How do I access a GPS from Windows IoT on Rasperry Pi? - gps

I have done this when running Debian using gpsd. But when running Windows IoT preview...what is a way to get the NMEA sentences off an attached GPS (on the USB port). Is that kind of support around yet?

Currently this support is not yet available but it is being actively developed. Furthermore the Geolocator API is broken. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA for this but its coming.

Is there any way to use Kinect SDK remotely with network?

The Azure Kinect sensor SDK requires Kinect to connect directly to pc via usb, but it's not appropriate to me. Is it posible to use something like raspberry pi to transfer kinect sensor data and process on a remote server? Do you have any suggestions for this?
I found the Kinect sdk does not support ARM architecture(raspberry pi),what other device can I use?
Processing the depth camera image requires GPU compute, so we don't currently support headless operation. There are some users that have successfully enabled headless operation on Linux, but it is not a straight forward path. See https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/issues/810 for more info.

What is the plug is on the Plugable MXChip AZ3166 IoT DevKit?

I'm looking at prototyping a couple of solutions using the MXChip AZ3166 that require a number of external devices like GPS, Display and Comms hardware.
Does anyone know what connectors can be used with the "Pluggable" MXChip AZ3166 IOT Devkit, or if there are any breakout boards available for it?
In Mxchip AZ3166, there is a edge connector on the board that is compatible with BBC Micro:bit accessories. So you could easily extend it with external devices.
More information of Micro:Bit could be find here: https://www.kitronik.co.uk/microbit/bbc-micro-bit-accessories.html
And you could check this example https://github.com/jimbobbennett/InternetConnectedFan on how to use Micro:Bit to connect to external devices.

Using Roku's USB for ECP 'query' commands?

I added an ESP8266 nodeMCU for TV and SoundBar IR commands. It also provides a LAN server delivering an HTML/javascript based remote controller to my devices - computer, tablets and mobile phones.
I use this same remote setup for both a Roku4 w/ an old Dynex (dumb) TV as well as a newer TCL Roku Smart TV w/ soundbar.
Question is, can I access Roku data as used to be provided by ECP queries like '/query/apps' and '/query/active-app' via the Roku's USB port? ...if not, what is required to accomplish this end?
The definitive answer from the Roku folks is no. It's use is for data storage devices.

Updating firmware using the Azure IoT Hub

I intend to use the IoT Hub to update firmware of my Edison device utilising its bi-directional capability although I am not sure of where to look for detailed instructions on how to do it. The only information I have found on the subject is HERE but doesn't go into detail on how exactly to do it, more a high level overview. Does anyone have any knowledge on how this is to be done or know any links that will help?
Thanks
The link you provided returns 404 for me right now; maybe that's temporary...
I work for Microsoft, on the Device Management SDK team for IoT Hub. The new Device Management capabilities we announced at Build last week should give you exactly what you need, but there isn't much info because the features aren't available to the public just yet.
For a preview, take a look at this video from Build where we demo'd firmware update on the Intel Edison. The device management segment starts at about 35 min, demo at 40 min.
To do firmware update using only what's available publicly today in IoT Hub, you'd probably start by sending a cloud-to-device message to your Edison. Of course, exactly how you go about downloading and updating the firmware after that is specific to your device and scenario.
Here is the link to the repo which allows you to update firmware remotely using the IoT Hub. Thanks MS!

Tokbox video chat give connection timeout error

It working on same OS machine. If i am publisher with used of mac machine and subscriber side am using ubuntu os then give server connection timeout error.
If OpenTok is working on the same machine but not across multiple machines, the issue is most likely caused by your network. You can check if your network supports webrtc using this tool: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/opentok-diagnostic/elanokbchpinmganpfaigciognfpcfei
If you are using flash, you have to enable rmtp ports. Check your network by going to the flash diagnostic tool here: http://tokbox.com/user-diagnostic/
