Hi, quick question; what do I need to power Netduino+ with battery, which points to insert +ve & -ve, anything I need to be wary of? Cheers

Hi,
I've wired up and written a code to read from a EM406a GPS unit and I'm getting messages from it but I don't think I'm getting a fix on any satellites.
The led on the EM406a is staying steady red.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I might try please?

Thanks

    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            
            AnalogInput rx = new AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A0);
            SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort("COM1", 4800, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
            serialPort.Open();
            

            while (true)
            {
                int bytesToRead = serialPort.BytesToRead;
                if (bytesToRead > 0)
                {
                    // get the waiting data
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[bytesToRead];
                    serialPort.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                    // print out our received data
                    var msg = new String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(buffer));
                    Debug.Print(msg);
                }

                Thread.Sleep(100); // wait a bit so we get a few bytes at a time...
            }

Hi,
some of you may find this interesting - again delete if this is not acceptable!! It's a very small, cheap computer!!

Hi,
not sure how to explain this question, but I have an EM406 GPS with a short cable for interfacing. However, the socket on it is tiny and would require really thin wires to insert into them.
Does anyone know whether there is a socket adapter which will fit this and provide a more pratical interface so that standard wires would be plugged in?

Thanks

Hi,
just noticed a new Arduino has been released with inbuilt ethernet PoE and able to "use/work with" usb devices, Android programmable etc.
Are any of these features not available on Netduino?
Cheers
