    Hey everyone,

    I want to control a PLC (TIA/S7) with AR buttons.
    So my question is how to do this.

    I have one idea but I don't know is it possible:

    I have a Windows platform program build with c#/visual studio. With this program I can communicate with the plc over network.
    I have also a WiFi access point.
    I want to connect the hololens with the access point and send a "telegram" (local).

    And the other idea was:
    With the Azure cloud maybe. So I have to send the data to the cloud an read the data with my software.

    I'm hope there is a solution to bring it to work.
    (And sorry for my bad English)

    Hey,

    This is a very HoloLens and UWP specific problem, so I'd recommend you post this on Microsoft's Mixed Reality Toolkit Slack channel. You can gain access to their Slack channels using this link: https://holodevelopersslack.azurewebsites.net/

    In general, as far as I know, you should be able to port your existing code into Unity scripts, integrate HoloLens and Azure functionality, but there will probably be issues that Microsoft developers are better able to help with.
