Mark,
I am hoping it is because of the long summer and everyone has just been busy, as for me I am working away from home and have to use Hughes net to login to the internet.

Chuck #52511 Call for Secret Labs to Kick Start Go! BusPosted by carb on 03 September 2013 - 12:38 AM in General Discussion Andy, Couldn't agree more, it used to take at least a half hour to read the posts on the forum, and there was almost always someone in the chat room.
Now it is like a ghost town.
I have been working with Raspberry Pi, but would still like to dust off one of the many Netduino boards that I purchased, if and when the new firmware comes out, the shieldbase comes out of beta, go Bus, Ethernet, SD card reader etc. are released to the public.
There has been a lot of broken promises, but I am still hoping that they all will materialize before the Netduino become obsolete.
Chuck #52382 Help bypass switch with reverse current protectionPosted by carb on 27 August 2013 - 12:51 AM in General Discussion Andy,
You can use a single pole double pole switch. The center contact goes to the coil (other side to ground).

Another good source of information is the CodeBlack blog http://blog.codeblac...with-RS232.aspx He has a series of articles on using the Netduino.
Chuck #46265 Xbee to LCD using NetduinoPosted by carb on 26 February 2013 - 05:52 PM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1) Bonzo,
Try searching xbee here in the forum, You should find plenty of code. You may need to change some for firmware changes and different pin layouts.
Also have a look at http://examples.digi.com/ it has a lot of good examples of things that you can do with xbees
Chuck #46110 How to power netduino without USB?Posted by carb on 22 February 2013 - 11:12 PM in General Discussion I plugged each board into a precision power supply that displays applied voltage and the current that is being used.
Barrel connector input with the power supply programed at 7.5 vdc. No IOs other anything else connected. Some may have programs running, I did not erase boards, All have current firmware loaded. https://www.dropbox....nm/IMGP0265.JPG #46086 How to power netduino without USB?Posted by carb on 22 February 2013 - 06:33 PM in General Discussion Current draw for just the boards with power led on (barrel jack 7.5 vdc applied):
#46079 Netduino Plus 1 Firmware v4.2.0 (update 1)Posted by carb on 22 February 2013 - 03:59 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1) Markus,
On the generation 1 boards (except mini) you uses a small gold colored square just inboard of the D0 header for erasing the board. Use a jumper from 3.3 vdc and touch the square for about a 1/2 second.
Then reflash.
The generation 2 boards are erased with STDFU Tester.
Chuck #45698 LED dimPosted by carb on 18 February 2013 - 03:28 AM in General Discussion Toon,
I don't have time to look at the moment, but have you tried searching the forum?
The easiest way is to search from google (the forum doesn't find capitalized letters very well ie. LED, PWM) use:
site:forums.netduino.com led
There should be something there. Chuck #45634 RUSSIAN METEORPosted by carb on 16 February 2013 - 06:10 PM in Project Showcase It was the new sonic boom Go module. #45550 Hello! Just getting started!Posted by carb on 15 February 2013 - 02:56 AM in General Discussion Isomerc,
For some drivers etc. checkout Pololu.com most can be controlled with serial connection. http://www.pololu.com/
Chuck #45397 Netduino Go Firmware v4.2.2 (update 1)Posted by carb on 12 February 2013 - 11:16 PM in Netduino Go Wernerotten,
I don't see any reason it shouldn't work, I updated 2 shieldbases.
Recommend:
If that doesn't work contact Chris (if he doesn't respond to this post) and see if he has any other tricks that will get it updated.
Chuck #45346 Netduino Go Firmware v4.2.2 (update 1)Posted by carb on 11 February 2013 - 11:22 PM in Netduino Go Wernerotten,
Don't worry about it, that is the correct way that it now operates. If you watch closely the first 2 LED flash very briefly, then turn off. If you connect a module like a pushbutton to one of then the LED will work like it used too.
It was a change in the new firmware, part of the rapid boot up changes. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and talked to Chris about it and he said that it was normal with the new firmware.
Hope that helps, Chuck #45244 Netduino Plus 2 Firmware v4.2.1 (Update 1)Posted by carb on 10 February 2013 - 01:56 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1) Dave,

#45186 Dead USB, can't deploy, connect or reset...Posted by carb on 08 February 2013 - 11:07 PM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1) Duefectu,
The Netduino Plus 2 uses a different processor and method to erase and load firmware.
Go to the top of the NP2 page and follow the instructions for erasing the board and reload the desired firmware.
MFDeploy works for the Netduino, but the Netduino Plus 2 requires DFUSE Tester to erase.
Chuck #45152 Netduino Plus 2 not respondingPosted by carb on 08 February 2013 - 11:31 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1) Eddyogi,
For the Netduino Plus 2 use STDFU Tester to erase, hold the button when you plug in the Netduino.
The erase instruction are pinned at the top for updating firmware for the Netduino Plus 2.
Chuck #45050 how to communicate with usb?the code for netduino doesnt work or plus 2Posted by carb on 07 February 2013 - 02:32 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1) Weixiongmei,
You can not use the installed micro USB, it is for power, deployment and debug only.
If you want to talk to the Netduino over a serial port you will need something like http://www.adafruit.com/products/284 or http://www.adafruit.com/products/70.
If you use the cable approach get one that outputs 3.3vdc not the 5vdc.
Read the series from CodeBlack, he has a lot of good information. http://blog.codeblac...ng-Started.aspx
By the way welcome to the forum.
Chuck #45048 small door sensorPosted by carb on 07 February 2013 - 02:21 AM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1) I do not know without some time to research it, but my gut feeling is no.
I will try to help, but may not have much time for awhile. The plant that I work at is being closed down.
Good luck, Chuck #44988 small door sensorPosted by carb on 05 February 2013 - 10:45 PM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1) optimus primer,
The link was to the Keypad that you listed.
I do not know if it would work without seeing what it transmits using a logic analysis or more information from a data sheet.
Chuck #44934 small door sensorPosted by carb on 05 February 2013 - 01:32 AM in Netduino 2 (and Netduino 1) The data out may be something like a serial line that sends the code to the alarm panel instead. It does not make sense to have a wire that just turns the panel on or off. That would only take 2 wires and could be opened or shorted to turn the panel off.
I would not buy the keypad with a data sheet. http://www.intellaho...148 install.pdf
Chuck #44839 PWM not working to drivers.. Questions!Posted by carb on 03 February 2013 - 04:34 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)
Chris,
4.2.2.2? Which firmware is this?
Chuck #44693 System.IO.Exception Occurs In MCP23008LcdTransferProvider ConstructorPosted by carb on 01 February 2013 - 01:15 AM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1) MonsterHunter,
Wlecome to the forum.
I don't think that you can use A4 & A5 for I2C yet. The Netduino 2 Plus has its own SDA & SCL pins at the end of the DIO header. I think that you can tie the A4 to the SDA and A5 to the SCL with a jumper. At least until the firmware is updated to allow using the A4 & A5 connections.
Search for SDA & SCL on the forum uner the NP2+ and you should find additional information
Chuck #44354 Netduino Go and NETMF ToolboxPosted by carb on 28 January 2013 - 02:36 AM in Netduino Go Chris,
The Adafruit RGB LCD Shield is I2C. http://www.adafruit.com/products/714
I have a LCD Backpack that can run in I2C or SPI that I will try to get working next weekend.
Or better yet maybe Komodex Labs will release his LCD module.
Thanks, Chuck
