Building a Robot Arm with .NET 8, Raspberry Pi, Blazor and SignalR
In this session we'll run through everything needed to build a Robot Arm with a Raspberry Pi, .NET 8 a Blazor App and SignalR.
We'll begin by seeing how easy it is to install .NET 8.
Then we'll see how we've connected up the various components to our Raspberry Pi.
Next we'll spin up a console application to explore how we can control the GPIO on the Pi.
We'll then examine the code to start moving the connected servos for our Raspberry Pi based Robot Arm.
Next we'll look at a simple Blazor and SignalR app to control our robot remotely!
Finally we'll have a look at how we can use an Meta Quest 3 to interact with our Robot Arm in VR!
This session will appeal to all knowledge levels. A working knowledge of programming will help, but all the code will be shared on GitHub!
Supercharge your data with Azure AI Search and OpenAI
In this session we will take a look at how we can combine the power of Azure AI Search and OpenAI to allow us to gain insights over our own data.
Using a .NET 8 Blazor app along with SignalR and C#, we'll begin by taking a walk through the Azure OpenAI Service looking at the basics of GenAI, the OpenAI Playground and the .NET SDK.
We'll then take a look at Azure AI Search including; Chunking, Indexes, Vectorisation, Facets, Search and more.
Finally, we'll move on to looking at how we can combine AI Search and OpenAI to supercharge our own data.
This session will appeal to both beginners to Azure OpenAI and AI Search as well as learners wishing to expand their knowledge of these services to further their skillset.
IoT with nothing but your laptop
Gettting started with IoT can be daunting! Although the cost of IoT hardware has reduced dramatically over the last few years, you still need to choose the right IoT option, figure out what accessories it needs, order it all from Amazon and wait for it to arrive
With the advent of HTML 5, so comes the ability to simulate a lot of IoT kit right there in your web browser. We'll walk through a few of the best online simulators for IoT technology, which will give you a head start into the world of IoT. This way you can forgo all the procrastinating, and get to (virtually)
After attending this session you'll understand;
BBC Micro:Bit, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Mx Chip, Azure IoT Hubs and how to use all of these without spending a penny!
Who this talk is suitable for;
This talk is suitable for anybody who has an interest in IoT but doesn't have a well rounded knowledge of all the platforms and options out there.
