Windows IoT on Galileo – Sensors to Server

This blog explain you on how to push data to Azure storage table services from Adafruit 10-DOF IMU sensor module connected to Galileo Gen1 or Gen2.  

Prerequisites

• Supported for both Intel Galileo Gen1 and Gen2.
•  Latest OS update released on 21-Nov-2014 (common .wim for Gen1 and Gen2) for lightning (improved performance on I2C, SPI, and UART etc..)
• Visual studio 2013 with Windows IoT SDK (Visit: windowsondevices.com for more details) and Microsoft IoT C++ SDK and its dependent NuGet Package is required.
• NuGet package for C++ REST SDK (Casablanca) Version ≥ 2.0.1 (tested with version 2.0.1 and 2.2.0)
• Source code for C++ REST SDK. Go through the instructions given in the below link.
• http://ms-iot.github.io/content/Casablanca.htm
• NuGet package for Microsoft Azure Storage Client Library for C++ 0.3.0-preview
• Source code for Azure Storage Client Library for C++ 0.3.0-preview from Github.
• Sample source code to access the Azure storage client library. I used the source code for accessing table for this example but it should work for all storage services.

Windows IoT on Galileo – The Beginning

As many of you know Microsoft is focusing on Internet of Things (IoT) and it has started developing an IoT version of Windows OS. It was announced in the Build 2014 conference. As a first step, Microsoft open a Web site and encourage developers (Professionals, Students and Hobbyist) to register here in order to receive a worthy Intel Galileo development kit with Windows IoT on it. You can see more information about Windows Developer Program for IoT in the below link.

As a Microsoft MVP, I am privileged to receive the earlier shipment of Galileo kit. Thanks to Windows Embedded (IoT) team. Many of the registered developers will receive this package soon.
