I updated my Netduino Plus 2 to the latest 4.2.2 firmware and tried the following code to flash the LED:

 

 

public static void Main() 		{ 			  OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false); 		  			  while (true) 			  { 				    led.Write(true); 				    Thread.Sleep(250); 				    led.Write(false); 				    Thread.Sleep(250); 			  } 		}

 

When I start debugging the blue LED at the top right comes on for a few seconds, so I'm sure it's working, but will not flash as I expected. Stranger still, if I press the button on the board the LED does light up, and Windows makes a "USB device attached" sound. Seems like a simple enough test, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I recently got a Netduino Plus 2 and I'd like to develop for it with VS 2012 and NETMF 4.3.  I installed the NETMF 4.3 SDK and latest Netduino SDK, created a new project and referenced the SecretLabs dlls as required.  I can build the source, but when I try to deploy to the Netduino I get an error that says the device has version 4.2 of an assembly while I'm trying to use 4.3.  Is it possible to develop for the Netduino Plus 2 using these software versions, or do I need to downgrade to 4.2?  Any advice on getting up and running with VS 2012 would be appreciated.  I tried to install VS 2010 after installing VS 2012 and ran into some issues, I'd rather not have to use 2010.

 

Thanks!

I can easily see the gold erase pad on the original Netduino - it's a square contact adjacent to Digital I/O Pin 0. However, on the Netduino Plus that same area has a smaller pad that looks silver and almost appears to have a dab of solder (not from me) on it. I probably have one of the earlier runs on the N+ if that makes any difference. Thanks!

I was considering upgrading my main machine to Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Has anyone taken the plunge and tried working with the Netduino? I'm also curious if we can use the Visual Studio 11 beta with Netduino.
