We all know that designing a polished user-interface by crafting code can be a slow and tedious process. So, we created a visual design tool called Nutshell for our Netduino Go! Touch Display module: Nutshell offers access to most of the features supported by the Touch Display's API and generates the corresponding C# code on the fly for you.Just copy/paste the resulting code in Visual Studio when you're done!
You can use Nutshell without having to install anything since the tool runs JavaScript in your web browser.
You'll never go back to the old way of crafting a user interface on your Netduino microcontroller after you discover Nutshell
Here's a tutorial showing how to build a screen in Nutshell

Fabien,
I saw the required references that had to added to make the display work last night but I can not seem to find then today.
I am getting and error on the Button RoundedCornersStyle not declared. I am importing
Being able to add controls to the display will free up some sockets that I am currently using potentiometers for.
Thanks again for a great product,
Chuck

Imports Nwazet.Go.Display Imports Nwazet.Go.Fonts Imports Nwazet.Go.Imaging Imports Nwazet.Go.Display.TouchScreenI still have to set the touch areas but I think I can do that.

Hi Chuck,
You're likely using an older version of the Touch Display code
Check out, https://bitbucket.or...r/nwazet.go/src, and specifically: https://bitbucket.or...FTLCDTS/Imaging
Since you got your Touch Display, there have been a couple updates, including a firmware update that requires reflashing the display module The code generated by Nutshell makes use of the latest stuff.
Unless you can do it yourself, you should hold off on the latest version of the Touch Display code until Secret Labs makes their standard flash updater available though.

I think I can flash the firmware, but I am also in no big hurry. Plus I am feeling a little lazy today so I think I will wait.
Thanks,
Chuck

This is really cool, Fabien.
The "loop" feature is neat too....something much more modern than I'm used to with Windows Forms
