Today we’ll look at going from an embedded project concept to a working breadboard prototype with just a few hours of work using the Meadow F7 Feather platform from @WildernessLabs
The project is a speed training aid for Olympic-style saber fencing, but really what we’re looking at is how to do rapid, iterative development of an IoT project in C#, F# or VB.NET.
The Meadow F7 is based on an STM32 and ESP32 pair and is designed for .NET developers to easily get into building IoT solutions.

** DISCLOSURE **
I work for Wilderness Labs, the maker of the Meadow platform I talk about in this video. Even with that, based on my skill set and knowledge, even if I didn’t work for them, I feel it would be the right platform for making this project.
