Very nice.

#64696 Deploy with custom software (without VS)

You can always modify the code to load the Assembly form an embedded resource.

#64560 Missing System.Collections.BitArray

Posted by scardinale on 24 November 2015 - 02:12 PM in General Discussion

replace (((int) 1) << pos)) 

with LeftShift((int)1, pos)

and you have what you need for VB.

#64557 Missing System.Collections.BitArray

Posted by scardinale on 24 November 2015 - 01:45 PM in General Discussion

The BitArray is in the full framework and not in the Micro Framework.

How is the "Hex Byte" being returned from your device. If you are receiving a Byte array and not a string, it would be much easier and faster to check the bit with the following code:

public static bool IsBitSet(byte value, byte pos)
{
    return ((value & (((int) 1) << pos)) != 0);
}

#64554 Missing System.Collections.BitArray

Can you find this method in C#?

I do not think that it is in the Micro Framework at all.

You can use the BitArray class from http://enumutils.codeplex.com/

#64539 I2C strange behavior

Glad to help.

#64535 I2C strange behavior

Posted by scardinale on 18 November 2015 - 11:49 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Try using this example from GHI's codeshare. It will tell you what the I2C address of your device is. If you get an value back it will tell you the 8bit address and verify that your setup is correct.

#64532 I2C strange behavior

Posted by scardinale on 18 November 2015 - 12:13 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

That is true about the addressing but NetMF uses a 7-bit addressing scheme and automatically appends the correct bit when reading or writing internally. So all you need to do is supply the 8-bit address right shifted by one.

#64527 I2C strange behavior

Posted by scardinale on 18 November 2015 - 12:32 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

0x40 is the 8 bit I2C address. NetMF uses 7 bit addressing, so try 0x40 >> 1 as your I2C Address.

@ Dr Who. Exactly which SerialLCD are you having difficulties with? Perhaps if we knew which one we would be better able to help you.

#63601 Analog input problem

Posted by scardinale on 22 July 2015 - 01:16 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

public AnalogInput(
	Cpu.AnalogChannel channel,
	double scale,
	double offset,
	int precisionInBits
)

More than likely, you are setting the precision bits to a value that is not supported by the hardware.
