Want to write a sensor driver? Windows 7 Beta WDK docs are live on MSDN.com!

  • Article

If you have been wondering about how to support your sensor or location device on Windows 7, wonder no longer! The Windows 7 Sensor WDK documentation is live on MSDN:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb870493.aspx 

 

This documention covers driver development concepts including coverage of the two interfaces of interest:

 

ISensorClassExtension (Docs HERE)

This is the interface for the root Co-Creatable object that sensor drivers use for outgoing calls (Initialization, posting events, etc).

 

ISensorDriver (Docs HERE)

This is the interface that sensor drivers implement as a callback to handle incoming calls. Requests for property data and sensor data are serviced on this callback interface.

 

That's enough to get you started!

 

See ya,
