NetDroidO? That's kinda cool. Be a neat form-factor for a project.

Also, pick up a copy of Make: Electronics (great book). And then follow along this blog (it does all the experiments in the book). http://handsonelectr...s.blogspot.com/

As a first step to get going how about a traditional server that Netduinos could start checking into? I thought the idea of a Google map overlay showing where all the Netduinos are was brilliant!

Once we have that working,we could then try using a Netduino as a server. Sort of crawl before you walk before you run....

I like that idea... something that would do a mashup of Google or Bing maps... and your Netduino.

NICE CATCH! Like really, how did you get those for $10? they look awesome
Anyways have you looked at this? - http://content.vexro...ol-06272008.pdf

Also this guy that I learned Charlieplexing from... he did a video on RF links, not exactly the same but you might find some useful info...

The local Radio Shack (3 of them within driving distance) were closing... so I got all sorts of things on clearance.

You used to be able to buy the controllers via eBay for cheap too... but, I just checked and didn't see any. However, you might be able to find either a full VEX kit on eBay... or maybe buy the controllers elsewhere.

Thanks for that YT clip. I'll check it out. Maybe I can work on this after I get a few other things (aka, a job) settled.

I have a couple of these (bought them for like.. $10 each, brand new).

I'd like to interface that with my Netduino...

Any suggestions on where to begin?

Hi,

I'm trying to buy at leaste one Netduino from Germany. Is it currently out of stock?

Regards,
Michael

Hi... I live in the US, so I bought mine from MakerShed... but, I stumbled across this site while looking.

http://www.coolcompo...products_id=559

It's UK based, and seems to have a fair price.

ok ,thanks

To my knowledge... they are all sold out. They went pretty quick.

You could either wait (not sure of the release date) or... buy a Netduino, and get a plus later on?

Lots of Netduino Pluses will end up in stockings or will otherwise be given as gifts this December...I can't imagine what kinds of cool things people will be building over the holidays!

Chris

Oooh... stocking stuffers... I know a few folks who would like one... and maybe another 2 for me...

a 10K potentiometer (you may have to buy a soldering iron for this one because I've never seen a breadboard pluggable potentiometer)

I have one... came in this kit here from HiTechnic: http://www.hitechnic...ion&key=NPA1058

That kit is designed to give you solderless breadboard capabilities on the LEGO NXT. Has a nice collection of projects, and I'm replicating them on the Netduino.

All sold out now.

Wow...

But... still no US vendor.

@Chris - you mentioned in your other post that the Plus's sold out over the weekend... will MakerShed be selling any on their website? Or are folks who didn't attend the MakerFaire out of luck on buying one in the US?

You guys should have emailed the forum members on these first. We are the most active on the project and have the most to contribute.

I almost made the trip to NY Maker Faire. It was still an 8 hour drive for me.

About the same for me... but I had plans already, and couldn't get away.

I'm still trying to hunt down a Netduino Plus w/out paying a fortune in shipping...

Still nothing on Makershed...

Hi ThreadAbort,

I posted a message on Wednesday to try to give 48 hours notice to the community members (so they could get first priority). We didn't want people to feel like we were spamming them by sending them an e-mail--but perhaps we should create an opt-in list for these sorts of things?

Last Wednesday's post

Thank you for your contributions and your enthusiasm. Did you give Proto-Advantage a call to see if there were any extras in their allocation batch?

Chris

Proto Advantage has them "on backorder" and have 12 available starting tomorrow (I ordered one). Hopefully nobody beats me to it...

I tried contacting MakerShed, but got no response yet... so went with Proto.

There might be. There was a delivery delay on Proto-Advantage's Netduino Pluses and I think they cautiously listed a few fewer Netduino Pluses for sale than they were allocated. They ship to both Canada and the United States. I would write them and ask if they have any left. If they do, it'll just be a few--but that's your best bet.

I think MakerSHED pretty much sold all of theirs at MakerFaire NY over the weekend.

Chris

(I wish there was a crying icon). I would have bought from Proto if I'd known Maker was going to sell them on their site. The Plus would have been perfect for the presentation I'm doing end of October.

I'll call Proto and see if they happen to have any left in stock... Maybe I can scrounge on up that way.

I'm a complete .Net guy and I'd love to dedicate my free time to contribute to this, but given that it's $90 just to have it shipped from down under I'll have to keep on using the Arduino already in my hands.

Beta or not, any ETA on having more available in the US?

Thanks.

For the plus? I haven't even seen one available yet in the US. Hopefully the add them soon!

Try Proto-Advantage in canada (is nearer to you ) they said will ship starting 28 (tomorrow). It is marked in stock

Good luck!

Yup... just placed an order. MakerShed never replied back to me... so Proto-Advantage it is!

thanks - I doubt there was a USB drive attached when it was installed but i will check next week..Do you happen to know where most/all of the application is installed at in a default install ?? (ie program files ...)

Could also be that the Netduino installer goes into a folder that the regular user account can't see... But I don't know where..

Running Windows XP (SP3).. We have a student that needs to use the program.. His account is a standard User account.. The teacher has a administrator account on the machine>> It runs fine with her account but not his... My Question is what folders/rights need to be changed for the "standard" user account in XP.. Below is her email to me.. Thanks in advance
Doug

We downloaded and installed the Netduino Development requirements (http://netduino.com/downloads/) for Omar's AT project.
When you open Visual C# 2010 click on new project and select the .NET Micro Framework it should have "Netduino Application" as an option on the right. When logged into my teacher account it works but when he tries it on his account it doesn't show that option. Is there anyway to get around this?

I don't have a solution... but I do have a similar problem.

For whatever reason, when I installed the Netduino bits... they installed the templates and such to my USB drive.

So... if I have my USB drive connected, I can do the Netduino Application projects... if I don't, the Netduino stuff doesn't show up.

You might be able to find where the Netduino template installed, and either give the student rights to that, or move it so he can see it?

Corey... That's pretty neat. I'm going to have to load that up for the kids to play with a bit... and learn about some of the events more.

Oooh... now I wonder if I can find one of those toys on eBay!

Hi, This thread here might help: http://forums.netdui...er-interfacing/ Basically, the only USB communication right now, is via the Debug.Print command from your code... so no, not really. You currently can't talk back and forth with the Netduino and USB.

I have a tiny bit of code I throw into each project I do. It just flashes the LED a couple times when the program starts. Kinda gives me a half-second "hey you" so I know the app is starting. But the flashing lid to signify activity... that would be kinda neat.

I must have missed my tracking #. Could you resend it? ;-)

Me too!

I think I'll hold off just a bit before buying my 2nd Netduino too. I'm supposed to give a talk in October for our local .NET user group... I wanted 2 Netduinos (easier to showcase different projects that way)...

Still not yet available with Makershed... I want to know how much... I'm doing a talk to the local .NET user group in October... and I need a 2nd Netduino... I'd like to get one of these new ones, to show them both off.
