Intercore Comms Example

[djaus2]

I've been working for some time on a project djaus2/Soft-ata which is like Firmata but its host is .NET. A Pico W runs as a TCPIP service to which the host (currently a .NET Console or Blazor app) connects and orchestrates various functions on teh Pico W. The .NET interface is a reusable library that abstracts the Arduino functionality. Specific Senors, Displays and Actuators have been encompassed. In time, other devices can be added.

The Sensors fuctionality has been extended to include Telemetry submission to an Azure IoT Hub, or Bluetooth transmission of a json string. These two, once started run autonomously in the second core. The second core thread is controlled by commands, such as pause,continue and stop, pushed from the first core. This interaction between the cores has been formalised as an example of Intercore communications. A discussion covers it here Intercaore blog post.
