I got the chip running using rs232 port for download. I would like to use the usart for talking to a serial display at the same time. Can this be done? I tried some netduino code. "s1=new(serialports(com1)); " but got an error.

Hi skywalker,

Welcome to the Netduino community.

You can use the 3.3V TTL UART on pins 11 and 12 to communicate with a serial display (as long as the serial display uses 3.3V/5V signals). The port on pins 11 and 12 is COM1.

As far as your code, it should look something like "SerialPort s1 = new SerialPort("COM1", 115200...)". Can you post a snippet of your code?

Chris

I apologize for stupidty. I am new to this. I must be missing a reference. The project automaticaly added using System; using System.Threading; using Microsoft.SPOT; using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware; using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware; using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.NetduinoMini; namespace NetduinoMiniApplication1 { public class Program { public static void Main() { // write your code here SerialPort s1 = new SerialPort("COM1", 115200); } } } I still get an error"missing a reference". When I look at the Microsoft.spot.hardware.system.io.ports. I dont see SerialPort, although there is a serial class listed.

Hi skywalker,

Be sure to add Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.SerialPort.dll as a reference to your project.
