In addition to the install instructions, Microsoft has created a page for IoT developers with source code examples (and Arduino devices!) on am developing a home automation solution for the last 3 years. With a fresh outlook and new leadership, Microsoft appears genuine in its efforts to work with open-source developers of every platform, even going so far as to provide development tools for Mac OS X and Linux users. I look forward to the opportunities presented by Windows 10 for IoT. So for now, know that you can use a standard USB mouse to click the Settings "gear" icon (to access time zone and wireless settings), and the "power button" icon to shut down and restart the device.įor instructions on how to connect to the Pi via an Ethernet connection, consult this excellent "how-to" published by Microsoft on the hackster.io page.

We can expect Microsoft to continue adding and improving bits of the OS as time marches on. Of the three USB peripherals I attached, only the mouse appeared detectable by the OS.īut things like this are to be expected: After all, the OS is named Windows 10 Core Insider Preview. In addition to a small HDMI monitor connected to Pi's HDMI port and an Ethernet cable, I attached different combinations of hardware to the Pi's USB ports: Keyboard, mouse - even a Wi-Fi stick that shipped as part of this CanaKit Raspberry PI 2 kit: I ran the quick "flash" process multiple times - from scratch - testing a variety of Pi 2 hardware configurations.
