I have been modifying circuitry and code to be more reliable. Code was updated/tested with the latest .NET Micro Framework (4.2 QFE1) . In the meantime, I have created a repository with the base class library at https://github.com/f...r/HomeAlarmPlus . Thanks and enjoy!

I just tried Hello Pachube example to get started with ethernet activity.

var voltagePort = new AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);

The above line is not computing. AnalogInput is wavy underlined and Error reads:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'AnalogInput' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I had a similar problem before. The following code solved my problem:

var voltagePort = new SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput(SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus.Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);

I agree with Cuno, Pachube's code is working fine with the Cosm.

Chris,

Thank you so much for this library. It was a time saver. I added two more methods to the library (ElapsedSeconds and ElapsedMinutes).

public double ElapsedSeconds
        {
            get
            {
                if (m_startTicks != 0 && m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.Utility.GetMachineTime().Ticks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Seconds;
                }
                else if (m_startTicks != 0 && !m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((m_stopTicks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Seconds;
                }
                else
                    throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }

        public double ElapsedMinutes
        {
            get
            {
                if (m_startTicks != 0 && m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.Utility.GetMachineTime().Ticks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Minutes;
                }
                else if (m_startTicks != 0 && !m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((m_stopTicks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Minutes;
                }
                else
                    throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }

For best performance, I'd use the Netduino Plus with a WiFi Ethernet Bridge device. I know that a number of people have used Quiche's drivers...but I have not had a chance to use WiFly enough to have a good feel for performance.

I would like to add that I am currently using my Netduino Plus with a Netgear Universal Dual Band Wireless (WNCE3001). It requires a one time setup of SSID and password on the Wireless adapter, just follow the instructions.

Nice Job! Thank you!
