This lengthy episode contains a ton of good information about IoT in general, about Azure IoT and the services that it brings this category of computing, and finally about a number of starter kits designed and built for Azure IoT that you can use to get you building connected devices very quickly.I doubt you'll have any questions remaining on IoT or how to get started by the time you finish this video.
The Maker Show: Episode 20 - IoT in Extreme and Off-Grid Scenarios (Channel 9)
In this episode of the Maker Show, Frank La Vigne (@tableteer) walks through design considerations when taking your IoT projects into extreme places. Learn how to put together a solar power generator to power your off-grid IoT projects.
The Maker Show: Mini - GraviComp Mechanical Computer
A mechanical computer is built from physical components such as levers and gears rather than electronic components. The earliest mechanical computers have existed since 200 B.C. when the ancient Greeks constructed a device named the Antikythera that calculated the positions of the planets. In 1837, Charles Babbage designed (but was unable to construct because of limited funding) arguably the general purpose computer called the Analytical Engine.
The Maker Show: Episode 17 - Coding & GPIO in Windows 10 IoT Core
Did you know that Windows 10 can run on a $35 Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 computer? Makers have taken the world by storm, creating countless gadgets and automated systems, connecting everything around them. This session is for makers – neophytes and veterans alike – who want to explore the capabilities of Windows 10 IoT Core to build hacks based on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), basically attaching electronic sensors and outputs to their Windows 10 apps.
Game Dev Show 15 - Building a Windows 10 Game with C#, XAML and Win2D
In this episode of the Game Dev Show, I introduce you to Win2D – a powerful and easy-to-use Open Source library for immediate mode 2D graphics rendering with GPU acceleration. It is available to C# and C++ developers writing Universal apps and games for Windows 10 (UWP), and also Windows Runtime apps for Windows & Windows Phone 8.1. It utilizes the power of Direct2D, and integrates seamlessly with XAML and CoreWindow.
The Maker Show: Mini - Intro to IoT.Devices
Microsoft.IoT.Devices is a free open source library that makes it easy to add support for many sensors and devices to Windows IoT Core. A portion of this library (the scheduler) was already demonstrated in Episode 13 - Breaking out of the Loop. In this Maker Mini we cover why the library was created, the problems it helps you solve, and how to get started using the library. Some key features of the library: The home page for the library is aka.ms/iotdevices.
The Maker Show: Episode 14 - SignalR with the Raspberry Pi
In this episode of The Maker Show, join Ian Philpot and Jared Rhodes as they combine the worlds of real-time communication and web robotics to make a sword fighting Lego Bionicle. Ian and Jared first start with a UWP app and the Microsoft Band SDK to grab accelerometer data, then using Signalr they send that data up to Azure and back down to a Raspberry Pi that drives our Lego's sword.
The Maker Show: Episode 13 - Breaking Out of the Loop
Infinite loops have been a centerpiece of programming since the first programs were written. Even "interactive" programs have infinite loops: program waits for input, program does some processing, program generates some output, program waits for input, and on and on and on.
The Maker Show: Episode 10 - Adding a Coin Acceptor to Your Arduino Project
Have you ever wanted to make your own coin-operated arcade game cabinet, jukebox, or claw machine? In this episode of the Maker Show, Rachel Weil walks through how to wire up and write code for an Arduino and a programmable coin acceptor.
Our Reaction to the News and Announcements Made at Build 2016
Build 2016 has come and gone and our DevRadio regulars decided to get together for a candid no-holds barred session and discuss what they thought of all of the news and announcements made last week. Curious what they think of the new Bot Framework or Bash on Windows? Or maybe that they little announcement made about Xamarin?
The Maker Show: Episode 9 - An Introduction to Wearables
Do you have dreams of blinging out your gear but have no idea where to start? This episode of the Maker Show will explore the wide world of wearables - from MicroControllers made for wearables to conductive thread, and even a little bad sewing skills thrown down in between. Get started with your first soft interactive electronics project by learning some of the basics first. Materials used in this section are the following: Judge me freely here, as you watch my outstanding sewing skills.
The Maker Show: Episode 8 - Driving Your Stepper Motor with an Arduino
In this episode of The Maker Show, Bret Stateham will show you how to drive a stepper motor with an Arduino. Stepper motors are one of the unsung heroes of the age. Hard drives, CNC Mills, 3D Printers and more just wouldn't exist without them. They can do so much more than a regular DC motor, but that capability comes with a little complexity. This video hopes to de-mystify that and show you how easy it is to get started. The 28BYJ-48 motor used in this video are inexpensive and readily available.
The Maker Show: Episode 7 - The Photon Awakens
In this episode of The Maker Show, we're taking a hands-on tour of the Particle Photon: a powerful Arduino-compatible 32-bit microcontroller board with built-in Wi-Fi that sells for only $19. The built-in connectivity and Particle Cloud make this board an ideal device for the creation of connected gadgets in the Internet of Things (IoT).
The Maker Show: Episode 6 - Soldering Basics
If you've ever wanted to learn how to solder and didn't know how to get started, then this is the video for you.Sooner or later in your maker projects, you will come across a project that requires soldering. The time to learn is now, so you can be ready.In this video, Frank La Vigne (@tableteer) talks about the various types of soldering irons, accessories, and safety tips before diving into soldering.
CodeChat 057 - INSTEON for Home Automation
My colleague, Nick Landry, and I are both pretty into home automation using INSTEON. Nick is buying a new house and thinks it's time to go all out with a good home automation solution and then start writing some code to enable various natural speech scenarios. Really, who doesn't want to talk to their house and control the lights, locks, gadgets, and more?
The Maker Show: Episode 5 - Installing Windows 10 on a Raspberry Pi 2
In this episode of The Maker Show, we'll get Windows 10 up and running on a Raspberry Pi 2, and take a look at what it comes with out of the box. We'll examine setup with a display for the Pi, how you can get the system up and running in a headless mode through the Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard and the Windows Device Portal, and take a look at the options that gives you. Finally, we'll connect through a remote PowerShell session and see what opportunities open up.
Your Employer Owns Your Job, but YOU Own Your Career: Why Mobile Dev Matters
Have you ever built and published a mobile app? Maybe you've tried and abandoned the idea because you didn't make any money. Maybe you gave up before even trying because it's a saturated market and making money is hard. Forget the app money, mobile development can be your path to a better career, and yes, that will bring you more money too. In this video I walk you through the list of skills you will build by becoming a mobile developer.

It supports a variety of Android versions and screen sizes, as well as the full range of sensors, including accelerometer, screen orientation, SD card, battery, multi-touch, GPS, camera, audio and keyboard. If you are building Android apps, you want to download and use this!
The Maker Show: Episode 3 - Arduino and Servos
Now that Brian Sherwin showed you how to blink an LED and David Crook discussed electronics, let's turn to Servo Motors and Pulse Width Modulation! In this episode of The Maker Show, DC Micro Servos will be discussed. These tiny controllers are inexpensive, cost less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks, and pack a powerful punch with 1.54 Kg-cm of torque, and weight in with a mass of 8.6 grams! Servo Motors were first conceived by Nikolai Tesla who designed the AC types of Servo Motors.
