NICE CATCH! Like really, how did you get those for $10? they look awesome
Anyways have you looked at this? - http://content.vexro...ol-06272008.pdf

Also this guy that I learned Charlieplexing from... he did a video on RF links, not exactly the same but you might find some useful info...

The local Radio Shack (3 of them within driving distance) were closing... so I got all sorts of things on clearance.

You used to be able to buy the controllers via eBay for cheap too... but, I just checked and didn't see any. However, you might be able to find either a full VEX kit on eBay... or maybe buy the controllers elsewhere.

Thanks for that YT clip. I'll check it out. Maybe I can work on this after I get a few other things (aka, a job) settled.

Maybe we should put together a Netduino get-together at CES?

It would be fun to meet the makers in person. And I could maybe share some of the history behind why the Netduino project got started... And talk about some of the other projects that Secret Labs has built.

Chris

That would be cool.

When is CES?

We successfully flashed a Netduino's .NET Micro Framework runtime using a Mac this afternoon. Not with Parallels or VMWare, but with native Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Mono 2.6.7 (and a serial cable/serial shield).

Very early prototype. More to come.

Chris

Cool! I don't have a Mac... but I know many who do... and that this is a big step in the right direction!

Just the two for me... a Netduino and a Plus. Neither are in a "permanent project" right now. Just using them for learning and fun. I have a couple of project ideas in my head, to work on over the winter. If they work out, I'll likely be getting about 10 mini's for a spring/summer project.

How about just asking people to tag their projects with Netduino or Netduino Plus? Many of the projects can be built with either, as long as it doesn't use the built-in Ethernet or MicroSD.
