working on some USB communication options
Sweeet! I look forward to see how it works, Thanks!

Do you have some kind of timeframe for the availability of the communication over USB? Just an estimate, nothing carved in stone of course
By the way I am new to netduino and I am really excited about this platform.
Thank you,
Yves
Hi sweddle,
We're working on some USB communication options, but for now you'll want to use one of the 2 UARTs and a USB-to-UART cable (or use your Arduino as a USB-to-UART converter as you mentioned).
By default, the .NET Micro Framework uses the USB communication channel for deployment/debugging instead...

Hi Yves,
We've finished the code for the device and PC side, but we have two more pieces to go:
1. Tweaks to the Atmel USB code in the .NET MF to enable PC->device HID communciation
2. Code to enable multi channel communication from device to PC (speculative)
I don't have a timeframe, but it will take quite a bit of work to pull everything together. We're working on it, but it's second priority behind the v4.1.1 updates... I know that it will be a cool feature though...

Please don't wait for item #2 to finish before the release of item #1! I'm so anxious to use the Netduino as a Human Interface Device that I don't mind at all if I have to program/debug with the serial port.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your responsiveness and for keeping the community updated. I will keep watching this post for more information. Yes this would be a very cool and useful feature indeed!

JammerX19, Snympi:
Welcome to the Netduino community!
There are three new pieces of code required to get bi-directional comm up and running over USB.
USB/serial deployment selection:
Completed (part of the new v4.1.0.5 firmware)
USB HID C# library for PC and Netduino:
Completed
UsbClient update to Atmel .NET MF C++ code:
In development (Secret Labs + Atmel + Microsoft + community)
So we're most of the way there...but one piece to go. Once v4.1.0.5 ships next week, we'll be doubling down to coordinate the necessary fixes to enable a few different PC<->Netduino communication scenarios.
Chris
Chris,
This is great. Thank you for keeping us posted on this.

Is there any news on this yet? I just ordered the Netduino and am looking forward to using it with a temperature sensor which would need to send back temperature information to the PC. I could order a USB FTDI cable but they are ~$20! I only paid $35 for the Netduino, why should I spend $20 on a cable to communicate with it. The other option is a RS-232 shield but they are ~$12.
It looks like you're pretty close to getting this request figured out, is there any time frame yet?
Great! Are we talking days/weeks/months here?

Unfortunately, as it's a joint endeavor (Atmel+Microsoft+Secret Labs) I don't know 100% for sure. We're _really_ close...but it's that last 1-10% that seems to take forever.

I just recently purchased two netduino's. I got the netduino reading an LM335A temperature sensor and tried to read that data via a virtual com port into a windows app. I was surprised to find out the netduino doesn't show up as a virtual com port! Looking forward to using this functionality once you get it up and running.darkside40,
In the meantime, you can certainly use a serial shield and communicate with the PC via an RS232 cable...
Does anyone have a sample of using a RS232 shield or a 3.3V USB-to-TTL cable to do this?
