@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...

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.

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!

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!

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 glad that some of you found my library useful, and posted about your results:
http://forums.netdui...-seeeduino-lcd/
I was thinking to put it on CodePlex so that we can keep a better track of all code changes and extensions. What do you think?
Should I keep the name MicroLiquidCrystal for the project?
When I did mine... I actually changed the name of a few things... for unknown reasons (not sure why I did)...
I think the name works... Micro Framework - Micro Liquid Crystal library...

Now I'm thinking of making an app which takes text messages and/or e-mails and translates them into morse code
That would be awesome and hillarious.
If you ever want a good book to read... The Cuckoo's Egg - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book)
Great book about computer hacking in the mid 80's.
Anyhow... Cliff Stoll (guy in the book) wrote some code to have the computers call his pager when certain events happened... and the page gave out morse code to alert Cliff of the specifics. Kinda neat for something from the 80's (pre-text messaging, email devices, etc).

In theory, yes. But some PCs have auto-detect and will swap the RX/TX if you use teh "wrong" cable.
Yeah... my router will do that too... rather handy.

I've thought about writing a book on the Netduino myself... but I'd probably do better with a "electronics whiz" partner. Someone who knows the EE theory well.
I'm a software guy, dabbling in hardware.

It will be nice to power the board through Power Over Ethernet.
It's an important feature that I really need on my domotic project, is it plane ?
I've never tried it... but you could start here:

They also have a shield for PoE too.

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.

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.

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)...

Well, the Netduino hasn't been around as long... but it's off to a good start.
The majority of the Arduino shields and components are compatible with the Netduino... and if you can read C# code, you can usually read the Arduino code, and port it to C#.
That being said... I have never used an Arduino... I just started into the Netduino myself. I'm a programmer by trade (mostly .NET stuff) and the fact that I can finally use C# is great.
