Hi Guys (and Girls wherever you are lol),

I just saw this cool project: an adroid phone talking to a netduino through bluetooth.

It made me wonder : is this feasable on the windows phone 7 and the netduino ?

I have both so I could try ... but I read that windows phone 7 has no bluetooth API support ... can someone confirm this ? Any other means of communication (other than IP) with Windows phone 7 ?

Mike wondering !

Hi everyone,

In about a month, I should put online my new site MichelTrahan.com and put many structured tutorials for the netduino on it.

When I say structured I mean that each and everyone of the tutorials will be backed by a Fritzing diagram, Full C# solution and complete documentation in both french and english (being in Quebec, this is mandatory).

Here is the global structure. Please comment if you see something missing or not appropriate. This is High Level.

Have not decided on which structure to put here ... I love the netduino forum format (ip.board)

And top level buttons like :

And top level language selection on each page (Français/English), probably flags (France/US)

That is it !

Any suggestions or comments ?

Hi everyone, Here is the zip file containing all the HTML files generated by the sandcastle tool for the SecretLabs namespace. I will build on that, hope it helps. Mike. p.s.: darn I have to split the files ... bigger than 2 megs ... put them back into one directory before using them ! The start pages of the namespace documentation starts with the letter N p.p.s.: can anyone tell me why the chm file was not created ? I am on windows 7 64bits ...

Hi There, I found many I2CBus implementation to use ... which one should I use ? Any reason why ? Is it planned to include such a class into the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware name space ? Should it be ? Here are some links to the implementation I found : http://forums.netdui...ndpost__p__4156 http://forums.netdui...ndpost__p__6090 Mike perplexed by all this

Hi Everyone, I want to post here all the sensors that I will select for my quadcopter project. I want suggestions for the following : - 3D Gyros : ITG-3200 - Accelerometer (tripple axis) : ADXL345 or BMA180 - Compass (tripple axis) : HMC5843 - GPS : LS20031 or Skytraq or ??? - Altimeter - Battery Monitor - Barometric Pressure : BMP085 - Temperature (oups, it looks like the Gyro has it included ...) : LM335A - Range finders (for autonomous flight, anti collision) Anything missing ? Mike.
