I have searched the forum and I can't find anything  concerning this topic.  Is there any existing code for using a Tinkerkit shield with a netduino?  I have the library .h and .cpp files but I have no experience at all with C++ or arduino code.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

If I am posting this in the wrong place please let me know.  I am using a Netduino Plus 2 so I thought it should go here.  I have currently discovered the following about the Tinkerkit board Basic Kit:

On the Output side:

Digital Pin 3 ties to Output pad 5 Digital Pin 5 ties to Output pad 4 Digital Pin 6 ties to Output pad 3 Digital Pin 9 ties to output pad 2 Digital pin 10 ties to Output pad 1 Digital pin 11 ties to Output pad 0

 

On the Input Side:

Analog pin 5 reads from Input pad 5 Analog pin 4 reads from Input pad 4 Analog pin 3 reads from Input pad 3 Analog pin 2 reads from Input pad 2 Analog pin 1 reads from Input pad 1 Analog pin 0 reads from Input pad 0

 

I can blink a Tinkerkit LED using any of the Output pads and PWM.  I can also read from a Tinkerkit knob from any of the analog Input pins and debug print the value between zero and one corresponding to the knob's position.  All this means I can use a Tinkerkit board and it's attaching components with a Netduino.  What I can't do is put that information into a class and package it so it is easy to use.  Does anyone have any suggestions or possibly a generic class written in VB so I can figure it out myself?  Thanks for any replies.

Jeez I feel like I did something wrong.  82 views and not even a "You silly newb..." response.  Well to simplify matters I purchased an Arduino Uno and decided to just surrender.  All the sensors and action components work fine.  I have the Ardiuno sketch library that makes everything easy.  I would have liked to complete this project with the Netduino but I need some way to package the information I discovered and just don't have the necessary programming skills to pull it off.  If anyone SHOULD happen to have a C# class skeleton that they would be willing to share I would be very grateful.  Meanwhile it is very quiet out here...Maybe too quite.  :unsure:

I suspect that it's just that no-one who read your post has worked with the Tinker kit.

Yeah...I haven't messed with any of the TinkerKits.  I did buy a DMX shield for $2.50 when Radio Shack had them on closeout but haven't had the time (or the project) to dig into it at all.
