Meadow.Foundation

Meadow.Foundation greatly simplifies the task of building connected things with Meadow, by providing a unified driver and library framework that includes drivers and abstractions for common peripherals such as sensors, displays, motors, and more. Additionally, it includes utility functions and helpers for common tasks when building connected things.

It's completely open source and we welcome pull-requests!

Hello, World Example

With Meadow.Foundation, you can use drivers and hardware abstractions directly. For example, instead of using an IDigitalOutputPort class, an LED can be driven by the the PwmLed class, using high-level methods such as StartBlink(), StartPulse(), and more.

using Meadow;
using Meadow.Devices;
using Meadow.Foundation;
using Meadow.Foundation.Leds;
...

public class MeadowApp : App<F7FeatherV2>
{
    PwmLed pwmLed;

    public override Task Initialize()
    {
        pwmLed = new PwmLed(
            Device,
            Device.Pins.OnboardLedGreen,
            TypicalForwardVoltage.Green);
        return base.Initialize();
    }

    public override Task Run()
    {
        // blink the LED
        pwmLed.StartBlink();

        // keep the app running
        Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
        return base.Run();
    }
}

Huge Peripheral Driver Library

Meadow.Foundation has built in support for most common sensors, motors, and other peripherals available on the market.
