Creating an app in Visual Studio and connect to MakeBlock Orion

#1

Hi all!

I would like to create a C# app in Visual Studio 2015 (Universal App) and connect to MakeBlock Orion board over bluetooth, get sensor data and control the motors. Is there a C# or C++ firmware for MakeBlock Orion (which can work with Visual Studio and does not require Arduino IDE). What would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,
Jevgeni

To communicate you will need to get the firmata codes from the Github repo (link), open a serial port corresponding with the Bluetooth connection, then send and receive codes, data, etc…

Thanks, I think I have tried that and the run into an issue that Header files imported “Arduino.h” header file, which I couldn’t find. Do you know how to resolve that?

The Arduino.h files is under the Java /hardware/arduino/avr/cores/arduino directory in the Arduino installation.

@tec_support, can you help?
