Windows 10: Windows 10 IoT Unviersal App executable?

I have Raspberry PI3 with Windows 10 IoT installed and I wan't to control leds that are connected to Raspberry PI3 from another Windows tablet or computer with done with Visual Studio. That much I know it is possible with Universal App.

But is it possible to control the leds from an independent universal application on the Windows tablet or computer?

Windows 10 Enterprise IoT

Hi David,

Embedded Mode can be set in Windows Enterprise and Windows Mobile versions. For target options please see the definitions at

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/windows-iot From that page:

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is a full version of Windows 10 that delivers the enterprise manageability and security of Windows 10 Enterprise to IoT solutions. It is designed for powerful industry devices used in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and other
industries. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise runs crucial line of business applications and performs specialized functions in a secure, reliable and streamlined way to support mission-critical devices.

*Note that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is a binary equivalent to Windows 10 Enterprise

Windows 10 IoT Mobile

Windows 10 IoT Mobile brings the full functionality of Windows 10 Mobile to the Internet of Things. That includes instantaneous application access, native support for barcode scanning, and other peripherals, as well as enhanced productivity for a variety
of mobile scenarios.

The Mobile Enterprise editions also offer capabilities such as ARM support, multiple user profiles, and advanced lockdown to enable scenarios across retail, healthcare, manufacturing and other vertical industries.

Windows 10 IoT Core

Windows 10 IoT Core is optimized for small-footprint, low-cost IoT devices that bring intelligence to the edge. It is designed to power purpose-built devices like gateways that enable IoT solutions. Windows 10 IoT Core also brings enterprise-grade security,
manageability, and connectivity of Windows to a new class of devices.

Below are the steps to bring your IoT Core powered devices to life:

• Click to
  Download IoT Core
• Learn more about how to create applications and build proof of concepts and leverage step-by-step instructions, sample
  code, documentation, community projects and more…
• Ready to sell your product?
  Commercialize your device or
  Find your local distributor.

Actually, IoT Core does not have a menu, that is the default application that comes installed on the sample image from Microsoft. When you create your device you would replace that default experience with the purpose driven application for your solution.
As for securing an IoT device, it really depends on its purpose and environment but for information on IoT Core you can find documentation at WindowsOnDevices.com. Specifically

Sincerely,

 

Our Resident Pi Expert should be along today. Just give him time, since the board was down earlier this morning.

 

I am a Pi Enthusiast but I haven't done anything with Windows 10 IoT, other than have a look see. I've never used Visual Studio and or tried to create my own App etc. I just don't have those skills.

Controlling the LEDS from a preexisting APP somebody else wrote may be tricky. I think you'd have to write your own APP to do that. The Raspberry Pi foundation has a dedicated forum section for Windows 10 for IoT. That might be worth a look see. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...dbe0db50c9e0ef I am a member of that forum and use the same username I use here. Most of my Raspberry Pi projects have been on the Linux side of things, and not dealing with the IoT.
