(like an module with only one 8x8 matrix, that would be extremely expensive if one would like to drive more than one matrix.. )
Yeah!


the board is too big for robot.

Posted 09 October 2012 - 07:15 PM Yeah, that's one of the reasons why we went for virtualization with GoBus instead of pin mapping like Arduino and Gadgeteer and BeagleBone, etc. GoBus frees users from getting locked into a single ecosystem of components and gives users the ability to add whatever features they need to their project--instead of using up a limited set of microcontroller features as they add components. That said, there are a few dozen Gadgeteer modules and hundreds of Arduino shields out there--so we're making sure that we provide adapters which give users the most options. There's a disturbing phenomena of manufacturers giving out board design files but not letting users know that they've included (and paid license fees for) patented features in those designs. I've even seen these marketed as "100% open source." Some of the Gadgeteer gear falls into this camp. BTW the "E" socket type is for Ethernet modules. Running high-speed non-differential Ethernet signals over long unshielded small-gauge wires is not an optimal scenario. I'd highly recommend using Ethernet via GoBus; we'll be shipping the Ethernet module for Netduino Go soon. Chris

Hi supra,
There are some Gadgeteer modules that have led matrixes. You can connect a few together. Please make sure to check the power consumption of them first; some of them may require an additional power supply. Chris

Yeah! I know abt it. Thank.

Now that I have a Go (with a ShieldBase), what are the chances I can get a hold of a Gadgeteer adapter? I would be happy to help test it. I've got a bunch of Gadgeteer modules just waiting to get some Go juice

Hi ransomhall,
Thank you for your enthusiasm ![]() The first production units should arrive next month. I'll be sure to post an update when they arrive. Would you like me to ping you when the performance beta begins? Chris

Thanks for the humbling welcome Steve! Do you go by this alias on tinyclr or something else? I'm happy to help cross pollinate between these two platforms. I agree on the endless possibilities. We've really just scratched the surface of what these micros can do. Now just to find some endless time ![]()

I'm still getting getting used to your retail supply chain, so does "arrive next month" mean they will be for sale at Amazon et al then? Sure thing on the beta heads up.

Hi ransomhall,
Yes, they should be on Amazon. Amazon carries all of the Netduino-brand products. All authorized resellers can get them as well. Chris

You're more than Welcome Eric. Yes, I'm Gutworks in that forum as well, however I mainly just lurk around in there reading posts. I used to be in the chat room every so often but there wasn't a lot of activity i in there. ![]() Steve Twiiter: https://twitter.com/Gutworks

For the Shield Base ?, i would like to opt in on that, very much indeed. - Ulrik

Ulrik - We're discussing the beta for the gadgeteer adapter.

http://instagram.com/p/Q-MfkNjOm0/ How far away was that hub again? ![]() And I still need to get the display, daq, 7segment, sdcard(maybenot since dac has it), and ethernet, and already now I'm three ports short.. ![]() --
#54
Posted 19 October 2012 - 06:20 PM I can see that the hub will come in handy ![]() We'll be moving the Shield Base to SPI transport later this fall. We're working on the final feature for it now (I2C) and then the switch to SPI (single port) is the next new feature. Lots to play with ![]() Hubs arrive in the spring. We'll start testing hub functionality using a Netduino Go as a hub (via RS-232 or XBee link) and follow up with the dedicated hub modules. Chris

Chris,
In front of me, I'm lucky to have a Netduino Go with the latest firmware, a brand new Netduino Gadgeteer Adapter and a handful of GHI Gadgeteer modules. Now what? Is there a special assembly/driver required for the Gadgeteer Adapter? I saw this working at MakerFaire in your booth, so I know it works. I've got the gear, how do I do the same thing you demoed?

Hi AlfredBr,
Gadgeteer Adapter is scheduled to be released at the end of November. We got the first production hardware a bit early, so we gave them out as gifts at MakerFaire...but you'll need to wait a few weeks for the software.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear at MakerFaire...I thought we gave the full details to everyone, but I may have been so excited to say hi that I forgot to tell you

Okay...Awesome! I'm sure that you mentioned it, I must have missed it between wrangling three kids under 12 and the din of the Faire. I'm very excited for this Fall and what you have in store for us. I'm totally ready for this...

Posted 12 January 2013 - 09:52 PM Hi everyone. I'm new to the Netduino community. I've noticed that there are a lot of modules that are "coming soon", but much of the discussion stops around last October. Are these modules moving forward? When and where can I get a gadgeteer adapter module and an ethernet module?

Hi Gerald,
Hi everyone. I'm new to the Netduino community. I've noticed that there are a lot of modules that are "coming soon", but much of the discussion stops around last October. Are these modules moving forward? When and where can I get a gadgeteer adapter module and an ethernet module?Welcome to the Netduino community. We paused development on the new GoBus modules for a little while late last year, in order to focus on shipping the new Netduino Plus 2 and the 4.2.2 firmware update. We're back to working on GoBus modules again at full speed, so more new modules will start shipping again soon. We just received samples of some new GoBus hardware, actually... Lots to share soon. Chris
