Hi Chris, same problem as Faith! I don't know what happened! Yesterday my netduino+ suddently stop works! All Leds are ON, I tried almost everything without success...My ND+ still dead..and WIN7 doesn't recognize it with the same sympthoms as Faith's ND.... Some suggestion? Thanks in advance, Netduinerd

Just an Icon File for the community. Merry Xmas Netduinerd

I confirm Math.pow function doesn't exists in the latest .NET MF implementation. Anyway I had wrote my own power function like the first Baxter's post, now I'll understand all of ur suggestions guys. Thanx a lot, Netduinerd

Hi all, I'm looking for the Visual basic Exponent Operator "^" or its replacement without success....any suggestion? Thanx in advance Netduinerd

Hi - why are you only referring to one of the wires? Should I not be using 2 for RX and TX?

Cause, u already connect RX Wifi wire to DIO_1 (TX) correcly.

Regards,
Alberto

cool that that works, even if it is a bit of a typical Microsoft fix [start help desk voice]have you rebooted sir?[/end helpdesk voice]

I really am bummed about it as VS is by far the best IDE - Arduino has an IDE with functionality which is only rivalled by notepad and is slightly quicker than my coffee grinder. For those reasons, I dislike it.
Busy giving Fez a whirl now. Waiting with baited breath for the first signs of...

I happen with my VS2010 and ND+ too... I workaround the problem disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.....(that means reboot the ND)...

Hi,

I recently purchased the WiFly RN-171, but I don't think I'm connecting it up right... could someone please explain where I'm going wrong?

It's using RS-232 not SPI. I've connected a RX wire to DIO_1 and a TX wire to DIO_2 (I'm using pad 2 + 3 for data according to datasheet), but it's always just flashing/alternating between red and green - as if I'm not sending any data at all.

I'm quite positive it's my connections because I've tried many different ways of sending the command-mode ASCII cmd ($$$)...

Here's the datasheet: http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc...ly-RN-XV-DS.pdf

I'm not using a shield, just connecting straight to the module from 3.3V.

Any help would be great.

Hi,
TX Wifi module's wire should be connected to DIO_0(RX) of Netduino.

Hi Netduinerd,

You have to declare the switch as InterruptPort, so you will receive an event whenever it changes (as you receive interrupts with serial communication):

Private WithEvents SW1 As new InterruptPort(Pins.GPIO_PIN_6, true, Port.ResistorMode.Disabled, Port.InterruptMode.InterruptEdgeHigh)

Now it's clear.

Thanx a lot!

Hi Alberto,

Have you tried using the DataReceived event instead? That way you can grab data once it arrives, instead of just waiting for it?

You could also put some of your code on another thread, so it ran in parallel...

Chris

Hi Chris,
plase find the code underneath:

'Serial port declaration
Private WithEvents NDSerial As SerialPort
...
...

Sub Main()
..
NDSerial.Open()
'Wait for some event rises
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite)
..
End Sub

...
Private Sub SerialIn() Handles NDSerial.DataReceived


'HERE THE PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW WHERE PLACE THE FOLLOWING CODE (OR SOMETHING SIMILAR) IN ORDER TO CHECK THE BUTTON STATUS OR BETTER, RISE AN EVENTS WHEN IT HAS BEEN PRESSED

While true
'Read ND+ button status
SW1_Button.Read()
loop

Thanx a lot for ur support!

Alberto

Hi all, I'm trying to read the SW1 button status while my ND+ is waiting for data on the serial port without success. I did it separately, but I can't do it at the same time. Some suggestion? Thanx in advance. Alberto
