Answer 1

Hello @Nikesh Mangal ,

There are Prerequisites before you can proceed to Create a programming project for a real device

Below are the details:

static string ScopeID = "<your Scope ID>";
static string DeviceID = "<your Device ID>";
static string PrimaryKey = "<your device Primary Key>";

Get these values from your IoTCentral app.

static string AzureMapsKey = "<your Azure Maps key>";

Get it from your Azure Maps Account.

Please let us know if you need further help in this matter!

The primary and secondary keys are Azure Maps keys. Use either one (normally primary is used). The reason for having to is so that in the future you can switch to the other and cycle the previous one, a process known as cycling keys, which is a common security process.
