Hi

 

I'm new here and don't yet even have a Netduino.  Although I am thinking of getting one.

 

As it stands I am low on funds so my choices must be good.  I'd love to just be able to get a load and play with them.

 

I currently have a ez-robot controller and an Arduino.  I'm loving the fact that Netduino boards can be written with c# but I have a number of questions.

 

I'm going to be using it as a stand alone solution.

 

  • In the project created for it by me, if I added a small exe into the project, could it be executed from within the Netduino
  • Does it support the System.speech part of .net
  • Can it communicate with other devices attatched via the USB using Serial.Port or similar
  • Can camera eg webcams and microphones be used with it
  • If I used a powered USB Hub, can further devices be attatched and used including a Kinect or primesense camera
  • Can they connect to other devices eg ipod, iphone etc and send/receive dat to and from them

 

To begin with I would like some answers to some of these areas.  If I can do most of this at least, it would be the precise solution I have been looking for.

 

I have looked at a lot of information about this but I always prefer to ask directly.

It sounds like a Raspberry Pi would be more suitable.

I agree, a Netduino is not a good choise for those things and I don't even think the PI could cope. Any of those would probably be a really big detour from achieving what you want. As all of the bullets are pretty high level stuff, I'd recommend using a PC. Later, you could move to a micro or nano ATX if size is important. Of course, a Netduino could perhaps handle some of it but what's the point if you got s PC on the side. To be quite honest, I think the stuff you've mentioned taken together could take years to develop no matter what hardware you got.
