Windows Portable Devices (WPD) provides a driver technology that supports a wide range of portable devices. This white paper describes how to create a simple driver. This driver connects a temperature sensor through the WPD API to a sample application.
The driver sample and accompanying document are not intended as solutions for extensive sensor-based systems or robotics. For information about either, see the Microsoft Robotics Studio Developer Center at http://msdn.microsoft.com/robotics/.
This information applies for the following operating systems:
Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows XP
