I have the NETMF Toolbox sample program for the Adafruit RGB LCD Shield working on everything accept for the Netduino Go Shieldbase.

 

It compiles but throws an exception:

The debugging target runtime is loading the application assemblies and starting execution.

Ready.

A first chance exception of type 'System.NotImplementedException' occurred in NetduinoGo.ShieldBase.dll

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NotImplementedException' occurred in NetduinoGo.ShieldBase.dll

 

Has anyone gotten the sample to run on the shieldbase?

 

I am using the sample from the toolbox and have added the shieldbase to the references.

Hi carb, Is the shield SPI or I2C-based? I2C is the one peripheral feature we're still working on for Shield Base. [It requires an update to NETMF to enable multiple I2C buses]. Chris

Chris,

 

The Adafruit RGB LCD Shield is I2C. http://www.adafruit.com/products/714

 

I have a LCD Backpack that can run in I2C or SPI that I will try to get working next weekend.

 

Or better yet maybe Komodex Labs will release his LCD module.

 

Thanks,

Chuck
