Hi,
 
 
Ive got Netduino 2 and I bought Open Source Wireless Inventors Shield for Arduino, they say it can work with Netduino but haven't tested it.

 

 

 

Ive never used Serial on netduino, are there any tutorials on how to start?? Also can someone look at the Manual and help me out?

 

Thanks.

Its actually preety easy

 

1st Netduino is sending a text command "1" every second and waiting for a text command "2". If it gets "2" from another wireless netduino it will blink its LED briefly.

 

2nd Netduino is sending text command "2" every five seconds and waiting for a text command "1". If it gets "1" from another wireless netduino it will blink its LED briefly.

 

Look at the indicators on top of the wireless shields:

- and actually, it wasent easy, it was a pain

(it was easy for me )

 

none the less, its a cool project, i like wireless stuff
