1x Netduino
1x Wifi component from Weburban - http://store.weburba...urban/wifi.html

Hi Omnomnomsies,

My brief review of the datasheet for the Weburban WiFi component indicates that it is designed for PIC microcontrollers, and that it requires a TCP/IP stack loaded onto the PIC. I am skeptical that this WiFi component can interface directly with Netduino, since Netduino is based on an ARM MCU core. Sure, physically it might be able to connect, but in terms of the software, I am unaware of any C# TCP/IP stack written to specifically connect Netduino with this WiFi module. I see that there are Arduino libraries for this module, so maybe it is a simple matter of porting the Arduino libraries to Netduino; however, that might not be so simple.

For Wi-Fi on Netduino, I use a Gainspan GS1011MIP module. The link there is to a forum post I made a while ago. There is sample code there to get you started. The Gainspan is the same price as the Weburban module if you get it from Sparkfun.com.



Edit: just to clarify- the Gainspan module operates at 3.3v on a UART connection, not SPI like the Weburban one, in case that matters to you.

Edit 2: I just noticed you're looking for 802.11n. The Gainspan operates on 802.11b, so this might not be a good solution for you...

Why do you need 802.11n for your project? I have found most 802.11n Wi-Fi devices are backwards compatible with 802.11b/g. I am able to run a Wi-Fi web server directly from the Gainspan and my laptop has no problem connecting. I use a Netduino Plus for the built-in SD card, to store the web pages that I serve from the module. Works great.

It's got going to work, it's missing the cold fusion reactor and the warp field coils!
Hmn I see it's missing the flux regulator and the sid chip!

I was having trouble finding scarab beetles, and my electric eel won't stay still, but this information throws another wrench into the works. Or maybe I just need to throw a real wrench and another solder blob in there somewhere as replacement for the other items? Hmmm... any other suggestions?

Euh... LOL!

LOL

Do you have black electrical tape?

If you do remove it, you'll want to use a soldering iron and tweezers (very carefully). Heat up the solder on both sides of the LED (switching every half second or so between the two) and then carefully remove the power LED using tweezers. Please note that this completely voids your warranty, for obvious reasons

I'd still recommend a small piece of electrical tape though...it's simple, non-destructive, and should blend right in.

I have electrical tape coming out my ears. Lol. But, e-tape gets sticky and is noticeable, and it can fall off. And I wanted something permanent.

I found that you can do exactly what you said to remove the LED, except to make it easier you only have to heat up one side and carefully wiggle the tweezers until the LED pops off of one solder point. Then just wiggle it off of the other solder point.

My Netduino has now entered the Dark Side. Oh, and it still works fine too. Thanks.
