The Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware namespace provides a range of essential hardware features that programmers can use when developing embedded device firmware.

Classes

---

	Name	Description
	Battery	Provides methods for querying the state of the device's battery.
	>Battery.ChargerModel	Contains information describing the battery charger.
	Cpu	Provides access to CPU-specific functionality.
	HardwareProvider	Provides access to information about pin assignments for serial communications devices.
	I2CDevice	Represents an instance of the I2C interface for an I2C device.
	I2CDevice.Configuration	Represents a configuration for an I2C interface object.
	I2CDevice.I2CReadTransaction	Represents an I2C transaction that reads from the addressed device.
	I2CDevice.I2CTransaction	Represents an I2C transaction.
	I2CDevice.I2CWriteTransaction	Represents an I2C transaction that writes to the addressed device.
	InputPort	Represents an instance of an input port that can be used to read the value of a GPIO pin.
	InterruptPort	Represents an interrupt port.
	OutputPort	Sets the value of a GPIO pin for an instance of the OutputPort class.
	Port	Constitutes the input/output (I/O) port base class for managing General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins, containing the necessary logic to handle read and write requests.
	ScreenMetrics	Contains information about the display device.
	SerialPort	Provides a connection to a serial communications port that supports reading and writing.
	SerialPort.Configuration	Represents the configuration for a SerialPort object.
	SPI	Represents an instance of the Microwire/SPI interface for a Microwire/SPI device.
	SPI.Configuration	Represents the configuration for an SPI interface.
	SystemID	Stores information that is unique to each individual hardware system (device).
	TristatePort	Represents an instance of the TristatePort class.
	Utility	Provides a collection of helper functions you can use to configure settings for security, collections, driver manipulation, time, and idle CPU usage.

Interfaces

	Name	Description
	IHardwareProvider	Represents a hardware provider.

Delegates

---

	Name	Description
	GPIOInterruptEventHandler	Denotes a delegate that is invoked when an interrupt occurs.

Enumerations

---

	Name	Description
	Cpu.Pin	Indentifies the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins.
	Port.InterruptMode	Contains the values you use to set the port interrupt mode. There are six port interrupt modes to choose from.
	Port.ResistorMode	Specifies the various port resistor modes.
	SerialPort.BaudRate	Specifies the baud rates of serial ports, in bits per second (bps).
	SerialPort.Serial	Contains the values with which you set the serial communications port (COM port) you want to use.
	SPI.SPI_module	Contains the values that indicate which SPI bus is used for the transaction.
