#5560 Netduino Book - Getting Started with the Internet of Things
Posted by Eric Burdo on 01 December 2010 - 01:14 AM in General Discussion
+1
I've thought about writing a book on the Netduino myself... but I'd probably do better with a "electronics whiz" partner. Someone who knows the EE theory well.
I'm a software guy, dabbling in hardware.

#5495 Netdunio TRNG
Posted by Eric Burdo on 29 November 2010 - 05:19 PM in General Discussion
You probably already understand this by now, but I figured it be nice to have a short explanation of the methodology for the non EE people here.
That would be me!
Thanks for the explanation.
#5465 MakerShield for the Netduino
Posted by Eric Burdo on 28 November 2010 - 07:16 PM in General Discussion
(click the image to go to MakerShed)
Introducing the MakerShield kit - The ultimate open source prototyping shield for Arduino & Netduino micro-controllers
I might pick on up after Christmas. They take a mini-breadboard, so you can then do solderless breadboard work, right on the shield.

#5398 Simple Logic Probe
Posted by Eric Burdo on 27 November 2010 - 01:18 PM in General Discussion
It's nothing to do with the Netduino directly... but it's quite handy for your electronics tools collection.

There is a link in the article of Prof Mason's, going to another view and explanation of the Logic Probe.

TristatePort?
I've never seen that... I'll have to look into it.

Here's what you're looking for:
http://www.sparkfun....products_id=501
They had those at the local Radio Shack last week. So likely you can find them in your rShack...
They do come in handy. I have a set of those for my multimeter too... handy there also.
#3399 A moment of silence for the fallen electronics...
Posted by Eric Burdo on 03 October 2010 - 12:57 AM in General Discussion
I havent found any! Can you help me?
I'm not real good at finding stuff like this... but...
How many pins is on that ribbon?
You might be able to find a generic one that will work... or, you can sometimes snip the ribbon very carefully, and solder your own ends to it.
#3398 Seven Segment Display with the MC14489 Chip
Posted by Eric Burdo on 03 October 2010 - 12:56 AM in Project Showcase
Thanks Chris, going to be working on a 20X4 LCD display and an ultrasonic range finder from an old Polaroid kit. SensComp sells them now. SensComp
Greg
Those US range finders from old polaroid cameras are popular hacks... I'm going to have to try it some day too... (I'll put it on my "Netduino ToDo list", which seems to be growing every day.)
#3397 Pointless fun: Morse Code Interpreter
Posted by Eric Burdo on 03 October 2010 - 12:53 AM in Project Showcase
Now I'm thinking of making an app which takes text messages and/or e-mails and translates them into morse code That would be awesome and hillarious.
If you ever want a good book to read... The Cuckoo's Egg - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book)
Great book about computer hacking in the mid 80's.
Anyhow... Cliff Stoll (guy in the book) wrote some code to have the computers call his pager when certain events happened... and the page gave out morse code to alert Cliff of the specifics. Kinda neat for something from the 80's (pre-text messaging, email devices, etc).
#3372 where to buy the NDplus ?
Posted by Eric Burdo on 01 October 2010 - 05:28 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Lots of Netduino Pluses will end up in stockings or will otherwise be given as gifts this December...I can't imagine what kinds of cool things people will be building over the holidays!
Chris
Oooh... stocking stuffers... I know a few folks who would like one... and maybe another 2 for me...
#3366 where to buy the NDplus ?
Posted by Eric Burdo on 01 October 2010 - 04:15 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
ok ,thanks
To my knowledge... they are all sold out. They went pretty quick.
You could either wait (not sure of the release date) or... buy a Netduino, and get a plus later on?
#3313 A moment of silence for the fallen electronics...
Posted by Eric Burdo on 30 September 2010 - 11:34 PM in General Discussion
That's an FFC cable (flat, flexible cable). You may be able to buy an appropriate FFC connector and breakout board to make it more user-friendly...
Yeah... check around. I bought two FFC connectors to fit a DS touch screen I picked up (future Netduino project).
#3297 Netduino vs Plus
Posted by Eric Burdo on 30 September 2010 - 07:37 PM in General Discussion
P.S. Unless someone knows where I can nab a public beta, I'd grab it right now.
I don't know of any. I had to hunt around to get mine.
Outside of the SD card and network port... they are the same. Same pins, same .net MF, etc.
If you want to get started now.... then expand later, buy a Netduino now, and get a Plus when they are released to the public. You can take everything you've done on the Netduino, and run it on the Plus.
