Hi,

Is there anyone who has already worked with Electret Micrphone Sensor? I need to detect the noise in my room, so I wired the sensor simply to my Netduino Plus (5v, GND, Analog Pin 0), and I am getting random values (70 to 130) which are independent to the existing noise.

-My code:

    public class Program    {        public static void Main()        {            SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput inp = new SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A0);                        while(true)            {                Debug.Print(inp.Read().ToString());                Thread.Sleep(100);            }            }    }

Hello,

I had a problem for 1 month to use a Watchdog mechanism in Netduino Plus. FYI, the "Watchdog" acts as a software reboot with a predefined timer.

The watchdog functions have been already developed in C# Micro Framework, but they never work. Based on the comment I got from Chris: "No watchdog implemented in the gen1 hardware.  We're currently designing a software update for gen2 hardware which would enable it."

Finally, I created my own watchdog function which works well to reboot the Netduino after a fixed time (e.g., 5h).

public class MainFrame{        const Int32 wdDelay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 5;   // 5h        static Timer wdtimer = new Timer(watchdog, null, wdDelay, 0);                public static void Main()        {            // Write your codes here        }        public static void watchdog(object state)        {            PowerState.RebootDevice(false);     //Watchdog.Enabled = true;        }}

I hope it helps you in your project

Hi All,   I developed a code to get the temperature readings from TMP36 sensor. My Netduino was working properly. After 5 hours, I started debugging again, but it throwed exceptions (on the line voltagePort = new SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1)):

A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.dllAn unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.dll

The code of mine is here:

using System;using Microsoft.SPOT;using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus;namespace TMPSensor{    public class Sensor:Constants    {        //Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.AnalogInput voltagePort;        SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput voltagePort;        OutputPort lowPort, highPort;        public Sensor()        {            //Temperature sensor           //voltagePort = new AnalogInput(AnalogChannels.ANALOG_PIN_A1);           voltagePort = new SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);           lowPort = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A0, false);           highPort = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A2, true);        }        public double read()        {            double rawValue = voltagePort.Read();            double value = (rawValue * maxVoltage) / maxAdcValue;            double result = (((value - 0.5) * 1000) / 10) - 4;            return result;        }    }}

The firmware of my Netduino Plus is 4.2.0.0 (RC5), and the SDK is MicroFrameworkSDK_NETMF42_QFE2. Any help or comment is highly appreciated.   Mohammad

Hi there,

My Netduino Plus has been programmed in a way that it sends heart beat requests (every minute) frequently to a data service. Unfortunately, after 1 (or sometimes 2) day(s) it stops running with no error or no reason. Is there any limitations on the Netduino Plus hardware structure?

I tested the data service with my PC as a client (instead of Netduino Plus) to send heart beat requests, so I was convinced there is no problem on the data service.

FYI. It has no power limitation. I mean its power is provided by a USB cable connected to my computer.

Any comments, advice and solutions are more than welcome.

Thanks for your time and attention,

Mohammad

Hi everyone,

I have a Netduino Plus and a TMP36 temperature sensor.

My code already worked perfect with firmware 4.1:

using System;using System.Net;using System.Net.Sockets;using System.Threading;using Microsoft.SPOT;using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus;namespace TemperatureSensorTest{    public class Program    {        public static void Main()        {            //Temperature sensor                       var voltagePort = new AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);            var lowPort = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A0, false);            var highPort = new OutputPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A2, true);                       double rawValue = voltagePort.Read();            double result = ((rawValue - 0.5) * 1000) / 10;            Debug.Print("Result: " + result);        }    }}

Now, it doesn't work with my new firmware. Would you please let me find a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Mohammad
