Hello, I've been tinkering for a while now with my netduino+ and since I'm really not an electronics wiz I maybe missing a much simpler approach then I ended up with. In the end, all I really want to do is communicate with my N+ from my pc, wirelessly. It maybe that I need 2 netduinos, or just one.
So far, I've played around with using webserver to communicate with it, and through the ethernet port, I could slap wireless shield on it and use it, but I have found the webserver approach not very stable for very precise control. For example I want to send commands to it a few times per second, webserver does work but occasionally will stall.
What are other approaches? What is the best approach for communications like this? I do want around 20-40' of wireless connectivity too.
Thanks,
Viktor.
Stable communication between PC and netduino+

You could use an xbee shield on your Netduino and the USB XBee Explorer on your PC.
This will be a wireless UART bridge.

Just to mention, not sure on the application and such, but a cheap method would be to use IR… it is dodgy in direct sunlight and all but I might suit.. You can drive a IR led from the serial port off memory..
