Hello Netduino community,

 

I was wondering if someone could give me a general direction in which I should start working.

 

I have a netduino plus 2. I would like to be able to log on to it through the ip and activate different "presets" for lighting. For example, if I press "preset 1", it would automatically fade my pwm dimmers into said configuration.  I've been looking around a few different web server projects, (neon.mika for one). However, I'm not sure of the best way of getting that done. Should I have an HTML page with buttons? Would those buttons be able to control my pwm dimmers? And how would I categorize the different presets in my code?

 

I am a newbie when it comes to this, so any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan Borichef

First... welcome to the forums.

 

NeonMika is definitely a good way to go.  It has lots of good example and there are a few on here if you use the search feature.

 

You can also look at the DIY Brewery Temperature Logger. It uses the NeonMika web server and does serve up web pages from the SD card that are used to changes settings and the like.

 

NeonMika can be used to control PWM right out of the box without a webpage by adding parameters to the URL. So this is a great place to start then decide how you want to build your interface from there.

Thank you, however, I believe I ran into a bit of a problem with my board. I have nothing connected to the pins, and when I plug it in via USB, two led's turn on and the board makes a high pitched sound that goes down in pitch... Is it dead?

Not sure about the sound part. Never heard of that. With the two lights on the board may need to be erased and reflashed. You should try that following the instructions in the version 4.2.2.2 firmware thread.
