I thought about this a few days ago and thought I would share it. I was wondering if you could write a program on the Netduino telling it what each letter was in Mores code (Or LED blink timing), and then via Ethernet you could plug in a letter/word/sentence and the Netduino's LED would flash accordingly. Sincerely, Cwbh

Oh, definitely. Cool idea. Maybe pull down Twitter feeds and then encode them in morse code? A few community members built morse code decoders and encoders. One of them is up on the projects page (combined with Hari's decoder)... http://www.netduino.com/projects/ Chris

I like your twitter idea a lot, though how would I pull them up (I know how to on the computer). Would the computer pull it up and send it to the Netduino? I suppose this is going to be 2nd on my To-Do list... As I think some more programming experience should be helpful on this project. Thanks Chris! -Cwbh P.S. Are there any P.o.E. Arduino shields compatible with Netduino?

If there are PoE shileds available (which just provide power), they should work with the Netduino. If you find one, please post it here and we can double-check. As far as Twitter goes, you'd need to query the Twitter stream from your Netduino (either on a timed interval or when you got some sort of notification from Twitter). Chris

Freetronics makes a line of products just for PoE. Should be exactly what you are looking for. http://www.freetroni...shield-with-poe Obviously this would be a solution for the Netduino, not the N+, as I'm not sure how the firmware would react to having two ethernet ports present...

If you're looking fore true 802.11af PoE support for the N+, this item is the ticket: http://www.streakwav...-9S-AFI&eq=&Tp= You can use it to connect and power a N+ from any standards compliant PoE switch. It basically takes the 48-volt PoE power and provides regulated 9-volt output.

Thanks Charles! I will defiantly look into this, but for right now programming is going to be the most difficult part for me. Have a good night -Cwbh
