by raising it high is bad practice. If you want to use the GPIO pin directly without the output buffer mentioned, you should make that sync to ground. This means setting the pin low to turn on the buzzer. The GPIO pin can sync lots of current to ground, wher...

I have never done this on a uwp applicatoin, but it is on my short list to try. I would setup something like MVVM light: http://blog.galasoft.ch/posts/2014/04/building-a-universal-application-for-windows-phone-8-1-and-windows-8-1-with-mvvm-light/ If you set the binding up, simply updating the model ...

It is probably because Windows 10 IoT isn't fully booted.

You need to put a monitor on it and see what is happening.

haroldpulcher

Just reflash the card. Can't imagine that you have done that much customization to make that a problem.

Windows 10 core IoT only supports Universal Windows Platform(UWP) applications.

If you can port your application, then it should work on the raspberry pi.

You need a better quality of SD card. Went though a number of "Class 10" cards that were inexpensive. Some worked, some didn't. I don't think their quality control is all the good. There are also "Legacy Class 10" cards out there as well. Don't know exactly what that means, but I am betting that it ...

the '<' and '>' are indications that you need to put a value here and what it should be.

There are not part of the syntax of the command. Remove them and you should be fine.

I would suggest a using an I2C device as well. WinIoT directly supports that protocol and it is way easy to use.

Not knowing any of your size constraints, I would suggest something like: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11931

I would head over to the windowsondevices.com site:

http://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/w ... stTool.htm

It is a tool that you need to compile and load onto the rpi that is a command line interface to the i2c stuff.

Pretty low level, but it may help.

I believe it is actually the other way around. The RunAsync command fires an event with a payload to the UI thread and returns. So you code goes merrily one. If you were to put a "AsTask().Wait()" on the end of that, then that call will wait till the UI thread is done. For a better explanation check...

You can also checkout a bit of code thatI am using to demo in my talks at: https://github.com/pulcher/iot-demos

Check the "pushPotBlink" solution. Not the best code, but it does work.

Try putting the keyword "this" in front of the Dispatcher.

I left that off for some reason in my example.

haroldpulcher

For an example bit code you want todo something like:

Code: Select all

            var task = this.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
            {
                 winBox.Text = windcounter.ToString();
            });

I have seen some of these "good" class 10 cards now being advertised with the term "Legacy" in front of them.

Not all cards are created equal. Just because they boot a unix distro doesn't guarantee it will boot Windows 10, which appears to have tighter requirements.

1. I want to develop Python applications for Win10 IoT. Many guides say that I need Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition to do so. VS2015 Community supports Python. But doesn it have to be the Community Edition - is it a must? Or would the Express Edition suffice? 2. And must the IDE run on Windows ...

The GPU is currently not active on Windows 10 core IoT.

They are aware of graphical performance issues and they say they are working on them.

Ran into the same problem over the weekend while working up a talk on this very subject. There are a couple of guys out there that have written send/recieve eventhub, but for the most part they are just doing a constant poll to get results. There has to be a better way. Will let you know if I find/c...

Can't imagine that formating the drive FAT32 did anything more than slow down the process.

When you image the SD card, you are righting over whatever is there.

I bet he just got lucky with an inferior SD card.
