Hello users,

I've been working through the Get Started with Netduino e-book using the Netduino Plus. All projects have worked fine until the "Mixing Colors" project in chapter 6. I've tried with the maker shield and with the breadboard and in both cases my RGB LED acts like its common is an anode rather than a cathode - i can't get the LED to light up unless i put a GIO_Pin_D9 (or 5 or 6) on the common with the ground on a leg (after a resistor). Do I need to initialize something? the code is simple:

        public static void Main()
        {
            // write your code here
            PWM redLed = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D9);
            PWM greenLed = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D6);
            PWM blueLed = new PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D5);

            
            redLed.SetDutyCycle(100);
            greenLed.SetDutyCycle(30);
            blueLed.SetDutyCycle(60);

            Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
        }

Help. I can't see the NetDuino templates in VS2010 Professional. After two installs and uninstalls i tried the following. First I installed .NET Micro Framework SDK 4.1 (QFE1). I tested install by running VS2010 and verifying four installed templates in the Micro Framework sub-category: Class Ligrary, Console Application, Device Emulator and Window Application. I had no problem creating a new Console Application project. Next I installed Netduino SDK v4.1.0 (November 2010 Refresh). I used the default location which was C:\Program Files\Secret Labs\Netduino SDK\. I still see only four templates in VS2010 when i create a new project. There is no Netduino templates. I am running VS2010 as administrator.
