I was wondering is it possible to connect raspberry pi to a fez raptor ? I saw a post on connecting rasp to an arduino via i2c and read gadgeteer has i2c. I want to receive commands via rasp wifi and send them to the gadgeteer board. Has this been done ?
@ iamin - Currently (at least with Windows IoT on Pi) you have no access to the serial port. Microsoft in its wisdom has locked that up for themselves. There is no firm commitment to open it up before (or after) RTM.
In fact, the stated goal was to use the RPi as a serially-connected wireless provider - the world’s largest ESP8266 emulator. For all the effort in code, I would think spending ten bucks on an ESP8266 would be a better choice. You’re out ten bucks, but you get back hours of coding and debugging on two platforms. (And you still have an RPi left over to play some games on or something)
I thought maybe there was more to this (maybe there is), but if the goal is just to leverage the RPi’s wifi, then use an ESP8266 breakout instead.
That’s a perfectly reasonable rationale for doing what you’re doing, of course - it just wasn’t stated anywhere earlier in the conversation, which is probably why I missed that bit.
