Hi ... I'm new to all of this (netduino and C#) so sorry if I use some incorrect terms :) I have managed to get my netduino to run my stepper motor via a Sparkfun Easydriver. At the moment I am using Interupt ports and the onboard switch to "drive" things. ie I count the number of button presses (ie. for reverse motor direction, stop after 5 presses etc.) I've seen a really nice web-page based interface for the netduino plus and I'd like to do something similar using a windows applicatations with the netduino. Essentially I'd like to fill in values (motor direction + number of steps) on a form and submit these to the netuino to send to the easydriver and on to the motor itself. Is this currently possible and/or will it be in the near future. Thanks

At the moment I believe the USB port is used exclusively for code upload and debugging. I think to change this there needs to be some firmware changes. You will probably need to add a serial interface to communicate as a client to your code.

You can't use the USB port on the Netduino but you can connect the PC to the Netduino through a serial port (COM1). Most people use a USB to Serial cable like this one: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9717

Thanks for the replies. I looked at those serial converters and found a tutorial as well. This may be the way I need to go. Is there plans to allow bi-directional use of the USB cable in the near future ? thanks

Future, yes. Right now a small number of scenarios work. We're not calling it "supported" until the full UsbClient feature set is supported. There are a few glitches in the core Atmel USB code, but hopefully we can get them sorted out soon.
