Jeez I feel like I did something wrong.  82 views and not even a "You silly newb..." response.  Well to simplify matters I purchased an Arduino Uno and decided to just surrender.  All the sensors and action components work fine.  I have the Ardiuno sketch library that makes everything easy.  I would have liked to complete this project with the Netduino but I need some way to package the information I discovered and just don't have the necessary programming skills to pull it off.  If anyone SHOULD happen to have a C# class skeleton that they would be willing to share I would be very grateful.  Meanwhile it is very quiet out here...Maybe too quite. 

If I am posting this in the wrong place please let me know.  I am using a Netduino Plus 2 so I thought it should go here.  I have currently discovered the following about the Tinkerkit board Basic Kit:

On the Output side:

Digital Pin 3 ties to Output pad 5 Digital Pin 5 ties to Output pad 4 Digital Pin 6 ties to Output pad 3 Digital Pin 9 ties to output pad 2 Digital pin 10 ties to Output pad 1 Digital pin 11 ties to Output pad 0

 

On the Input Side:

Analog pin 5 reads from Input pad 5 Analog pin 4 reads from Input pad 4 Analog pin 3 reads from Input pad 3 Analog pin 2 reads from Input pad 2 Analog pin 1 reads from Input pad 1 Analog pin 0 reads from Input pad 0

 

I can blink a Tinkerkit LED using any of the Output pads and PWM.  I can also read from a Tinkerkit knob from any of the analog Input pins and debug print the value between zero and one corresponding to the knob's position.  All this means I can use a Tinkerkit board and it's attaching components with a Netduino.  What I can't do is put that information into a class and package it so it is easy to use.  Does anyone have any suggestions or possibly a generic class written in VB so I can figure it out myself?  Thanks for any replies.

I have searched the forum and I can't find anything  concerning this topic.  Is there any existing code for using a Tinkerkit shield with a netduino?  I have the library .h and .cpp files but I have no experience at all with C++ or arduino code.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you

I just received my Netduino Plus 2 today.  I upgraded the firmware to the 4.3 version from SecretLabs and also upgraded my .Net microframework to 4.3.  I am currently running Windows 7 sp1 64 bit and using Visual Studio 2012.  I am coding in VB.
 
I began by running a simple blink program for the onboard LED.
 

Imports Microsoft.SPOTImports Microsoft.SPOT.HardwareImports SecretLabs.NETMF.HardwareImports SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlusModule Module1Sub Main()' write your code hereDim led As New OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, False)Do While TrueThread.Sleep(1250)led.Write(True)Thread.Sleep(1000)led.Write(False)Thread.Sleep(1250)LoopEnd SubEnd Module

 
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]When I deployed the code to the board I was informed that the "debugging target was not in an initialized state" and my netduino would be rebooting.  The status bar then said "ready" and the debugger exited  but no blinking occurred.  After much frustration I changed from the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoPlus to SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino and the program deployed as expected.  The silk screen on the board says "Netduino Plus 2".  Which reference should I be using and why did the netduinoplus reference not work?[/font]

Thanks for the code samples.  Perhaps you could help me with a difficulty I am having.  I am trying to us VB to get a Netduino to run a servo. I have the 4.2 version of the micro-framework and am unable to find PWM in the Microsoft.SPOT.hardware name space.  I use Visual Studio 2010 and can not install the 4.3 micro framework.  Am I just out of luck.  I have a reference to the SPOT name space but when I enter PWM into the code to "Dim" it, the intellisense tells me there is no such thing.  Please help.
