I've also considered to support the 8-bit mode with my driver, as well as a reset method to re-initialize the 4-bit mode. Maybe I will have some time for this this year

It was some time ago I did a big update to the toolbox, so here's one...

Today I've added a driver for the thermal printer available at adafruit and sparkfun.

Details can be found at http://netmftoolbox.....ThermalPrinter

 

Also, I modified the toolbox structure, so each driver has it's own DLL. After that, I've created an installer (with some awesome help from two people: Matt Isenhower and Steve Bulgin.
So from now on, you can just run a setup program, and all drivers can be added as reference to your project!

To add to this, if you want to keep up-to-date about all releases, you can subscribe to a project on Codeplex.

 

See http://netmftoolbox....ases/view/99595 for the downloads

Has anyone here created a .net class library or project for the centipede shield?

I haven't got the shield myself yet, but maybe I just ordered one...

From it's documents:

Each I/O port corresponds to one MCP23017 IC

"Someone" wrote drivers for that specific chip

You can wrap the HTTP Client around the WiFlySocket like this:

SimpleSocket Socket = new WiFlySocket("www.someSite.com", 80, WifiModule);
var HTTP_Client webClient = new HTTP_Client(Socket);

Okay so I wanted to do something with my tree this year. And I had 100 RGB LEDs on 4 strands. This is the result of my project: Hope you'll like it! Code can be downloaded here: http://stefan.co/ind...1 RGB Strip.zip More info can be found here: http://stefan.co/blo...christmas-tree/

Supra, could you try to use proper english? For non-natives it's more difficult to understand phrases/slang like "abt" (about) and "frm" (from). With "eng" you mean engineer?

I understand people can say things out of frustrations and I don't want to moderate that unless strong language is beeing used. I prefer to respond rather to moderate. Also, some critisism may be fair. Something else I don't want to moderate. But I would like to ask you all to keep this conversation civil, without pointing fingers towards each other. Problems are addressed, some are fixed and others are beeing taken care of as we speak. I understand the frustrations, I respect the well founded critisism, but I feel a tone has been set that doesn't add anything to this discussion at all. Thank you for understanding

Your code isn't in a method, it's in the class itself. Try this:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino;
using Toolbox.NETMF;
using Toolbox.NETMF.NET;
using Toolbox.NETMF.Hardware;

namespace Fan_PWM
{
	public class Program
	{
        public static void Main()
        {
            IPWMPort Led1 = new Netduino.PWM(Pins.GPIO_PIN_D5);
            Led1.StartPulse();

            while (true)
            {
                for (uint Brightness = 0; Brightness < 100; ++Brightness)
                {
                    Led1.SetDutyCycle(Brightness);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
                }
                for (uint Brightness = 100; Brightness > 0; --Brightness)
                {
                    Led1.SetDutyCycle(Brightness);
                    Thread.Sleep(100);
                }
            }
        }
	}
}

You always need a main method, which contains your main app.

I haven't seen such a thing beeing done before...

Sure, no problem. Just post in the closest forum for now. Netduinos are built to last; with new generations of hardware it's always great to help some of the existing hardware find new homes.

I want to add something to that;

With my codebase I've got the vision to support the full line of NETMF devices, including the "old" Netduino Plus 1. That support won't be gone. It may happen -some- features won't be available, but I will still continue to update my code and test it on .NETMF 4.1 with a Netduino Plus 1.

Also, I read somewhere that Secret Labs will continue to support the Netduino Plus 1 for now, even though the Netduino Plus 2 has been released.

So your "old" hardware will still have it's value for loads of applications!

damn, I was to press the (+) on that topic, but slid the mouse, and hit the (-), and cannot undo it

I fixed it with pleasure

Woot! My video on engadget!

And no worries...we oversized the USB/VIN power switchover circuitry to handle 12VDC as well. So as long as you understand that you'll get a lot of waste heat you're fine with 12V power.

I consider that a feature for outdoor applications. It includes a heating mechanism

Hi there!

I just updated the .NETMF Toolbox with some additional samples for both Visual C# and VB.NET. One of them is this awesome game which demonstrates custom character support for the HD44780 text LCDs:
