#11528 Driverless PC<->Netduino communication using USB

It made me think ... could it be used to connect multiple netduinos and perform heartbeat check on each other for redundancy ? Mike.

You can also erase your Netduino using the erase pad...and then redeploy the bootloader using Atmel SAM-BA and the firmware using MFDeploy...all using USB.

Great News everyone, Terry Massey found a new way to get out of this mess. FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE TO THE LETTER :

Prepare everything since time is of the essence.

1- Have your netduino with the mini usb connected to it but not to the computer (leave the usb connection near the ports)
2- Start MFDeploy.exe, select USB as the transport (the combobox will be empty, and that is ok)
3- Put the mouse over the "erase" button on MFDeploy.exe

Once you are ready do this :

1- Press and hold the push button on the netduino for the whole procedure (leave it pushed at all times)
2- Plug the USB to the computer
3- You should see the combobox in MFDeploy.exe contain your usb port
4- Press as fast as you can the "erase" button on MFDeploy.exe
5- You can now release the push button on the netduino

If it worked, you should get a message asking if you are sure you want to erase the software on the netduino. This will only delete de software, not the bootloader

You can now deploy some other application while waiting for you RS232 shield and try the HID again

THANKS TERRY !

Where is the code ? How do we get access to it ? I like the plug and play framework philosophy and want to build a netduino quadcopter with kalman filters for stability ... I want to contribute too but you guys are way ahead of me ... I just started !

So how can I get the code ?

I actually ended up writing a craplet to spit out some g code to do what I needed (drill a hole every .5 inches along the x and y axis in a 12"x12" board.

I was learning AUTOCAD 2012 and switch to INVENTOR 2012, and doing what you need takes about 3 minutes ... you should look into it !
