I'm afraid to report that I could not agree with both wendo and ukkiwisurfer more. I have pretty much switched over to a Raspberry Pi 2 for the majority of my development endeavors.
I own almost every single device in the netduino family. I have been a netduino go user since they first came out. I had high hopes for the Go's plug-and-play, rapid development ability. However, we have been waiting years (not months, but years..... plural) for SecretLabs to get their act together and start releasing software and modules for it on time and of reasonable quality. Unfortunately, to date, this has not happened.
As I mentioned, I own pretty much every single device in the Netduino family. From the mini, up through the regular netduino, the plus, plus 2, and go. All of them except the Netduino 3. The 3 was the last straw. When SecretLabs came out with that before they even got the promised modules out for the Go, they slapped every single Go owner in the face. We have been told for years that SecretLabs was working hard on the new modules and then we find out that they were instead, working on yet another incomplete product to try and sell us.
The Pi 2 does have some drawbacks, such as boot-time and increased power requirements. However, with Its ability to run Windows 10, and a much more complete version of the .Net framework, along with it's much, much lower price-point and increased storage and ram, it has pretty much relegated every single Netduino product into the background.
SecretLabs was the best .Net player in the market in my opinion. But, due to their continual inability to release software on-time, they are no longer.
I'm sorry Chris, but I will no longer be buying any more Netduino products.
