This directory is intended for device bindings, for sensors, displays, human interface devices and anything else that requires software to control. We want to establish a rich set of quality bindings to make it really straightforward for developers to use .NET to connect devices together to produce weird and wonderful IoT applications.

We want to establish a rich set of quality .NET bindings to make it straightforward to use .NET to connect devices together to produce weird and wonderful IoT applications.
Our vision: the majority of bindings are written in .NET languages to enable portability, use of a single tool chain and complete debugability from application to binding to driver.

## Binding Distribution
We are currently encouraging source distribution of device bindings. The [trimpot sample](../../sample/trimpot/trimpot.csproj) references the [Mcp3008](Mcp3008.csproj) within this repo. You can clone this repo and use the sample project reference model to a device binding or copy bindings directly into your project.

We may publish NuGet packages of device bindings at a later date.

* include a .NET Core project file
* include a descriptive README, with a fritzing diagram
* include a buildable sample (either beside the binding or a [sample](../samples))
* include a buildable sample (either beside the binding or a [sample](../../samples))
* use the System.Device API
We are currently not accepting samples that rely on native libraries for hardware interaction. This is for two reasons: we want feedback on the System.Device API and we want to encourage the use of 100% portable .NET solutions. If a native library is used to enable precise timing, please file an issue so that we can discuss your proposed contribution further.
