In this module, you'll learn to read environmental sensors and activate relays using the .NET IoT Libraries.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Construct circuits to implement:
    • An environmental sensor.
    • A switched circuit to control LEDs or relay modules.
  • Write code to read temperature and humidity from a sensor.
  • Write code to use GPIO pins to activate an LED or relay module.
  • Deploy and test the code.
