SDK for creating MetaWear apps using C# 7.0 and Visual Studio 2017.
Three builds of the C# SDK are available targeting:
- Universal Windows Platform (10.0.16299.0)
- .NET Framework (4.6.2)
- .NET Standard (2.0).
Unlike the former two, the .NET Standard build is a platform agnostic API that does not contain any Bluetooth LE or IO code. Developers using this build, such as in a Xamarin Forms project, will need to plugin their own Bluetooth LE library to implement the interfaces defined in the Mbientlab.MetaWear.Platform namespace.
The C# SDK is distributed via NuGet and can be installed with the package manager console:
PM> Install-Package MetaWear.CSharpNuGet will automatically use the appropriate build for your project.
This section only applies to developers using the .NET Framework or UWP builds though developers adding their own Bluetooth LE and IO plugins may want tp setup their API in a similar manner.
Before you can use the SDK, first retrieve the BluetoothLEDevice object corresponding to your MetaWear device. When you have found your device, call GetMetaWearBoard to retrieve an IMetaWearBoard reference for the device.
public async IMetaWearBoard macAddrToIMetaWearBoard(ulong mac) {
var device = await BluetoothLEDevice.FromBluetoothAddressAsync(mac);
return MbientLab.MetaWear.Win10.Application.GetMetaWearBoard(device);
}The SDK code base is partitioned into various shared projects that are referenced by the dotnet, uwp, netstandard and test projects. By default, MSBuild will build all 4 projects.
Make sure that your C# compiler supports C# 7.0 features.
