well, the tlc5940 is a bit a pain with netmf. it needs timing, wich would be nice in native with a timer (thats what i do on arduino)

- its just a mix of a shift register and a counter

theres different tlc59xx versions wich dont need a gs clock and a blank signal. they work great for led stuff, but not for led matrixes (flickering cos you cant control the blank line - timing issues)

btw: in the second links theres a link to nevyn's blog, with some code. that should work "ok" (i still see a timing issue with an external counter like that - you normally sent the new data directly after you blanked the chip)

well, you dont call it like that.

accelerometers, gyros and stuff like that should update their register pointer automatically.

int data = ReadShort((byte)Register.GYRO_XOUT_H); - its either _H or _L, the second _should_ get

selected automatically.

normally you read all 6 registers at once, specify the first address, than read 6 bytes.

if that doesent work, read 2x 1 byte each and convert them to int16 (bitshifting)

netduino 2 doesent have an erase pad

you have to delete it when its in dfu mode via dfuse.

coocox is what you want i guess. ill use it for my stm32f4's. it also supports different brands (maybe even the sam3x - due)

idk that bootloader stuff, i use the stlink v2 on my discovery board as programmer/debugger

well if you wanna use the netduino formware you have to look on wich pins is the usb port connected (important for flashing programs)

and you have to use a 25mhz crystal (iirc)

yes i meant the link you posted - this port needs a 8mhz crystal

you can change the crystal needed, but you have to recompile the netmf-firmware

on a sidenote: on mine i wanted the sdio interface and a micro sd card, so basic stamp wouldnt fit, in a breadboard it still leave 2 pins free each side
