Hi Scott, We tried the firmware both ways, but each has different side effects. Once the .NET MF 4.2 RTM ships (in a few days, with a little luck) we'll build a few versions and test them in the community. Once the issue is resolved, we'll ship official .NET MF 4.2 firmware for all three Netduinos...and likely an updated and signed driver as well. Chris

Chris, Has there been any real progress on getting this bug fixed? This first report I see of this on Codeplex was way back in June and it doesn't look like any progress has been made towards resolution. Does the forum software have the ability to take a vote? Seems like it would be good to know how many people are affected by this bug. Scott...

Hi Scott,

Has there been any real progress on getting this bug fixed? This first report I see of this on Codeplex was way back in June and it doesn't look like any progress has been made towards resolution.

Does the forum software have the ability to take a vote? Seems like it would be good to know how many people are affected by this bug.

The issue was at least partially resolved by the new 4.2 beta drivers and the new way that the 4.2 RC3 firmware resets the board. If you're having the same issue using .NET MF 4.2 on the board...then please raise the issue on CodePlex again... It may be specific to certain types of USB/computer hardware configurations.

I know the last post was very long ago, but I had the same problem and think I have a solution. I was coding everything in separate threads and allowing Main() to end, with the remaining threads actually doing the work. With a lot of trial and error, I finally decided to let Main() live forever, even though the thread had no work left to be done. Once I placed Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite); at the end of Main(), I have never had to reset my USB connection. Hope this is helpful.

Jarrid:

 

Your solution worked for me, too, and I had the same problem almost two years after this thread started!

 

Thanks for the help!

I just bought a Netduino 3 and seem to be having a similar problem.  

 

I tried the "pushing the onboard button" from "getting started with netduino" and a similar thing happen.  

 

Sequence of what happens:

-I upload the program to the netduino 

-I press and release the onboard button

-The computer makes the USB disconnect sound

-The LED turns on for about 5 seconds

-LED turns off

 

If I press and hold the onboard button:

-I press and hold the onboard button

-The computer makes the USB disconnect sound and the onboard LED turns on

-I release the onboard button

-The USB reconnect sound comes from the computer

-The LED stays on for an additional 5 seconds after the button release

-The LED goes out

 

 

Here is the code:

 

using System;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Sockets;

using System.Threading;

using Microsoft.SPOT;

using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;

using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;

using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino;

 

namespace buttonOnboardLED

{

    public class Program

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            // write your code here

            OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false);

            InputPort button = new InputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_BTN, false, Port.ResistorMode.Disabled);

 

            bool buttonState = false;

            while (true)

            {

                buttonState = button.Read();

                led.Write(buttonState);

            }

 

        }

 

    }

}

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Would you please post an example of code for this?

 

I attempted to add it and get an warning "unreachable code"

 

using System;

using System.Net;

using System.Net.Sockets;

using System.Threading;

using Microsoft.SPOT;

using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;

using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;

using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino;

 

namespace buttonOnboardLED

{

    public class Program

    {

        public static void Main()

        {

            // write your code here

            OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false);

            InputPort button = new InputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_BTN, false, Port.ResistorMode.Disabled);

 

            bool buttonState = false;

            while (true)

            {

                buttonState = button.Read();

                led.Write(buttonState);

            }

            Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);

        }

    }

}

Hi 

 

Sorry about the late response I missed you post

 

 while (true)

            {

                buttonState = button.Read();

                led.Write(buttonState);

            }

            Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);

 

The unreachable code is the Thread.Sleep the while (true) loop will execute forever and won't exit.

 

If you want to do event driven version the code would look something like

   {
      public static void Main()
      {
         InterruptPort button = new InterruptPort(Pins.ONBOARD_BTN,false,ResistorModes.Disabled, Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeHigh )

         button.OnInterrupt +=button_OnInterrupt;

         Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite) ;
      }

      static void button_OnInterrupt(uint data1, uint data2, DateTime time)
      {
       // Do stuff here 
      }
   }
