I have been modifying circuitry and code to be more reliable. Code was updated/tested with the latest .NET Micro Framework (4.2 QFE1) . In the meantime, I have created a repository with the base class library at https://github.com/f...r/HomeAlarmPlus . Thanks and enjoy!

I just tried Hello Pachube example to get started with ethernet activity.

var voltagePort = new AnalogInput(Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);

The above line is not computing. AnalogInput is wavy underlined and Error reads:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'AnalogInput' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I had a similar problem before. The following code solved my problem:

var voltagePort = new SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.AnalogInput(SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus.Pins.GPIO_PIN_A1);

I agree with Cuno, Pachube's code is working fine with the Cosm.

I would like to share with the Netduino community a project that I have been working for the last three months, my home alarm monitoring system using Netduino Plus and a WiFi Internet Adapter.

I provide details and requirements on my blog and in the source code. I hope this is useful to someone.

Thanks!

Chris,

Thank you so much for this library. It was a time saver. I added two more methods to the library (ElapsedSeconds and ElapsedMinutes).

public double ElapsedSeconds
        {
            get
            {
                if (m_startTicks != 0 && m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.Utility.GetMachineTime().Ticks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Seconds;
                }
                else if (m_startTicks != 0 && !m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((m_stopTicks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Seconds;
                }
                else
                    throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }

        public double ElapsedMinutes
        {
            get
            {
                if (m_startTicks != 0 && m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.Utility.GetMachineTime().Ticks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Minutes;
                }
                else if (m_startTicks != 0 && !m_isRunning)
                {
                    TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan((m_stopTicks - m_startTicks));
                    return duration.Minutes;
                }
                else
                    throw new InvalidOperationException();
            }
        }

For best performance, I'd use the Netduino Plus with a WiFi Ethernet Bridge device. I know that a number of people have used Quiche's drivers...but I have not had a chance to use WiFly enough to have a good feel for performance.

I would like to add that I am currently using my Netduino Plus with a Netgear Universal Dual Band Wireless (WNCE3001). It requires a one time setup of SSID and password on the Wireless adapter, just follow the instructions.

Nice Job! Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial. It is really to have the fundamental and basics mentioned in it. Good job!

Chris, I am new in this community and is really fun. I have tested the latest Firmware 4.2RC4 on my Netduino +. No problems at all. I ended up recompiling MFToolkit and NetMFToolbox source code so that now it targets version 4.2 assembly. I have to add that I am not having issues with storing data (logs) on my microSD.
