Spent this weekend writing and testing new robot code to accept command messages. So far so good (with dummy messages). Now I need to do some more Python to bring the raspberry Pi up to date..

Just connected a micro RC servo to a set of N-guage points (turnout). Controlled by Netduino of course.

Spent all afternoon making a UDP receive class that does not mind if the Ethernet port is not active when the software starts up. I have to keep reminding myself - its a hobby, I enjoy this.

I now have split my buggy between two Netduinos. One drives the motors and reads the sensors, the other displays the status on a LED array. The buggy sends UDP packets to the display Netduino to indicate the current status.

My buggy is now using v4.2 on a Netduino Plus v1. At last! Took a while to sort out the v4.1 code to make it work with v4.2 (this was why I held out for so long). Now I just need to make the Ethernet do something useful!

Aggggh - Always SAVE before DEBUGGING in case Visual Studio needs to close

Strange - it used to crash like this on my old PC, then I got a new PC and it was fine until I registered today.

Happy easter everyone. My Easter gift from google - all my appointments screwed up by daylight saving time change. Did a seatch online - people have been complaining about this for years on Android.

Updated my second Netduino plus v1. Now I can connect them "back-to-back" and send UDP messages to remote control a gpio. Only took 2 months!

So it turns out that Android isn't that bad after all - IF YOU BUY A DECENT DEVICE. Its still really confusing coming from a Palm!

My hated Sumvision Android tablet killed itself. So I have got an Archos 43 Internet Tablet. It's Android but it works!

I bought two 2nd hand Netduino plus rev B's. Tried to send UDP from one to the other - failed miserably. Going to update to v4.2.

Sorry you had gave up on the electric bike Paul. It seemed like such a nice idea :-)

I have not given up completely, I am just waiting for a whole week without rain!
Could be a long wait....

Its snowing. The schools are all shut and the roads all clogged with cars. How could a Netduino help? Any ideas out there?

I finally have a working buggy. Bashed out some aluminium to mount all my sensors. Completed a simple navigation program. Now I just have to connect it to the Raspberry Pi I got for Christmas!
