Yes, exactly. You can also rename one of them to something more permanent by using the Target > Configuration > USB option in MFDeploy.

For instance, you could name one "NetduinoPlus_PeanutButter" and the other "NetduinoPlus_Jelly". [Bonus: if they ever become sentient, they'll already be friends...]

Naming them is probably the best option...because them it won't matter which order they're plugged in...Visual Studio will always recognize them by their custom names.

Excellent. Thanks again, Chris.

Thanks for all the responses. Being new to Netduino it seems to me that their is not a lot of wifi compatible hardware out there for the netduino.

I have seen the following "Mantis" bot at this site.

They are using the netduino plus (with the ethernet port) and used a 12 volt car battery in addition to a wireless router.

I was thinking that this might be an alternative way of acheiving my objective.

I purchased my netduino yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive, so I can start playing.

If the physical size does not hinder the project, then using a wireless router with a Netduino Plus is a good method. I think you'll find Netduino to be a useful microcontroller platform. Good luck.

I use the Gainspan GS1011 Wi-Fi module (http://sprkfn.com/p10505) and it works well with Netduino. It operates on 3.3VDC and connects to the UART and uses simple serial commands for communications. I've even gotten it to function as a very simple WiFi web server by serving the pages from the onboard Netduino microSD card.

I see there is an Xbee WiFi module available, but I have never used it and I do not know if it is compatible with Netduino.

1x Netduino
1x Wifi component from Weburban - http://store.weburba...urban/wifi.html

Hi Omnomnomsies,

My brief review of the datasheet for the Weburban WiFi component indicates that it is designed for PIC microcontrollers, and that it requires a TCP/IP stack loaded onto the PIC. I am skeptical that this WiFi component can interface directly with Netduino, since Netduino is based on an ARM MCU core. Sure, physically it might be able to connect, but in terms of the software, I am unaware of any C# TCP/IP stack written to specifically connect Netduino with this WiFi module. I see that there are Arduino libraries for this module, so maybe it is a simple matter of porting the Arduino libraries to Netduino; however, that might not be so simple.

For Wi-Fi on Netduino, I use a Gainspan GS1011MIP module. The link there is to a forum post I made a while ago. There is sample code there to get you started. The Gainspan is the same price as the Weburban module if you get it from Sparkfun.com.



Edit: just to clarify- the Gainspan module operates at 3.3v on a UART connection, not SPI like the Weburban one, in case that matters to you.

Edit 2: I just noticed you're looking for 802.11n. The Gainspan operates on 802.11b, so this might not be a good solution for you...

Why do you need 802.11n for your project? I have found most 802.11n Wi-Fi devices are backwards compatible with 802.11b/g. I am able to run a Wi-Fi web server directly from the Gainspan and my laptop has no problem connecting. I use a Netduino Plus for the built-in SD card, to store the web pages that I serve from the module. Works great.
