Altimeter sample

This sample demonstrates the use of the Windows.Devices.Sensors.Altimeter API.

This sample allows the user to view the change in altitude reading as a value in meters. You can choose one of two scenarios:

  • Altimeter Data Events
  • Polling Altimeter Readings

Altimeter Data Events

When you choose the Enable button for the Data Events option, the app will begin streaming Altimeter readings in real time.

Polling Altimeter Readings

When you choose the Get Data button for the Polling option, the app will retrieve the current sensor readings.

System requirements

Client: Windows 10

Server: Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview

Phone: Windows 10

Build the sample

  1. If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
  2. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
  3. Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio 2015 Solution (.sln) file.
  4. Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.

Run the sample

The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.

Deploying the sample

  • Select Build > Deploy Solution.

Deploying and running the sample

  • To debug the sample and then run it, press F5 or select Debug > Start Debugging. To run the sample without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or selectDebug > Start Without Debugging.
