Building digital twin of the robotic arm [Technical Question] #3428

Closed addy1997 closed 5 months ago

addy1997 commented 5 months ago

Hi there,

I am new to Azure Digital Twins and Azure IoT hub concepts. To use this SDK to send data from my robotic arm to the IoT hub, do I need to build a digital twin (something like this) first?

If so, what are the best resources to start building quickly?

Hi @addy1997! When getting started with digital twins, I recommend starting out by learning about the DTDL modeling language from docs like this one. Once you have defined your own DTDL model, then you can try out implementing the device-side code like in temperature controller sample you linked above.

this other tutorial might also be helpful to learn how to describe IoTHub device capabilities.
