Raspberry Pi2 Windows 10 IOT core and Visual Basic 2015


Is it possible to run Visual Studio on a Raspberry PI 2 with Windows IOT core on it?

I want to creating create a touch-screen (HDMI with RPI2) application on Windows 10, which will be used to take the orders of customers and transfer the order information to another Raspberry PI running MySQL server.

I was able to implement this on PC but I want to implement it on RPI. Is it possible or should I use Gambas for that purpose?


Solution

  • I am working on Official RPi 7" Touchscreen(https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/) for Windows IoT with a community member. This display works with RPi2 + Windwos IoT but touch won't works. We are working to get support for touch and got partial success to retrieve touch data but we still require 1-2 months. Hope that Microsoft will soon release support for Official RPi 7" Touchscreen in Windwos IoT.

    Once we got success, will report back here with source code.

    Update (15-DEC-2015)
    Right now, RPi2 (Windows IoT) supports a touchscreen display from chalkboard electronics only. Setup instruction for this touchscreen is given at ms-iot Website's Miscellaneous section.
