Achilleus from Samnium<\/a> has contacted me about an application he’s written for the Raspberry Pi 3.<\/p>\n

It is a light framework for reading data from multiple sensors and sending them over the network. It’s called IoTWork.Reader<\/strong>
\nand was developed in C++ and C#; it can be executed using Mono.<\/p>\n

The code is available on GitHub<\/a>. The current release supports the SenseHAT and Achilleus has made pre-packaged binaries\u00a0which are also located on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The application is customizable: you can write your own sensor handlers and configure them via the XML file.<\/p>\n

More documentation is available on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
