Meadow.Linux now supports BeagleBone Black platforms!
The BeagleBone Black has long been a favorite among developers due to its affordability, versatility, and ease of use. With an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, extensive I/O capabilities, and a full open-source stack including the bootloader, it has been the go-to choice for a wide…
Why Meadow is the IoT Platform of Choice for Developers
Creating a production IoT solution is a daunting challenge. Most embedded solutions that make it to the field are written using Embedded-C, a 50 year old language that has changed little in its intervening years, along with its associated tooling, which isn’t much better….
Simplifying Signal Access with Connectors
If you work directly with a Meadow F7 Feather or a Meadow Core Compute Module, accessing the hardware signals from your application is pretty simple and straightforward. The Meadow.Core stack exposes the Device.Pins collection so creating something as simple as an IDigitalOutputPort is pretty…
Introducing the Project Lab
Our mission is deceptively simple: to make hardware development as fast and easy as web or mobile development. And to that end, we’ve spent five years solving incredibly difficult challenges to democratize hardware development for all. Prototype without breadboarding. This week, we announced the…
How to do a full stack Meadow update
In this post shows you how I performs a full stack update, meaning updates for the Meadow.CLI, Meadow.OS binaries, Visual Studio extensions, and Meadow.Foundation drivers and updates. Check out our Release Notes to see all the latest changes in every beta release. Updating your…
ICYMI: Check out Chris Tacke’s appearance on Enterprise IoT for .NET developers
Not long ago, one of our Meadow engineers, Chris Tacke, did a very interesting demo using Meadow to show what working in IoT looks like coming as a .NET software developer, and you’ll be surprised on how easy and familiar is to use our…
Optimizing the Clima Supply Chain: Batteries
Hey folks! Bryan here, I wanted to share some learning we gained around batteries and the supply chain that might be useful in your own battery-powered, IoT solutions. As a reference IoT kit, Clima is intended to help our customers accelerate their own production-IoT…
Embedded Development is All About Iteration
I’m starting on a new side project for fun. I want to create a scoring box for fencing (the olympic sport, not building fences). If you don’t know much about fencing, the score box is wired to each fencer and their blade and it…
Upgrading from Meadow F7v1 to F7v2
Hi folks, Jorge here, and in this post I wanted to point out a few things to consider when upgrading your Meadow Application from a F7v1 to a F7v2 board. While both may look very similar at first sight, F7v2 packs a number of…
Add OpenWeather to your Meadow Projects
If you’d like to get real time weather data to your Meadow projects, you should try using the free public weather web service OpenWeatherMap, which we use already in a couple of our projects up on Hackster. First you’ll need to create an account…
