Asking if this is possible with any of the Netduino boards (Netduino, Netduino 2, Netduino Go). Let me explain further. I would like to connect 8 mainboards to a 9th board that is the main controller. The main controller is also
connected to a laptop. Commands are issued from the laptop to the main controller which then sends another command to one of the child boards. Basically I am hoping to have the child boards essentially be addressable. Each child board then has power relays connected to all of their remaining ports, if this was Netduino Go then each of the 8 child boards would have 7 gobus ports left that power relays could be connected to for potentially up to 224 output ports. The idea is basically to use this for powering/controllerdifferent sections of Christmas lights or even firework displays.
I am a newbie to Netduino, haven’t even purchased anything as I am still in the exploratory phase. If anyone can confirm that what I would like to do is possible please let me know, or if there is another way to do what I would like to accomplish please also let me know that.
