I want to make a system that monitors battery levels of as much batteries as possible. This doesn't have to happen constant.. it's okay to have some sort of loop.. check bat 1, check bat 2, check bat 3, and so on. So I want to have some sort of digital switch that can be controlled with digital outs, for switching between analog levels of the batteries. Any thoughts on which component I could use for that? Thanks

I'm experimenting with the code I posted earlier:

using System; 
using System.Threading; 
using Microsoft.SPOT; 
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware; 
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware; 
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino; 
using Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation; 
using Microsoft.SPOT.Net; 
using System.Net.Sockets; 
using System.Net; 
using System.Text; 
 
namespace NetduinoApplication2 
{ 
    public class Program 
    { 
 
        public static void Main() 
        { 
 
            using (System.Net.Sockets.Socket socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)) 
            { 
 
                IPHostEntry entry = Dns.GetHostEntry("192.168.5.111"); 
                IPAddress address = entry.AddressList[0]; 
                IPEndPoint endpoint = new IPEndPoint(address, 80); 
 
                socket.Connect(endpoint); 
                socket.Send(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hallo Netduino plus")); 
            } 
 
        } 
 
    } 
}

This works.. I'v got IIS running on my notebook, and i'm seeing this in my logfiles:

2010-09-25 07:39:58 192.168.5.150 4098 192.168.5.111 80 - Hallo Netduino 400 - BadRequest -

Which is expected.


However, if I change the ip address in the code above to a non existant address (like 192.168.5.10)..just to test what happens.. this totally crashes the netduino plus and VS 2010. Only way to recover is to reset the netduino with the reset button.

Am I just the wrong code? or is this a bug?

I've just found out that by default the netduino plus is responding to icmp(ping) requests.. Is this the only default behaviour of the network stack? or are there more services that run? And.. can I disable this behaviour?

Hi,

I've got my Netduino Plus in today.
And i'm wondering how to use the new functionality... I guess I must include some new assemblies? if so where can I find them?

Can I use this? Beta assmblies for SD card

And this one? Beta assmblies for ethernet

Thanks

Any thoughts experiances on connecting 2 or more netduino's over a 5 meter distance? I have no idea, and was thinking of an ethernet shield, is that a good idea? Is there something better/cheaper? Thanks
