Azure Sphere RemoteX Client Library

The RemoteX project provides remote access to Azure Sphere peripherals from a POSIX C application. The project is similar in nature to the Raspberry Pi Remote GPIO with the pigpio C Interface and Arduino Firmata projects.

Refer to the DesktopDevX and RemoteX wiki video for information on the AzureSphereRemoteX Server and Azure Sphere Client Library.

Architecture

Including the Azure Sphere RemoteX client library in your project

You would normally submodule the RemoteX client library into your project

git submodule add https://github.com/Azure-Sphere-DevX/AzureSphereRemoteX.Client.git AzureSphereRemoteX

Examples using the RemoteX Client Library

You can find examples for the RemoteX Client libary at the following locations:

• DesktopDevX Examples
• AzureSphereDevX.Examples

CMakeLists.txt updates

Add reference to the RemoteX client library

Azure Sphere RemoteX Server IP Address

This is the address of the Azure Sphere running the AzureSphereRemoteX.Server to your CMakeLists.txt file.

add_compile_definitions(AZURE_SPHERE_REMOTEX_IP="192.168.10.117")

SPI peripheral performance mode

Enabling this flag in the CMakeLists.txt file will improve performance of SPI peripherals that don't require a response. For example a LED 8x8 Panel.

add_compile_definitions(AZURE_SPHERE_REMOTEX_PERFORMANCE_MODE)
