Welcome to a comprehensive environmental sensing journey with your Raspberry Pi! This project brings the versatile Pimoroni Enviro pHAT to life using C# and .NET, transforming your Pi into an environmental monitoring station.
With this .NET IoT implementation, you can:
- 🌡️ Monitor temperature and pressure with the BMP280 sensor
- 🎨 Detect colors and light levels with the TCS3472 sensor
- 🧭 Track motion and orientation with the LSM303D accelerometer/magnetometer
- ⚡ Measure analog inputs with the ADS1115 ADC
- 💡 Control the onboard LED for status indication
Perfect for environmental monitoring, motion detection, and IoT experimentation!
- Raspberry Pi (any model with 40-pin GPIO)
- Pimoroni Enviro pHAT
- I²C enabled on your Raspberry Pi
- .NET SDK installed on your Raspberry Pi
- I²C interface enabled (
sudo raspi-config) - Git (for cloning the repository)
-
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotnet-iot-raspberrypi-enviro.git cd dotnet-iot-raspberrypi-enviro -
Build and run:
dotnet run --project Enviro
- Real-time sensor data reading and display
- Automated sensor polling every 10 seconds
- LED status indication
- Error handling and graceful shutdown
- Clean, documented C# code following best practices
The project implements drivers for:
- BMP280 temperature/pressure sensor
- TCS3472 color/light sensor
- LSM303D accelerometer/magnetometer
- ADS1115 analog-to-digital converter
Each sensor is properly initialized and configured for optimal performance.
I like to tinker around with Raspberry Pis, I created a couple of educational apps and scripts regarding the Pi and sensors - mostly from Pimoroni.
