I am however struggling with this device
http://www.seeedstud...l?cPath=132_134
I have located this helper wiki:
http://www.seeedstud...RS_Shield_v0.9b
I have located a helper library here:
http://netduino2seedgsm.codeplex.com/
I have downloaded the helper library and have tried to post simple SMS messages with no real luck. It seems that when I insert my break points into simple code like this Visual Studio simply dies when I try to watch a variable or even mouse over an object.
'static int bufferLength = 0; Public Sub New(Optional ByVal portName As String = SerialPorts.COM1, Optional ByVal baudRate As Integer = 19200, Optional ByVal parity__1 As Parity = Parity.Odd, Optional ByVal dataBits As Integer = 8, Optional ByVal stopBits__2 As StopBits = StopBits.One) serialPort = New SerialPort(portName, baudRate, parity__1, dataBits, stopBits__2) serialPort.ReadTimeout = -1 serialPort.WriteTimeout = 10 serialPort.Handshake = Handshake.XOnXOff serialPort.Open() AddHandler serialPort.DataReceived, New SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(AddressOf serialPort_DataReceived) End Sub
My question is this... are there any good reference links to getting started with serial communication using the netduino Plus?
Secondly if anyone has experience developing with this shield and is interested in making some contract money I will pay for the work to be done - I have all the control logic built I am just struggling to get around the communication piece of this.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
