Hello Everyone

 

Hello world from beginner. On both sides: C# and Netduino 2. 

 

By accident I got myself a Master-12 from Pololu (I think Stefan was using a micro 6 version and this is a 12-servo version. Initially, I was a bit surprised that Netduino 2 has only 6 PWM pins but I knew that there must be way out, so I did look for a external controller via simple serial connection (simpler to implement/understand). My goal was to get something simple with simple command set, but soon as I did manage to start to understand a bit more... there was a light at the end of the tunnel...

 

Command set is NOT simple as "SWITCH ON" or "OFF", you have to do it via byte command instead. Its more tricky as you cannot see an output in plain text, but is fast.

 

For now, after 0.5 day I got to the point that my ND2 is actually switching LED on port 08 (or any other) of Master-12 with my desired time... Not much, but it's working ;-))

 

PS. Can I ask why Netduino 2 pin out not as many as Arduino Due?? Come on, this is not very difficult and many people would love 50-60 pin out...

 

Regards
