@Chris, thanks for the update! As if the Netduino wasn't cool enough on its your support and replays to post and feature requests make it all that much better! Thanks Shane

Its been a bit of time and no such luck... http://forums.netdui...good-ol-arduino Maybe some day we will have the technology to do serial via USB... Like the ol Arduino did/does and well most any other device you can program via USB, I know I'm asking to put a man on the moon here but its been done.

working on some USB communication options

Sweeet! I look forward to see how it works, Thanks!

-The Short and The Long- The Short: Don’t use Aggsoft’s “Advanced USB Port Monitor” with a USB device that uses the Micro .Net framework and MFDeploy.exe… They get in fights! The Long: So it’s all working fine and dandy now. I was able to fix my Netduino via a 2nd PC. The only thing I needed to use the 2nd PC for was MFDeploy to load the Netduino firmware (NetduinoFirmware_v4.1.0.3). I was able to use the SAM-BA app to do the low level stuff on the fist PC and therefore had not thought that the 1st PC was having any true problems. So after I got the Netduino working again on the 2nd PC I thought I would or could possibly via MFDeploy ping my Netduino. Nope still hangs, this is when I started to question if the Aggsoft’s USB app could have jacked with something that only MFDeploy need to use and nothing else… OK uninstall Aggsoft’s USB app, Reboot and wooohooo success MFDeploy Ping works like a champ. So whatever the Aggsoft’s USB app did MFDeploy and VS2010 USB deployment does not like it. This all came about because I bricked/looped my Netduino loading some code from Button-Blink example and needed to reset/erase it via MFDeploy, If all goes well I can get back to hunting that bug, woohoo! A BIG thanks to the Netduino team for their wonderful show of support! Shane P.S. As for my Netduino robot taking over the world this weekend, my wife said I got yard work to do first and my robot said no he won’t help… stupid robot stupid wife, what I need is a “Cherry 2000” that runs .Net, you guys working on those yet?

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the help! It's nice to see you guys are responsive and helpful, gives me even more hope for the development and success of the product, woohoo!

OK so I think I did the adding two zeros thing right in SAM-BA.(see screen shot)


- I then disconnected and reconnected the netduino.
- Opened MFDeploy.exe
- Selected netduino under USB.
- Ping.... (No dice)
- MFDeploy seems to hang but in Task manager it dose not state "not responding" if I let it set for about 20 min it will come back that it can not ping..

Note: I m now loading all the tools on another PC, who know maybe my MFDeploy or USB drivers are jacked...

-Will report my findings-
