#What is The Internet of Things Maker Den?
The Internet of Things Maker Den is designed to be an accessible hands on experience with hardware prototyping and building a Universal Windows App that you will deploy to a Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows 10 IoT Core.
The goal of the lab is to learn something about wiring circuits (with plenty of guidance), deploying code and streaming your sensor data to Microsoft Azure.
The Maker Den is implemented on top of the Internet of Things Solutions Framework.
#What is the Internet of Things Solution Framework?
The Internet of Things Solution Framework for Windows 10 IoT Core is a general purpose extensible pluggable foundation to support sensors, actuators, data serialisation, communications, and command and control.
#Cloud Modes
The framework supports three Cloud Modes
- Azure IoT Hubs
- MQTT
- Event Bus
The IoT Dashboard allows you to visualise the data streamed to a MQTT Service running on Azure.
You can install the IoT Dashboard from here. Note, you will need to allow to run from unknown publisher.
