Not Telling
Hi all!
I´m an absolutely newbie to .NETMF programming and love to spent some time as a hobbyist on this platform. To be honest my personal programming experience lasts back to my university time when I was programming in Turbo Pascal and a little assembler... (which is more than 25 years ago)
I have some understanding of the C, C++ and even C#, read some books, did some small practice (and forgot many things, as I didn´t find the time to consecutively follow my trail aside of my job).
I bought a Netduino 2+ and for some trials a Nootropic design 4 digit shield, a Adafruit Motorshield and a luminosity sensor. Thanks to you guys I already found some porting for the motor control, but I´m struggling with the digit shield. It uses 4 pins and uses a timer interrupt controlled multiplexing. What I´ve understood so far from the Arduino library provided by Nootropic, is that the concept is based on using a shift register for the data (taking 1 pin), a clock pin, a latch pin and a control pin for decimal point on/off. Many of the inherited methods appear quite simple, but especially this timer issue is giving me headache. I have tried to figure out, whether and how this ISR concept could be ported ....but to be honest: I HAVE GOT NO CLUE
Has anyone played around with this shield yet?
Thx in advance from a desperate bloodie newbie.......
