Hi to everyone,

 

I'm trying to use a 16x4 lcd in my project, but I can not initialize and use it because I don't know the "function set" that I must use with this kind of display. Every tutorial/datasheet explain how to use maximum 2 lines, and I can not find anything useful. Could you help me?

 

PS: I'm not using any library because I want do it myself!

I have a Netduino Plus 2 board with SDK version 4.2.2.2 (the one which I found in the page netduino.com/downloads/). I asked about the firmware because I read about problems in setting static IP address with older versions, but I suppose that with my configuration everything should be ok. What can I do? For the moment I'm using the board connected to the router with DHCP enabled.

If I try to set a static IP address, I get an error when I ask to save the configuration ("Unable to write the configuration", OUTOFMEMORY). I've read that an old firmware had this problem but I have 4.2.2.2 version. Do I need to install 4.3.0 beta firmware?

Thank you for your replies!

 

In MFDeploy DHCP is checked.

 

If I connect N+2 to my router I can communicate easily through ethernet (thank you wendo), before I was trying a direct communication N+2-PC. What I have to do in this case?

Running these first lines of code I always have as output "0.0.0.0". What does it mean?

//Initialize Socket classsocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);//Request and bind to an IP from DHCP serversocket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 80));//Debug print our IP addressDebug.Print(Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0].IPAddress);

Hi to everyone,

 

I'm not new to Netduino, but this is my first time with ethernet communication.

 

I'm trying to understand how to set a communication between my PC and Netduino Plus 2 through ethernet. As a start, I found here and in internet a lot of projects which use a class (usually called WebServer) to communicate with a browser, but using these solutions I've never been able to set any communication.

 

For these reasons I have two questions for you:

1) can you please link me a solution which you use successfully with your N+2 so I can check if everything is ok with my PC - N+2 connection?

2) (After point 1) do you have any code example which can help me in the creation of a Windows Form (with Visual Studio 2010) which can be connected to N+2 through ethernet? Obviously I talk about only the communication part of the code.

 

Thank you very much.
