Could not seem to find a delay of sleep method in microsecond range.  Have the AM2302 sensor from Adafruit and requires pulling line low/high in microsecond range sometimes.  Is this possible with board?

 

using netduino plus 2, c# and new to everything

 

Thanks

Hi ScapeGoat,

There's no microsecond sleep function in NETMF, but you could approximate the # of microseconds by creating a loop that "does nothing".

One note of caution: the GC could kick in at any time, so exact microsecond sleep isn't something that we can guarantee from managed code.

We've thought about creating an "output compare" feature for NETMF that would output a sequence of low/high states in native code. Perhaps that's something that could help in this scenario (recognizing of course that I'm talking about a feature which doesn't exist right now).
