I'm trying to make a dmx controller with a netduino.
the basics of dmx is to send a bit every 4 microseconds. Has anybody an idea on how to wait 4microseconds? The thread.Sleep method only works with milliseconds

Hi michielvd,
Two options:
1. If you want to use serial to control DMX, another community member just posted their DMX comm project.
2. .NET MF won't give you microsecond-resolution pauses...but you can write your DMX driver code in native C++ if you'd like and compile it into the firmware...and then call it from .NET MF.

I already read the post and it seems like a valid idea. I tried this myself but I just couldn't figure out how the SerialPort class works. I hope I can get it working now.
Thanks for the reply.
