[XQuirrel]

Hi, I'm porting an application from Arduino's C library to NetDuino's .Net Micro Framework's C Sharp. Is anyone able to give me a leg up on how the following Arduino sketch would look in Netduino environment? #include <SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial GPS = SoftwareSerial(2,3); void setup() { GPS.begin(4800); Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { Serial.print(GPS.read(), BYTE); } On my Arduino, this code takes a single serial tx input from a GPS module on pin 2 at 4800 baud (I don't use the rx side on 3) and outputs is straight to the Arduino IDE console at 115200 baud, what I want to do is output the same to the Visual Studio Output window using Debug.print("Pin 2 Tx Yardy Yardy"); Any helpers out there Hey Peeps, I solved it myself, but for fellow newbies here is the solution: using System; using System.IO; using System.IO.Ports; using System.Threading; using Microsoft.SPOT; using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware; using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus; namespace XQuirrel { public class Program { public static void Main() { SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort("COM1", 4800, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); serialPort.Open(); while (true) { int bytesToRead = serialPort.BytesToRead; if (bytesToRead > 0) { byte[] buffer = new byte[bytesToRead]; serialPort.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); Debug.Print(new String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(buffer))); } } } } Here's some example output (which is exactly what I expected ... also note that as I am indoors that the lattitude and longitude show up as V (corrupted data). $GPGGA,221619.166,,,,,0,00,,,M,0.0,M,,0000*58 $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E $GPGSV,3,1,12,20,00,000,,10,00,000,,31,00,000,,27,00,000,*7C $GPGSV,3,2,12,19,00,000,,07,00,000,,04,00,000,, 24,00,000,*76 $GPGSV,3,3,12,16,00,000,,28,00,000,,26,00,000,,29,00,000,*78 $GPRMC,221619.166,V,,,,,,,171011,,*26 $GPGGA,221620.163,,,,,0,00,,,M,0.0,M,,0000*57 $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E $GPRMC,221620.163,V,,,,,,,171011,,*29 You can find out what it all means by Googling NMEA for the global GPS standard. The module I used is the EM-408 GPS, which I got from CoolComponents here in the UK.
