Appendix D. Class library for Sense HAT sensors

In this appendix, I show you how to develop the Portable Class Library (PCL) and reference it in other projects. The idea is to build a reusable PCL that can be shared across various projects. You can even reuse the common C# code between different platforms.

You use the I²C interface to associate communication with all the Sense HAT sensors. To read and write data through this interface, UWP implements the I2cDevice class. Given the raw bytes obtained from a sensor, you then convert them to meaningful values. The conversion logic is platform-independent, contrary to the I2cDevice object, which is inherent to UWP. Hence, the conversion logic could be used on different platforms, which most likely ...
