Windows IoT Core and Raspberry Pi for Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are the backbone of modern smart devices, but getting started with hardware integration can feel overwhelming. This written guide simplifies the process by teaching you how to run Windows IoT Core on a Raspberry Pi to control physical components. You will transition from understanding basic electronics theory to writing, deploying, and debugging functional applications on a compact single-board computer. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational embedded systems terminology, hardware components, and Windows IoT Core architecture. - Configure your Raspberry Pi environment and deploy your first background application. - Interact with physical sensors and actuators using general-purpose input/output pins. - Implement basic edge-computing logic to process sensor data locally before transmission. - Apply secure communication practices using standard protocols to connect your device to the cloud. The course begins with core terminology and hardware setup, then guides you step-by-step through writing control code, handling inputs, and managing peripheral devices. It is designed for absolute beginners in hardware and IoT, requiring no prior electronics or advanced programming experience.
