Uo, another interesting project of MSR released!

The goal is to write a sample project which works in both places using the same C# code. But we could certainly write an iPhone app in C# too (using Mono). That would be cool. [We have WebOS phones, Windows Mobile phones, iPhones, etc. in the labs.]

But mostly, we got new Windows Phones and wanted an excuse to write some code for them

Chris

What kind of project? I think that is going to be difficult to run a project inside the Windows Phone 7 with the same code that in Arduino because Windows Phone 7 is very restricted

Hi José,



We're working on a new commercial product line using .NET MF and will be sharing 10,000's of lines of code between the .NET MF hardware and Windows Phone. Right now, we're compiling some of that code against .NET CF 3.5 as well.

Windows Phone won't allow GPIO access or direct sockets (yet), but it can share a ton of support classes...

Chris

WoW, I didn't know that kind of compatibility between these two platforms! I'll wait for you project to learn more about that

Unfortunately, Visual Studio-based shell is intended primarily for hosting programming languages and software development tools, it does not come with any compiler (i.e. Atmel uses it just as front-end GUI for their tools). VS IDE can be used to launch third-party compilers/linkers (*) etc., but personally I would like to have C++/CLI for ARM - Microsoft already has ARM compiler for years, in embedded Windows SKDs (CE, now the newest Embedded Compact 7).

(*) I was developing VS IDE for MCS-51 toolchains (i.e. Keil C51, SDCC etc.), but there was a serious issue with custom linker build command that did not support passing multiple inputs, fixing that would require implementation of the complete custom build system - which is now possible due to the new common project system and because the whole build system is based on MSBuild.

Wow, it's very interesting the Visual Studio based shell. I think that it's not being used a lot due to that only works on Windows OS

Wow, I didn´t know that Microsoft gives the opportunity to use a Visual Studio based editor to other companies. I prefer this than the lMPLAB X from Microchip based on Eclipse Incredible!

It's a very funny project!!! I think that it would be awesome for Halloween!

Hi,

I have been playing with the extensible emulator included in the .Net Framework and I have build an emulator where you can run the two basic How To's from the Projects page. I think that it would be possible to develop a more advanced emulator to play with a Netduino without a board in our hands.

I have attached a VS2010 solution with a Emulator and Netduino Application project. First of all, you have to build the Emulator project because when building the project, the emulator is registered automatically in the registry with the project name and is then available for use by other .NET Micro Framework applications. After that, uncomment the example that you want to run, and enjoy with the blinking check boxes

P.S: ¿Would be possible to increase the global upload quota? 2MB is a very little space

Hi Hari,

I (and everyone else) would be really interested in seeing the code you mention, but I couldn't see it attached to your post?

Cheers,

Alex.

Hi, you can find it in the Patches page of the Codeplex project -> http://netduinoemula.../PatchList.aspx

Can you try it and tell us if it works as hari's videos or something like the video that is attached?

Thanks Jose,

Just trying to run this as we speak, but keep getting the following error (Attached!)

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, so I assumed rebuilding the solution would work, but apparently not.

Any ideas?

(EDIT: Added the error message)

I looked for some info about the error but I only find one post on MSDN about Silverlight: http://social.msdn.m...e5-92ea875f694c

I don't have now a x64 machine to test the code, sorry!

Hmmm, I've done a bit of research on the error message myself and it seems it might be related to the version of C# that I'm using - Express 2010.

What version are you running? (I'm guessing not the express version!?)

Not, I'm running an Ultimate version over Windows 7 x86. Have you tried to set the two projects to compile/debug against a "x64" platform instead "Any CPU"?

José would you make a project on github or something like that so we might all be able to contribute to your emulator?

I have uploaded to Codeplex, It's supports TFS. The code uploaded is "spaghetti code" but it's the start point to build something

You can find it in http://netduinoemulator.codeplex.com

Thanks buddy. I was going to team up with you to workon this emulator but I have been so busy lately so I haven't had a chance to even touch my netduino board. I'm not too familiar with WPF but when I have a chance, I'll try to learn WPF and help put more features into. By sharing this project at CodePlex, you're already famous Keep up the good work.

No problem, I don't have so much time too. I'll make it in my free time between classes and exams. About WPF, I don't have a lot of experience either but I love learning new things.

I have been writing WPF/Silverlight for a few years now...I would be happy to contribute to the emulator. Let me know if you need some assistance.

All help is well received. You are welcome to the project.

I am reading "Expert .NET Micro Framework" from Apress. The last two chapters talk about "Hardware emulation" and "Emulator components". I have the ebook, so, if any one needed, I can "share the knowledge" with him

The main problem that I have now is that I don't know how to start. I don't fully understand how the .net micro framework emulator works and how the Netduino Board Emulator must work.

So, if any one have his ideas more clear than me or knows how to start, I would like to hear him

Thanks!

Jose,

You did a pretty good job with that simple emulator. By any chance are you going to improve on that emulator with more options? I was thinking about doing it but finding the time is difficult. If you're not going to do it, let me know and I will work on it when I have time. I'm envisioning something similar to this:

http://informatix.mi...edEmulator.aspx

Let me know.

Thanks!

I would like to improve it with more options, but I need two simple things: time and knowledge to do it Something like the Advanced Emulator will be great, what do you think about working together to try to build something like that?

Great, I have the emulator running in WPF, so, now it's time to add more things

José,

Thank you very much for sharing this!!! I've tried it out and it works great, and is an excellent starting point to further expand on.

José, that's pretty awesome. I'll have to open this up later and play with it!

Thank you, now I'm trying to use WPF instead Windows Forms to develop the emulator interface. I think that is better to move to this technology instead using the old WF but I can't run the emulator after change some things. Any idea on how to migrate the emulator app?

I Like! xD

Building something similar to Philips Ambilight? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambilight

You don't need to open the post before doing the 3D model, you can open after doing it You are doing a great work with Netduino

Anyone have a link or details of the book?

+1

You can make a Live Broadcast using something like UStream

Hi! hwiguna and me are working on it, if you are interested in developing the emulator, I can add you to the Codeplex Project as a developer. This way, you can use the Team Foundation repository to upload and share the code and work all together. Regards!

I just got my Netduino, what I don't understand is the purpose of the little colorful stamp/piece of paper. Also is there a summary of the netduino sdk anywhere. I am an old guy who is used to having a reference other than the code.

It´s a Microsoft Tag http://tag.microsoft...umer/index.aspx it has info encoded in the colors and shapes

Add it to the Project Showcase Forum, it would be useful for other people in the community http://forums.netdui...oject-showcase/

No, right now it's not supported. The usb connection is only available to deploy and debug the apps with Visual Studio

Chris said that are working on it: http://forums.netdui...indpost__p__255
