Meadow is coming to a conference near you!

November is a busy conference season, and we’ll be talking about Meadow at three conferences all at the same time! Make sure to check us out.

Integrating Meadow into industrial SCADA; Exposing Data over MODBUS TCP

At Wilderness Labs we strive to simplify integrating hardware into your .NET solutions. Industrial automation and process control are very hardware-heavy, and Meadow provides the ability to add in sensors and telemetry to your plant floor in a fast, inexpensive, and unobtrusive way. You…

Detecting the Power Source for an F7 Feather

One great feature of our F7 Feather platforms is the built-in battery connector and charging circuit, but developers that use it in their applications almost always follow up with the question of “How can my application know if I’m on line power or battery…

Why is my Meadow app always named “App.dll”?

The Meadow Core stack has a hard-coded requirement for Meadow Apps on the F7 platform to be named either “App.dll” or “App.exe”. This requirement is actually a bit of a legacy carryover from the beta days. Originally, when the Meadow stack only targeted the…

Meadow App Settings

It’s pretty common for an IoT application to need to read persistent but changeable settings at startup. Meadow applications have long supported the app.config.yaml file for settings to control behavior of the Resolver.Log, the device’s lifecycle behavior (e.g. restarting on an uncaught exception) or…

Meadow and RS485 (and Modbus RTU oh my!)

If you’re building an industrial embedded application, you’re probably aware of the RS485 standard. It’s been an industry standard for decades and it persists because it’s both simple and works very well over long distances and in EM-noisy environments. The Wilderness Labs Project Lab…

Device Logs over UDP

Developing applications requires debugging and in most embedded projects this means writing to a logger. Meadow is no different here. If you’re familiar with Meadow development, you’re probably familiar with calling the various methods on Resolver.Log but you might wonder why we recommend you…

Wilderness Labs DevCamp

Meadow is now v1.0 Thanks to everyone who attended DevCamp 2023, either in person or virtually! We enjoyed seeing so many customers and community members. We announced a LOT of innovative product news at DevCamp that we’ve been working on, but one announcement stood…

Meadow appearance at .NET Seattle Meetup

On April 12, developer advocate Jorge Ramirez and Adrian Stevens did a presentation at Microsoft Reactor in Redmond, showing a roadmap of what it takes to take an IoT project from idea to Production and how to make it possible with Meadow. Fortunately we…
