So I've been doing software developpement for over a decade now, and I'm looking for something new.

 

I figured it would be cool to actually make something that interacts with 'real life'.

 

I started reading on netduino ( I'm mostly a .net developper ). I wouldn't be so thrilled about just making a led flash...but yeah I guess i'll probably do it anyway.

 

So here is my idea for my project, I want to play a sound and send me an email when someone open my house door. What do I need to read and what do I need to buy to achieve my goal ?

 

Now my problem is, I'm not sure netduino is the right tool to use? Someone told me to look into raspberry pi because my project need an internet connection ?

 

Thanks,

Hey Dave. First let me introduce you to this Netduino community with a warm welcome.

 

Well you seem very enthusiast thats very good !

 

But let's get back to the basics. Do you have any electronic knowledge ?

Have you ever worked with a breadboard ?

You're right bro. I realised I should start with a smaller project.

 

I've orderded the kit on cool component. Can't wait to start !

 

Thanks all for the info !

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum,

I totally agree with Dave 

 

Seems like a good kit to start with. As you know the Netduino Plus 2 has networking capabilities and can send emails and such. As for sound, you can use PWM to play a chime on that piezo buzzer.

 

Since you're an experienced developer, I'm sure you'll manage to put the door bell/mailer together.

 

Good luck!
