NanoFramework lacking libraries

I wanted to try something different than the standard c/c++ so I installed nanoFramework on my ESP32 and I really like it, but I found that there are many 3rd party libraries that are just not available for c#. There is c/c++ interop, but that essentially means I have to create a C# wrapper for every library I need. Is there a better way?

List of sensors I would like to use and could not find libraries for:

  • Thermometer
  • Scale
  • Microphone (could be implemented pretty easily actually, just reading analog pin should suffice)
  • Humidity sensor
  • Oled display (I know not a sensor. I mean this)
Solution

  • Suggest that you take a look at the .NET IoT Core repository. There a bunch of binding there and we are in the process of making possible to use this from .NET nanoFramework.
