Shows how to use the Windows.Devices.I2c API to read and write from/to an I2C device. In this sample we'll be using a IES-SHIELD-GPS GPS controller mounted on a STM32F769I DISCOVERY board.
The sample project includes a full driver for the IES-SHIELD-GPS and IES-SHIELD-GPAM allowing you to retrieve the current date, time, longitude, latitude, heading, speed, (GPAM only: pitch and roll) from the device.
Note: This sample is part of a large collection of nanoFramework feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access any shared dependencies.
An STM32F769II DISCOVERY board. The code sample is demonstrative of the use of the I2C API.
- If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 (VS 2017 should be OK too) and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
- Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the subfolder for this specific sample. Double-click the Visual Studio Solution (.sln) file.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.
- Select Build > Deploy Solution.
- To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging.
