Look at www.gardenbot.org for a sample on how to do it

#12178 Native code resources

Here's a small google spreadsheet with the netduino -> MCU pin mappings.

Thanks, noted !

This is way out of my league but I agree with him, a special topic in the forum for this advanced topic

#13127 N+ Serial Read Frequency

Posted by Michel Trahan on 11 May 2011 - 02:50 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

My first thought would be : writting to an SD card is SLOW ...

#12332 Microsoft video on Internet of Things

Posted by Michel Trahan on 21 April 2011 - 10:51 AM in General Discussion

Hmm - a bit on the 'content free' side?

You think ? LoL

Lots of fine looking buildings though!

Saw the inside of them a couple of years ago when doing a job interview (6 out of 7 meetings, they usually give you your office key at the 7th ... missed it by that much), and the inside is great ! You should see the cafeteria, with their own chefs (yeah read chefs, with an s) lol

But the best was that on every floor there was softdrink distributor (free that is) with every imaginable kind of softdrink

#12359 N+ Port Listener

Posted by Michel Trahan on 21 April 2011 - 04:45 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

I needed to provide a web server for a project I worked on a while ago (details here) which can be used to isten on multiple ports - just put each listener in it's own thread.

Would it be too much to ask to package this project and transfer it to the wiki somehow ? Thanks for posting !

#12596 Parking Sensor

Posted by Michel Trahan on 28 April 2011 - 04:03 PM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1)

Add a yellow for the right position you want (hardcoded since no interface) and a red when you go beyond the right position. That would be a perfect solution. (human factor specialist in me had to comment) Besides that good work and Welcome to the community

Hi everyone, Here is the zip file containing all the HTML files generated by the sandcastle tool for the SecretLabs namespace. I will build on that, hope it helps. Mike. p.s.: darn I have to split the files ... bigger than 2 megs ... put them back into one directory before using them ! The start pages of the namespace documentation starts with the letter N p.p.s.: can anyone tell me why the chm file was not created ? I am on windows 7 64bits ...

#12101 Plan for training and education

Posted by Michel Trahan on 14 April 2011 - 12:11 PM in General Discussion

Hi Everybody,

I am thinking of buying a .com domain for netduino tutorials and call it ... netduinotutorials.com ? (should it be .org ?)

I want to document every project/tutorial with Fritzing diagrams (Fritzing.org) (Thanks to Stefan for this link), Visual Studio C# solutions, and a lot of explanation ... about many things.

I would also like to include a coding style (make many things static since we are in a very small footprint (does that make sense for an explanation ?)

I would like to invite many (like omar) to donate their project to this tutorial effort. I would like it to be open source with editing to enforce coding style (would that be too much to ask ?)

This project will take time since I want every project to be defined into Fritzing (read defining the parts graphics and specs).

Anyone interesting about that ?

Mike

#12461 Unstable USB connector

Posted by Michel Trahan on 24 April 2011 - 01:26 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

By the way, I have a netduino (normal one) and I am not gentle with my material (I throw the breadboard with the netduino connected to everything on the table with all my stuff (books, paper and all) all the time ... and never got it broken off nor disconnected. Mine is Mike proof

So consider yourself not lucky because it works great for me

#12102 Code Repository

[Chris is taking notes.]

Me too !

See this

I am very serious to get this tutorial built, planing to buy a .com or .org for it, serious. If we agree that it need to be, I'll buy it tonight (almost bought it this morning since both are available) ... should it be .com or .org ?

Mike.

            I2CBus i2cBus = I2CBus.Instance;

Which I2CBus implementation are you using ... it refuses to compile due to missing ".Instance" ...

#11996 Are there any commercial products using NETMF?

Posted by Michel Trahan on 12 April 2011 - 12:27 PM in General Discussion

We actually work on quite a few commercial .NET MF-based electronics products (including mass-market ones) over on the commercial/consulting side of the business. Outside of that, I know that quite a few specialized products use .NET MF.

Chris ... we want names

LOL I think Hanzibal wanted to have names ... Am I right ?

#13147 MFDeploy: Deployment Status "Executing Application"

Several people have mentioned using a "hold button down" technique to unfreeze MFDeploy.

This one ?

#12004 Threads VS Timers

Posted by Michel Trahan on 12 April 2011 - 01:00 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

I read somewhere that the Times are not to be trusted ... not precise ... And a thread for each input ... isn't that an overkill ? Comments by a real newby ...
