I am wondering if this book is still planned to be offered from electronic download soon? I cannot find any reference to this book other than in a previous post. I cannot find anything on Oreilly's site nor Amazon's?

[Chris Walker]

dm3281, I believe that it should be posted by late November. I'll post here on the forums when it's up. Chris

Well it doesn't get much later in November than the 29th (Ok the 30th is later). Very anxious to check out this book. Any news about its release? I have about 400 lines of Arduino Code for an equipment network project I have developed and was hoping this book would help ease the porting process some. Looking to move to the Netduino Plus.

I'll drop someone at O'Reilly a note to see what their schedule is looking like...

Anyone have a link or details of the book?

I've thought about writing a book on the Netduino myself... but I'd probably do better with a "electronics whiz" partner. Someone who knows the EE theory well.

I'm a software guy, dabbling in hardware.

Okay, it looks like the rough cut of the book will be published to coincide with the Netduino Plus launch. Should be online by early next week.

O'Reilly has just published the "Rough Cut" of this new book. Getting Started with the Internet of Things by Cuno Pfister http://my.safaribook...-/9781449301972 Featuring Netduino Plus, Pachube, .NET Micro Framework, and the Internet of Things. The first eight chapters are up now. Cool. Chris

Hah! I was just coming over to announce that it was here. Now I'm wondering how you found out about this before me. :-)

Haven't been over to Safari since I retired ! The rough cuts is a good idea, and it certainly is a quick access, low price way of getting it out to the public ! Took me under three minutes to pay for it, download the pdf, and get reading. Ain't technology nice, eh !

It's a highly anticipated book

Quick follow-up...

The main page for the book is now online in the O'Reilly Catalog (front cover, "about the author: Dr. Cuno Pfister", etc.)

Thanks, Chris!

And here's an update on the book; we've just submitted another couple of chapters to Safari Books Online, and the Rough Cut should be updated in 3-4 days.

Also, we're looking for technical reviewers to help us with the book by providing feedback and suggestions. We'll give technical reviewers early access to the book, and a copy of the book when it's published. If you're interested, PM me and I'll give you more details.

Hi, First time playing with the Netduino today, and so I got the Getting Started' Rough cut... Got the Blink example working easily enough, and configured the IP setup ok too. But got stuck at: downloading 'Gsiot.PachubeClient' from http://www.gsiot.info/download/.

At that site, I can't see where to download the Gsiot.PachubeClient zip file. I can see some example code there, but don't know what to do with it!

I'll keep reading and guessing, but thought if I can't work it out, maybe others can't either... has the download gone, or am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks

I believe that the code is written out on the website instead of being uploaded as a zip file.

Is this what you're looking for?

Chris, i am also trying to understand how this is implemented. while the code may be posted in the link. it does not follow the text of the instructions or show how to make the code into the required reference file and load it into the visual express environment.

thanks in advance for your help, richie

[richie4540]

i tried this process to turn the pasted code into a dll file but all i got was a bunch of errors when i tried to build the file- http://www.homeandle...harp_s16p1.html THIS is one of the errors ---------- Error 6 The type or namespace name 'HttpWebResponse' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[Chris Walker]

Hi richie4540, Be sure to add the System.Http assembly as a reference into your project. [Project menu > Add Reference] Does that fix the compiler error for you? Chris

Chris, thanks, i did work it out in the end, as it was past midnight, i was a bit slow to see the reference to system.http, but the process posted in the link above to create the dll worked well- i just had to remember to make sure the settings were set to usb cable and not to use the microsoft emulator.
