Hello World, I'm working on a driver and the basic gist/setup of the method is :

public enum

{

cat = 0,

dog = 1

}

Hello all,
   I've been playing with the analog input on my netduino, and I had been playing with it for quite a bit thinking that I had been using it wrong. Turns out... I was! When using a potentiometer to regulate the voltage into my analog input, I noticed that as I approached the upper end (higher voltages of my potentiometer) the value being printed from the .Read() of my analog input started to decline. I just learned today that that was due to using the 5 V pin on the board as my source and the highest value accurately registered through the .Read() was when the voltage was 3.3 V. I was curious if there was a way to allow for accurate measures of voltages higher than 3.3 volts via AnalogInputs (nothing necessarily too crazy... but how about the 5 volt pin?) I would appreciate any input on the subject.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Good luck and good thought,

PS. this is how I set up my code while using the 3.3 V pin as the source to my potentiometer providing me with an output that is between 0-1 (the voltage as a percent of 3.3 V). When I would use 5 V as the source and change AnalogReference_float to 5 as well; my output would be 0-1 (when at or below 3.3 V) and 1 - 0.6 (when voltage to the analog input pin was 3.3 V - 5 V) The biggest desire is to at least figure out  - if possible - how to change the percentage ie: I would love to make the output a voltage as a percent of X as opposed to being locked into 3.3V.

Hello all,

      I just recently got my netduino in the mail Thursday, and I seem to have several issues with it. While trying to install a basic led flashing sequence, (I had had it installed earlier but tried to write another program that ended up wrong and scratched for the time being) I am prevented by the error "An error has occurred. Please check your hardware"

Like I said the board is brand new, and I don't know what could be wrong.

Things I've tried:

-Using MFDeploy, I tried looking at the device capabilities for the purpose of updating the firmware in hopes that might fix everything and sometimes if I try multiple times I get something that makes sense but most of the time I get pages of lines that read: "Failed allocation for 5 blocks, 60 bytes"

-I've also tried hitting erase in MFDeploy while trying to follow the steps to update the firmware and all I get is a constant stream of "Failed allocation for 5 blocks, 60 bytes"

-I've installed the installer for the latest firmware and my device doesn't show up.

- I've installed other programs the STDFU Tester application as instructed by the forums if the previous issue comes up, and that also seems to do nothing/doesn't recognize the device.

My goal was to try and return this to factory settings as it was working for a period out of the box but the errors seem to be overwhelming and I'm trying to fix this quite quickly.
