Hello, I guess this question would be for either Chris or Fabian. I am new to the NetduinoGo, and even the Netduino framework in general. I got my NetduinoGo in the other day with the Pot, Button, RGBLED, ShieldBase, Touchscreen, and Relay modules. I have gotten the Pot, RGBLED, and Button modules to work without any issues at all. I have not tried much with the ShieldBase module yet, since it is still in Beta, but plan on doing so shortly. My problems are arising when I try to use the Relay and Touchscreen modules. I have added references to the following files to my project and imported them (in VB.NET): Nwazet.Go.Core Nwazet.Go.STD028ATFTLCDTS Nwazet.Go.Relay When I try to run the program (even without trying to use anything out of these assemblies), it tells me that it needs the following files and can not locate them: %DLLFileLocation%\LE\Nwazet.Go.Core.pe %DLLFileLocation%\LE\Nwazet.Go.STD028ATFTLCDTS.pe %DLLFileLocation%\LE\Nwazet.Go.Relay.pe (%DLLFileLocation% refers to the location of the imported DLL file on my system) I have noticed that the Pot, Button, and RBGLED DLL files all come with these files. However, nothing from the Nwazet namespace does. I downloaded the DLL files from the following website: http://wiki.netduino...GO-Modules.ashx I know that the source files can be downloaded and compiled. But, I am unable to do this as I do not have VisualStudio.NET Ultimate. I can't even open solution files with the express edition of VC#.NET. Does anybody know where I can download all of the appropriate files to make the Touchscreen and Relays work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Billy, I just saw your post and updated the repository accordingly. Download the latest and you'll have everything you need. Sorry about that. Cheers, -Fabien.

Hi BillyPropes, A quick note about .pe files... .NET Micro Framework shrinks down DLL files to PE files, for deployment to the actual device. When you get a .dll file for .NET MF projects, there should be two subdirectories, 'le' and 'be', which each have a .pe file inside them. A bit more tech info: LE and BE are "little endian" and "big endian", which refer to the order bytes are stored inside microcontrollers. .NET MF will automatically pick the right appropriate .pe file to deploy with your application. BTW, welcome to the Netduino community! Chris

Thanks Fabien. Thanks Chris. Haven't tested the Relay yet, but I downloaded new repository and the LCD/TouchScreen seems to be working okay now. Great job guys!!
