Abstract
If you are just starting to work with hardware and IoT solutions, you may not have encountered the world that is Arduino and microcontrollers. These are small boards with components that support GPIO pins with a limited processor (not a CPU) and memory that permits you to write small programs to control the hardware. In essence, it is a hardware development platform. In this chapter, you explore the Arduino platform along with the three Arduino technologies from Microsoft.

I have tried several boards myself and it appears some other boards may be compatible but officially, these are the two that Microsoft confirms support. I can tell you the Leonardo board works well.

I found that most Uno clones, including the newer Leonardo board, worked well, but the newer boards with the newer processors, such as the Zero, did not work. If you have other boards, you can try them but the Uno is the best choice.

Most programmers would consider this bad form.

I was able to get it to work, but the changes are extensive and it proved to be a bit unstable—maybe it was my network, maybe not. If you don’t have an Ethernet shield, you can use a USB cable instead.

It is not overly accurate but good enough for most uses.
