Hello.. this is very exciting.
I have never played with arduino either. Can the Netduino work with the LoL shield? The LoL description refers to a library that must be installed.

Is that required? Or can the C# code perform these same functions as the library etc?
Thanks for your patience. Lots to learn!

It appears right now that a lot of the shields will work, but the drivers would need to be rewritten for the .NET MF. I'm not sure how hard this is, as I've not worked with the Arduino, but if someone writes up a tutorial I'd be happy to start doing this!

Pretty much ALL Arduino compatible shields work, but right now there aren't a ton of NETMF drivers at this point. As the Netduino and similar products continue to thrive in the hobby environment, you will see a very large increase in the availability of component drivers.
That said, coding a driver is an excellent way to learn how NETMF and your dev board of choice work. So, if you don't find a driver, code it yourself and give back to the community!

Thanks very much... that is what I hoped would be the answer. I feel that as long as the hardware works, I should be able to get the software to work (with help from the community)!
