If you look at the sample NetduinoPWMLED4.2 it tells you how to hook up a simple LED to D10 and GND and uses PWM to cycle the LED brightness. I loaded the project and then changed it to .NET MF 4.3 and it ran fine on my N+2 with 4.3 loaded.

Tim,

Ok so i ran your example and it worked perfectly i appreciate the time to help. the issue i was running into is in all the beginner tutorials and examples when you declare a PWM variable and assign it to a pin it seems anything 4.2 and prior you can declare just the pin, however with 4.3 you have to declare it as a PWM channel instead that is the source of my confusion because you cant just declare the pin, it needs other information in the constructor as well and as new as i am im not sure what those values should be. The solution that i found to use PWM and not PWM channel was to remove the microsoft PWM .dll and use the secret labs one. however last night when i wanted to use a potentiometer to control servo movement the microsoft and secret labs .dll's conflict for analog input so at this point im pretty stuck. luckily i ordered the 'getting started with neduino' book off amazon today so ill get that and try and make some progress i need some background reading because im not sure whats what yet. thank you for all your help!

Thank you very much Tim for your reply. That is quite a bit of code to go through. just to verify are you using the N+2 with the 4.3 firmware? According to what i found in my research the coding is a little different with PWM for that board and firmware update. When ive figured out your coding you supplied ill update you if i've figured it out. Thank you again.
