.NET can be used to build applications for IoT devices and scenarios. IoT applications typically interact with sensors, displays and input devices that require the use of GPIO pins, serial ports or similar hardware.
This repository contains the System.Device.Gpio library and implementations for various boards like Raspberry Pi and Hummingboard.
The repository also contains Iot.Device.Bindings, a growing set of community-maintained device bindings for IoT components.
Note
This repository is still in experimental stage and all APIs are subject to changes.
While most of the bindings and examples in this project require and are designed to support specific hardware (such as LCD displays, temperature sensors, single-board computers, microcontrollers, etc.), the library itself tries to be as hardware-independent as possible. Some bindings are even written to showcase the use of IOT interfaces with hardware that is already present in normal desktop computers (such as keyboards or CPU temperature sensors). So to get started, you do not need expensive hardware. Or you can start out with cheap stuff, such as an Arduino Uno.
Both libraries in this repository are cross-targeting .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET 6.0. They can be used from any project targeting .NET Core 2.0 or higher, and also from .NET Framework or mono. If you are looking at a Micro Controller Unit (MCU) support, check .NET nanoFramework.
The sample projects target the latest stable .NET Version. This applies to the sample projects with each device as well as the example projects on the /samples directory.
From Visual Studio, you can just add a nuget by searching for System.Device.Gpio and Iot.Device.Bindings.
If you need, you can also install the latest daily pre-release build of the .NET System.Device.Gpio and Iot.Device.Bindings NuGet packages from the Azure artifacts feed.
nuget install System.Device.Gpio -PreRelease -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/IoT/_packaging/nightly_iot_builds/nuget/v3/index.json nuget install Iot.Device.Bindings -PreRelease -Source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/IoT/_packaging/nightly_iot_builds/nuget/v3/index.json
dotnet add package System.Device.Gpio --source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/IoT/_packaging/nightly_iot_builds/nuget/v3/index.json dotnet add package Iot.Device.Bindings --source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/dotnet/IoT/_packaging/nightly_iot_builds/nuget/v3/index.json
For information on how to build this repository and to add new device bindings, please head out to Contributing.
Please contribute. We are primarily interested in the following:
After installing, please see the following areas to learn more:
All bindings (src/devices) contains a samples folder where you will find examples on how to use each of the devices, sensor, displays and other components.
Important: Please make sure you are using tag that correspond to your package version to browse and reuse the samples' code.
Once you have selected the right branch, you can browse the repository. The main branch contains code that is always the latest and may not been yet released to a package. So if you are using the 1.2 package, please select 1.2 tag before browsing the source code.
