Chris,

 

I think that would be a great idea and would be handy as we move into the IoT at full speed!!!

#63520 How to Rename N3 for classroom

Chris,

 

Just to clarify, there is no way to change the name of the N3 correct?  Also, I changed the friendly USB name in MFDeploy but in visual studio it still shows up as Netduino3)Netduino.  I have to figure out a way that the students know which board is which. I will label them but it would be nice to see the friendly name in VS.

Thanks for the fast response Chris!  I thought about adding entries into the LMHosts files on the student machines since we image them anyway it wouldn't be too hard.

 

BTW I love the N3!!!  It is so cool to have WiFi built in. I used your suggestion about how to keep the WiFi connected... works great.  Thanks again.

#63493 How to Rename N3 for classroom

Posted by Hobbit on 13 July 2015 - 06:15 PM in Netduino 3

Hi all,

 

I purchased 35 Netduino 3's for my new Home Automation class I plan to teach next Spring. However, I would like to rename each unit so they can be seen on the LAN using a NetBIOS name. I also need a way to be able to find the IP of each device using something like this:

 

IPHostEntry ipEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(hostname);

 

I assigned each board a static IP and DNS points to the router.  I can see the boards in the Arp cache and can ping them just fine. One of the members suggested using NameService but I cannot find the namespace for that in the NetMF.

 

I appreciate your ideas.

 

Hobbit
