Sounds like an interesting project! But I have to say: the name you've chosen for Netduino really rankles, and I wish you'd change it.
Hi sbma44,
Arduino is a pretty cool platform, and the community surrounding it is nothing short of awesome. The Arduino team (some of whom I have had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with) are really nice folks and they have done a lot to help launch the open source hardware movement. I look forward to seeing what we can do together to continue building the open source hardware community.
The Netduino is 100% open source and provides Arduino shield pin compatibility. Like the XDuino and other non-AVR "duino" platforms before us, we also want to provide code compatibility with the Processing libraries used on Arduino. We'll be working with members of the Arduino community to help provide support for Processing commands on Netduino. We are also working on some solutions for users of Arduino hardware. More on that as it develops.
We're really proud of the open source community, and we hope that this new entry brings more members into it. Some people will use Netduino as a stepping stone to Arduino (or raw AVR programming). This will be a journey for us all, and we look forward to helping out where we can.
Thanks again for your participation in the forums!
Chris
