​OpenThreadDotNet is a .Net library designed to work with the Thread network. To develop 6LoWPAN applications, you will need a radio module running as an OpenThread Network Co-Processor (NCP). More information is available on the webpagehttps://openthread.io/platforms/co-processor

​Currently library works on Net Core platform and reduced versions of the .NET CLR, nanoFramework (https://nanoframework.net/) and TinyCLR (https://www.ghielectronics.com/tinyclr/features/) platforms.

The end device can be used on any module from supported platformshttps://openthread.io/platforms with NCP firmware. The library tested on TI CC2652 based boardhttp://www.ti.com/tool/LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 and nrf52840 based moduleshttp://www.skylabmodule.com/skylab-125k-ram-industry-grade-low-energy-multiprotocol-5-0-ant-bluetooth-module/

OpenThreadDotNet project is .Net implementation of Spinel protocol and high level API to manage Thread network.

LowpanCmd project is a console application to manage Thread networks. Similar topyspinel application.

SamplesNetCore,SamplesNanoFramework andSamplesTinyCLR are basic examples on how to use theOpenThreadDotNet library.

With OpenThreadDotNet library is possible to scan for nearby wireless networks, join to the wireless networks and form a new wireless mesh network.

Form a new Thread wireless network and UDP server we need just 6 lines of code.
