From Web to Hardware: Blazor's Secret IoT Power

Did you know you can control IoT sensors and hardware using just Blazor and C#? In this video, we explore Meadow Blazor—a new integration from Wilderness Labs that lets you connect Blazor Server apps directly to temperature sensors and IoT devices using Visual Studio. I'll show you step-by-step how I connected an FT232H chip to a BME680 sensor (without being a hardware expert!).

From wiring up I²C cables to building a Blazor Server app that reads temperature, humidity, and gas resistance values live, you’ll see how easy it is to start playing with IoT—using just Visual Studio, C#, and Meadow Blazor libraries. And yes, I even show a simple UI to visualize the sensor data!

If I can do this as a software guy, so can you. Let’s get started!
