Introduction

In this article w will learn about how to connect Raspberry Pi 2 Model B/Raspberry Pi 3 device to Windows 10 PC, Windows IOT Core OS Installation in Raspberry Kit and finally how to create and deploy Apps in IoT kit using Visual Studio.

Step 1: Initial Setup for Windows 10 PC,

1. Download and install Visual Studio 2015 (Free Edition or Other Edition Like Pro/Enterprise).
2. Download Visual Studio
3. Sign In your account and click Download

• Before the Installation you must select the Software package to install,
  
  Note: Must select Universal Windows App Development tool to Install (it contains the dev tool for Iot),
  
    

• Click Next to Install the Tool. (Installation may take more than a hour depending on Internet speed).

Step 2: Initial Setup For Raspberry Pi

• Create a Windows10 IOT core Bootable SD Card
  
  
• Download the Windows 10 Iot dashboard.
  
                                   
  
  
• After the Installation of IoT Core Dashboard on PC.
  
  
• Open Windows IoT Core Image Helper and prepare your Class 10* 8GB SD CARD for Booting OS.                                                                                                                         

• After Flashing Complete Eject SD card from PC and Insert into the Raspberry PI,        
             
             

Connecting Device to PC:

• Open Windows IOT Core Watcher App In Pc for tracking IoT Devices,
  
  

• Connect 5v Dc Power Supply to Raspberry PI and also connect Ethernet LAN between PC and Raspberry Pi,
  
   

• After OS Boot, the Start Screen of Windows IoT Core Loaded in Raspberry Pi,

 

• After Connection, Share PC Internet Connectivity to Raspberry kit, Open Network Adapter, then select Ethernet Properties and select Sharing Tab
  
  
• Click Ok.
  
   

• Raspberry Pi obtain IP address for Remote Management.

Creating a HelloWorld App:

• Open Visual Studio 2015 and Click New Project, then Blank App (Universal Windows) Enter App Name & Location.
• Click OK

      

• Add Iot Reference To the Project, Right click on the project, Add Reference, Universal Windows, then click Extensions.
  
  
• Select the Windows IoT Extensions for UWP, then click OK.

• Open mainpage.xaml add below Code

  <Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
  
          <TextBlock Text="Hello, world!" Margin="0,0,0,40"/>
      </Grid>

• Click Save

Deploying the App:

• Copy the IP Address from Windows IOT Core Watcher.
  
  
• Before Run the Project Select ARM Architecture,
  
  
• Select Remote Machine and Enter Remote IP or Use Device Name to run the app directly to IoT Device.
  
  
   
   

• Now run the App by clicking Remote Machine Tab and then click OK

Conclusion:

We find out that it's easy to connect your Raspberry pi devices to Windows 10 PC for working with IoT.
