Ok so I have an idea but I don't know if its actually possible. What I would like to do is have the arduino stream sound from a computers soundcard over the network. I would also like the netduino to in turn, stream a microphone input back to this computer. The idea I have is that the netduino will be like a client which will have the speakers and microphone. The computer or server itself will handle the voice communications. Would the netduino be able to handle this? I understand it would take some coding to get this all working, but I'm not sure on the capabilities of the netduino. Obviously all this will be created on a Netduino Plus. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Completely off topic, but the song "supermassive black hole" is now running through my head. :)

Rexz, welcome to our place. Your idea is theoretically realizable, but you need a powerful platform for both the recording and the playing side. The Netduino hardware itself is very powerful, but you should wipe out the .Net Micro Framework, and use pure native code. This consideration worth also for the Arduino side: I'm not sure an AVR would be able to manage a real-time stream. However, it depends on the sound fidelity, though. Cheers
Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.

Mario, the new Arduinos are moving to an ARM chip (Atmel SAM3U at 96 MHz) and should be able to handle this task with ease. Arduino launches new product at maker faire

Yes, I know about the new Arduino. That's the way I have written "AVR"-based Arduino. The Netduino MCU itself would be able to handle a similar job, I guess. However not on the top of the MF. Cheers

Haha yeah very good song ;)

Anyway I decided that maybe this was a bit above my head. I can code in C# but very basic C so decided to opt for using a small atom computer to handle voice and just use the netduino as an interface.
