   • Hi,

     Depending on lead time and availability I source kit from SeeedStudio (http://www.seeedstudio.com) or Australian Robotics (http://australianrobotics.com.au/).

2. Hi Bryn, I heard you talking at TechEd and am interested in getting in touch about Code Club – I tried emailing team@codeclub.co.nz but my email bounced back. Can you get in touch with me to discuss?

3. Hi Bryn,
   I am based in Auckland and would like to have a chat with you about your experience with netmf – what are your contact details?

5. Hi Bryn, would you be available for hire to do a job? – hooking up a speed and torque sensor. I’ve got the basics, but bit lost on some things. I’m in Chch. Thanks, Nick 356-2275

6. Hi,

   I am Alessandro from Switzerland. I read your blog. I have a question, maybe you can help me: I have a GrovePI and a Raspberry 3B model.

   I use the library GrovePI from https://github.com/DexterInd/GrovePi/tree/master/Software/CSharp

   GrovePi _collision = DeviceFactory.Build.GrovePi(); //Create obj
   _collision.PinMode(Pin.DigitalPin2, PinMode.Input); //Set obj as input on Pin2

   //Get Value from sensor
   message.Collision = _collision.DigitalRead(Pin.DigitalPin2); //Read value

   for other sensors I have classes:

   _airQualitySensor = DeviceFactory.Build.AirQualitySensor(Pin.AnalogPin2);
   message.AirQuality = _airQualitySensor.AirQuality();

   All work fine but for collision (Where I use generic GrovePi) interface does not run.

   Here the code for DigitalRead:

   public byte DigitalRead(Pin pin)
   {
   var wbuffer = new byte[4] {(byte) Command.DigitalRead, (byte) pin, Constants.Unused, Constants.Unused};
   var rBuffer = new byte[1];
   var i2cTransferResult = DirectAccess.WritePartial(wbuffer);
   Delay.Milliseconds(10);
   if (i2cTransferResult.Status != I2cTransferStatus.FullTransfer)
   {
   return 0;
   }
   i2cTransferResult = DirectAccess.ReadPartial(rBuffer);
   if (i2cTransferResult.Status != I2cTransferStatus.FullTransfer)
   {
   return 0;
   }

       return rBuffer[0];
   }
   

   The sensor is: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Collision_Sensor/

   Thanks a lot for your time and your help. I don’t know how can resolve the issue.

   • Hi
     Is the Grove Collision Sensor connected to a digital port on the RPI or the onboard Microcontroller?

     If you’re using Windows 10 IoT Core and want an event when the collision sensor is triggered your could look at using an interrupt port on one of the digital ports not connected to the Arduino.

     private GpioPin InterruptGpioPin = null;

     InterruptGpioPin = gpioController.OpenPin(interruptPin);
     InterruptGpioPin.SetDriveMode(GpioPinDriveMode.Input);

     InterruptGpioPin.ValueChanged += InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged;
     ….

     private void InterruptGpioPin_ValueChanged(GpioPin sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs args)
     {
     if (args.Edge != GpioPinEdge.RisingEdge)
     {
     return;
     }
     …
     }
