Hi. I was wondering if anyone has tried connecting a Netduino Plus to a Windows 8 PC? I have installed SDK's and so, and the Netduino Plus is recognised as a Netduino, but newer shows up in Visual Studio. Netduino Go works fine...

Hi Nicky, I'm running Netduino, Netduino Plus, Netduino Mini, and Netduino Go on my Windows 8 machine. All running the latest firmware. Netduino Plus uses the new WinUSB drivers. Can you please check that you've updated .NET MF 4.2 to the .NET MF 4.2 QFE2 SDK on your computer? Chris

The machine is at home, so I can't check atm, but I'm nearly a hundred percent sure that I never have had another SDK than 4.2 QFE2 installed. The Windows installation is only about a month old :s

Btw, at first I installed Netduino 4.2 SDK, when that didn't work I removed the Netduino SDK and installed Netduino 4.1 SDK and 4.2 SDK again.

Windows recognised is as a Netduino device, but it just don't show up :s

We have been using our NetduinoGo on Windows8 with no problems. I have not tried a Netduino Plus, but will give it a go tonight (have to upgrade the firmware to 4.2 first) and report back.

Goddammit.. I have QFE1 installed... I downgraded because I was trying to recompile the source.. idiot.

Thanks Chris! I'll bring my precious with me home one of the next days, and see if that solves the problem.

How do i check that? I have a new Surface Pro Win8 machine and VS2010 and I am trying to deploy to a Netduino Mini and it cant seem to deploy to the device using serial and a selected com port (it selects the com port on its own so i know its sees the device). The deployment and software works fine on my Win7 machine. I really want to get this working on the MS Surface because it makes testing super mobile.

 

Anybody got simple steps for me to check? Thanks

Hi James,

Can you try changing your deployment transport (in project properties > .net micro framework) to USB and then back to Serial? To make sure that the serial port selection registered properly? Also...what happens if you try to Ping the device from MFDeploy (Start > .NET Micro Framework > Tools > MFDeploy.exe)? I have a Surface RT, which I love. That Surface Pro of yours is a pretty amazing upgrade; I wish I had one for remote debugging of NETMF apps Chris
