Thanks Chris - I appreciate the reply. I'll look into the adding a dedicated DAC route.

I'm in the same boat - I need a screen for my project. From my digging around on the net the only C# driver code I have seen was from here:
LCD Code
Touch Screen

It looks like it has netduino conditionals - they might just be the pin reference class.

I looked at another touch screen on adafruit
Here
and
Here

It comes with a c++ library. The wiring and everything makes sense and I assume its straight forward-ish enough to port from C++ to C#.

I assume its pretty hardcore to write your own driver though. I looked at the datasheet for the adafruit screen. It would take months to implement it and understand it

Keep me updated with what you find out and what your decision will be.

Seb.

To me, I think what is not working for us right now is that all the necessary information for learning is all over the web (blogs, cross referencing arduino forums, tinyclr.com etc...). Ideally we would have a consolidated source of information made up of two elements: 1) A Wiki would be created and blended into the site. Here the community could create educational information in a step by step manner. (Something I was looking for when I first got into this scene) For example: - How to blink the on board led - How wire up a button as an input ... It would be pretty nice if the information in this .pdf linked from tinyclr.com was in this wiki. http://www.microfram...ner_Guide_ebook 2) Secondly and separately - it would be beneficial to have an "official" version control system as you mentioned such as SVN/GIT for pieces of code outside the scope of the .net micro framework classes. I don't like the multiple repositories sitting out on codeplex, it feels that you have to look in too many places. Here it would be good to store useful code elements such as drivers, WebServer code, SMTP etc... I assume its pretty straight forward to get SVN running with optional web browsable source code.

So in theory using a voltage divider circuit I could achieve 5v using an 800 ohm and 1k ohm resistor. What would the amps be on this? And would the amps damage the netduino?

Yes this works. It looks nicer too. Thanks.
