P.S. Even the MicroUSB jack is new. We obsessed over finding a jack which gave users a satisfying "click". And then obsessed over a lot of other seemingly-insignificant-but-important things. This board is over-engineered, as usual; we admit it.
Don't forget about the new mini button too
First off, congratulations to Chris and his team on the release of Netduino 3 Wi-Fi! I've been testing this board for the past few weeks and it really is awesome. I posted some initial thoughts on my blog here.
Being able to use GoBus on a board with network connectivity is huge. This is something I've wanted to have since the Netduino Go was first released I've included an example project in my blog post above where I pull weather data from wunderground.com's API and display it on a seven segment display module. It's remarkable how easy it is to implement something like this with NETMF and GoBus.
When I first received my N3W it was running very early firmware that didn't include the GoBus library. This gave me a chance to think about an alternate approach for GoBus implementation that would allow for more flexibility when using Go modules and their drivers. I ended up implementing this idea in an experimental library and had a lot of fun trying out some of the new possibilities it enabled. I wrote about this in a separate blog post here: GoBus: An Alternate Approach.
Anyway, congratulations again to Chris and his team on another awesome Netduino! I'm looking forward to see what everyone does with their new boards
