I an relly new on arduino and netduino, I have an Arduino uno and have done some fun things Can someone tell me weather all the I/O pins in the netduino plus can be used as digital inputs or outputs or are any of them reserved for the ethernet or the sd card, can I use all I/O as serial Rx/Tx pins ? Hope I have explained my self, Regards

All of the pins can be used as digital I/O pins as well as tristate ports. The network and SD card are logical entities in their own right and do not consume resources allocated to any of the I/O pins.

Both the Netduino Plus and the Plus 2 have pins which can act as serial ports. You can choose how you use them - so if you need two serial ports then use the specified pins as serial ports. If you do not need a serial port then feel free to use them as digital I/O ports. I'd suggest you have a look at the Wiki as Steve's put some really good pinout cards there.

Welcome and hope you enjoy working with the Netduino family.

That, and you can use all of them to drive interrupts, too -- unlike the Arduino limitation of just 2 pins. You also gain threading, but lose the "pulse in" function. There are many other differences you'll notice, but feel free to come back to the forum to ask whatever you want. The help here is very professional, and everyone is willing to answer questions, no matter how simple they may seem.
