Nice work - great project. I am very interested in the netduino platform as we all want more power . I'll be getting as soon as one becomes available.

Question:
Are there plans to ultimately have the netduino capable of serial communication via the usb port like the arduino works?

While I do have a FTDI adapter hanging around, would be nice to be able to just "dock" for power and comms.

I thought I read a post saying they/you are working on making this happen. Just curious if that will come to fruition or if the outlook is bleak / out of the cards.

Thanks You

Hi hookedup, Welcome to the Netduino community! We are working on a USB HID (driverless) communication channel...and are looking at CDC as well. We're not sure if we'll be able to enable CDC _and_ USB debugging at the same time--but we're looking at it. Right now, we're working out some USB issues with Microsoft/Atmel to enable some core tests... Also, some other community members are helping with the effort too... Chris

Chris, Thanks for the fast reply and the good news. Looking forward to getting one and joining the community. Building on existing arduino and .net skills seems very promising. Already read quite a bit of the docs and source code so I should be ready to roll when the "in stock!" e-mail hits the box. Regards, Joseph

Pardon my ignorance, but what's CDC (besides the Centers for Disease Control )?

Communication Device Class

To add to what CW2 said, CDC = "virtual serial port" more or less.

This is a standard USB class define by USB organization. like HID or Mass Storage device classes.

Hi.

its been a while since last post, and I cant find any guide to use the USB port for SERIAL Communication.

ND2 is out there...

 

Is there any guide / progress regard using the USB port as virtual serial port for serial communication ? (For netduino2)

 

Thanks
