Hi,

Just a quick update to let you know that the Nwazet DAQ module product page features a series of Tutorials and Code snippets to help you getting started building applications. I'm also working on a few videos showing the DAQ used in variety of real-world scenarios, but these take time to produce, so stay tuned

Cheers,
-Fabien.

Nice!

Awesome!

Yup! I'm working on a simple 3-step tutorial right now

Hi all,

It appears that many folks in the Netduino community aren't aware that [nwazet is producing GO! modules

First, we have created a cool touchscreen module, making it super easy to build user interfaces and display images with your Netduino GO!




Them we also built a Relay module, capable of switching big loads up to 16 Amps:




Even though we are just starting out in the Open Source / Open Hardware business, we're super-excited about the potential of the Netduino GO! and we are fully committed to the Netduino community (just ask Chris Walker and Stefan ;-)). We'll continue contributing modules, tutorials, source code and designs as we have been doing it for over a year now.

Cheers,
-Fabien & Bertrand.

Hi Stan, I wanted to let you know that dropping the speed down to 57.6 kbps made the XBee communication completely stable. This makes me wonder why Digi even bothers advertising that 115.2 kbps is supported when it's really not working well at all... Live and learn I guess Cheers, -Fabien.

Thanks Chris Done!

Hi Stan, Thanks for the pointer to this article I had heard this mentioned before but I had never experienced this unreliability so consistently until today. I'll experiment with lower speeds tomorrow and will report on my finding. This is unfortunate because I need all the speed I can get for an interactive Go! demo at Seattle Maker Faire this weekend. Thanks, Cheers, -Fabien.

Yeah, I saw that... Pretty impressive test rig. I guess they omitted that specific test case though

Hi Pete,

Does power have to come in through the USB port (even with a battery->USB adapter) or is it possible to have a power module with a GO socket. Basically want to know if the +5v and +3v3 pins are one-way or if you can power the whole board and its modules through one of them.

I know that it's a 'frowned upon' practice by Chris but I do it all the time during module development: it prevents issues with the SWD / SWIM debug interface caused by the Netduino Go! recycling the power to the module every time it starts. If you use a well regulated supply at the same power levels as expected by the Go! main board, it works without damaging the board.


Just my 2 cents
-Fabien.

Hi Remor,

The Nwazet DAQ module works very well with FTDI based adapters and should do very well with the MDFLY Bluetooth module.
As a matter of fact, expect a demo dedicated to wireless serial communications in the very near future...

Cheers,
-Fabien.

Hi Paulo,

You could connect any pH probe using I2C, serial or analog data to the Nwazet DAQ module.
I would not recommend bit-banging I2C data if you care about reliability, especially when dealing with sensors using 400 kHz frequencies

As an alternative, check out this excellent pH interface project: http://www.sparkyswi...HInterface.aspx

Cheers,
-Fabien.

Hi Alex, No updates: my focus is entirely on Go! module development at the moment. Contributions are welcome though Cheers, -Fabien.
