Hi,

 

I'm sorry but I don't have the time right now to help you with this.

 

You can find a very nice tutorial on the learning site of Adafruit,

however, which I used myself to do the wiring:

Ok, not or the faint-hearted then. Thanks for your reply though...

I recieved a mini via amazon.com. A couple of pins were slightly bent, I bent them back into place and started working on the mini. I have an anti-static mat, solderless prototyping boards, regulated power supply, the works. I couldn't attach to the mini through pins 11 & 12. I have several USB-TTL converters and I tried all of them. I shorted my Tx and Rx and typed characters do loop back. I tried using a TTL-CMOS converter and that didn't work either. In desperation I erased the mini, and tried 2.09 and 2.10 Sam-ba and couldn't attach to the mini. I filed a return with amazon for the mini no working and printed the return label. When I removed the mini from the proto board the formerly bent pins snapped off (1&24). So here is the question, what do I do now? If I send the mini back to amazon I expect them tonpith a fit because a couple of pins are broken. I've already ordered a replacement mini from amazon. I'm willing to keep the mini with broken pins if there is a way to get it workin properly, re-soldering a couple of pins isn't a big deal for me.

What was the answer to this one? Is it possible to repair a broken pin of the Netduino Mini?

Hi, Good to see you're making some progress. At this moment I'm unable to work on this, I hope to be able again this weekend... Regards, Andy

Haven't had the chance this weekend to do some hardware tinkering as I've been following the jumpstart of windows phone 8 to get better insights on general capabilities but bluetooth and nfc in particular. I did find out that WP8 only supports either NDEF or windows messages via NFC so I think we should keep that in mind. @gomore11: one thing that came to mind was that the code I posted on this forum does a specific call to SamConfig, which sets the Adafruit board up for RFID tag reading. Don't know for sure, but it might be that this setup is interfering with what you are expecting to receive from the board in regards to NFC?
