-Hi all, first post and new to the Netduino world. Background about me: about 5-7 years .net c# experience, on and off, some commercial, some not.
I've been having about a 20% success rate with the Freetronics LCD shield, and this is really hampering my real work with industrial serial I/O. The dratted thing more often than not ignores what I send to it, and usually just spits out garbage. Except once in a while it plays ball, showing the correct data and I've not yet been able to figure out a pattern to its madness.
Now, I'm not a 'tard, I do understand serial protocol handshaking, and even think I understand how magnets work, but this has me beat.
Could any enlightened soul either:
Help me to get the damn thing to work,
OR
Point me at a better (working) product.
Thanks, Bruce.
