I think it goes with the feeling green imperative... I don't quite get the sensor fascination everybody else seem to share - probably just me missing out on something...
Using heating when people are coming home/waking up and mostly turning it off when leaving home for a while (that needs to be defined) things like that ... my thoughts !

#12146 Looking for hardware specific resources

Welcome to the communityI ordered my Netduino Plus
Working on it !Is there a reference document or any other resource that has the complete list of these types of functions and there parameters?
There is a bunch of code samples all over the place (and some in the sandbox.netduino.com) but I am working on a series of formal Tutorials (with Fritzing diagrams, documentation and code sample) and, I am also planning to get this list of functions/types available to us in the SecretLabs namespace (Chris I'll need your input for that).
It should be organized and easy to find
In the meantime, search the forums using keywords like SPI or I2C, you should find something that helps
Mike.

That would be perfect for a tutorialWe might consider to study a special "good-practice" guidance for tiny boards like Netduino.
Perfect for newbies like me that want to learn the best practice on MF

Welcome to the community
- Featured project link on the front page takes you to the projects page, but the featured project is not listed.
- Hardware link only shows the original netduino not the mini or plus
LOL, I use the specs page often and yes it is missing the mini and the PLUS specs (how many IO pins, which one are they, etc.) And the Projects page is a missnomer ... I agree that the Projects page should have a series of official projects with a link to the rest of the project showcase (and wiki).
But that goes to show that they are very busy with their HOT PRODUCTS !
You make a good point ! That is why some of us are working hard at doing more structured tutorials for newbies like me
Try to type keywords in the Forum search, you might get many things you are looking for.

Hi There,
I found many I2CBus implementation to use ... which one should I use ? Any reason why ?
Is it planned to include such a class into the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware name space ? Should it be ?
Here are some links to the implementation I found :

Taking notes ... cross post
a scope is a definite must ... It help me found out I was using the wrong item (mine has voltage so I discovered that I was sending peaks of +- 2V and I was using something needing 20V lol
Needless to say that I am a newbie and I want to build such a structured tutorial site. The sandbox is good but structure is missing for the right push ! The sandbox should be ready sooner than my site but I'll start asap !

#12516 Slightly off topic - HID device to Windows

But I will need to have a RS232 Shield to be able to deploy using RS232 (and then remove the RS232 Shield ?). Then I can connect to a pc using usb and communicate with the pc using the usb ? (do I need to give the netduino power with an external source?)Early USB HID support is built into the v4.1.1 beta firmware. We posted a sample for a driverless HID communication channel.
Was not thinking of using an external one. Was looking at the echo code which would be perfect for me ... except for the RS232, my portable does not have one ... but simple enough for transfering sensor data to a full graphical application !You could certainly do these sorts of things natively on Netduino. The benefit of using an external component, I suppose, is that a lot of the software work may already be done for you.

Do I understand this correctly, it would allow a PC Software to communicate with sensors connected to the netduino using the usb cable ? Like showing the results of the accel, gyro, compas on the computer screen ?
Is something missing on the netduino to do what I just described ? This would be a great tool to work with

That I'll have to try LOLWould you really want to Fritzing a quadrocoptor project?
And I thought that by using Fritzing and doing the wiring diagram, the schematics would have been done automatically no ?
As for forcing people to use one tool over the other one ... not for here but on my web site I will. Everey project will have the same look and feel, consistent. And it will be for newbies mostly ... I even want to do a Solid Works of my future quadcopter to find the center of mass and put the sensors there

Not too general, meaning, applicable to our needs ... pull-up resistors, what to watch for, etc ...
This is why I want every tutorial to have its own Fritzing diagram, to help learn, and documentation to say why it was done with this or that resistor/capacitor ...
Wow, what a great community we have here

There is no language problem that I see either LOLWe agree to each other, unless there's a langual problem I haven't noticed
I love the community too!
I agree with the fact that schematic are good, but newbies like me like to see the real things and use the mouse to see what the piece of equipment is (what is the value of that resistor connected there) ... a schematic is very good when you know what to look at ... with the fritzing diagram I can understand the schematics
I can relate things easier By the way, I want everything in the wiki but I want to put more structure on the whole thing with documentation for the tutorials ... that is why I am creating my own site for my tutorials, and the fact that many friends of mine (french) want to see the tutorials in french ... I'll oblige them with pleasure ! I'll link them in the wiki once done too

Can you point towards an exemple of SPI or I2C external memory ? I'd like to see how that worksHowever, in case you don't want any SD, you may use an external memory via SPI or I2C.
