Plant Watering System monitored with Azure

Win 10 IoT-Core - Raspberry Pi3 Bluetooth Driver Issue: Workaround


As I discussed in a previous blog article, the Raspberry PI3 Bluetooth driver for Windows 10-IoT-Core becomes errant and misses updates when the update rate is high. This is a known issue with the RPI. This problem does not exist other Windows 10 systems including the Dragonboard running IOT-Core.

XAML Layout for a Dictionary–Part 1


I had a Dictionary of values that I wanted to display in an XAML UI as part of a UWP app. My initial foray was to use a ListView with a binding to the dictionary  ListView.ItemTemplate/DataTemplate.
