Sound Sensor, Wifi Shield and BreadBoard

Sensor Board Wifi Netduino Plus

I don't think there any Netduino specific WiFi shields. Look for an Arduino shield. Here is one,

The problem with these shields is that the drivers are Arduino specific. This is a Netduino project using an Arduino shield with Netduino drivers,

But, expect to be frustrated with these shields because you need to talk to them over SPI. However, You don't need a WiFi shield. The Edimax simply turns your Netduino ethernet port transparently into a wireless connection; thereby avoiding all driver complications. After you configure the Edimax for your network, connect its ethernet port into the Netduino ethernet port, provide power to the Edimax and the Netduino will be connected to your wireless network. Also, another advantage is that you do not tie up any SPI pins.

 

If you want a stack arrangement,, just get a protoshield and affix the Edimax to it. The Edimax will fit exactly between the headers without any modification.

Hello Friends,

 

I am fairly new to Netduino Plus platform. I bought one recently and have started playing around with it.

 

I am starting off a project which I need following :

 

1. A sound sensor compatible with Netduino Plus

2. A breadboard

3. A Wifi Shield

 

For Wifi shield, I saw Edimax been suggested on the forum (http://forums.netdui...56-wifi-shield/)

 

Can you please suggest me, for the above three, where can can I purchase them and which one to purchase. If it integrates with the Netduino board with minimum fuss.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Brikesh

You can buy breadboards anywhere; Mouser, Adafruit ...

Thanks for responding. I got the sensors, breadboard, connectors from radio shack. However I am still not able to find a netduino plus compatible wifi shield. Can you help me out?
