Hi Netduino-Community,

first of all, thanks for all your effort and thanks for this great netduino-board. It has never been so easy to see results with a micro controller.

Currently i am trying to interface the ADNS-2610 Optical Mouse sensor through the SPI. The class is ready an works almost. Unfortunately i have to wait 100micro seconds between the write and read-operation. That is currently not possible with the provided WriteRead-Method of the SPI-Class in the API (i guess that wont change anytime soon?).

Bitbanging in the range of milliseconds with the API is a no-go, as i found out after implementing it :(
Then i found Corey and his great library, thank you for your awesome work (even the BitBangig already there :). You now have at least two users, and as a proof i found another bug...

If you currently compile your BitBanger-Class you get an exception
{System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
   at System.Text.StringBuilder.AppendFormat(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args)
   at System.String.Format(IFormatProvider provider, String format, Object[] args)
   at System.String.Format(String format, Object[] args)
   at Kosak.SimpleNGen.util.Util.AsFormat(String item, Object[] args) in D:\Development\TBOT\simpleNgen1.4\SimpleNGen\util\Util.cs:line 11}

Problem is a typo in LdindU1 where it should be
return "LDINDU1 {0},[{1}]".AsFormat(Value, Pointer);


One question remains - is there any current Netduino-Plus Firmware with the NGen-Entry point out there? I would appreciate that very much as it seems that i wont be able to compile it myself...

Once .NET MF 4.2 (final version) ships, we can build a few special builds of it with various features. That should be sometime in late August or September.

Hi Chris,

Since the .NET MF 4.2 final version is taking so long and still no estimate on a release date. Would it be possible for you to do a Netduino Plus firmware build with Coreys SimpleNGen using the .NET MF 4.1-based version? You have previously made a build for the regular (not Plus) Netduino a long time ago.

We have been waiting for the Plus version since July last year and really need to get on with our project. We need SD-card and network access.

Hope you will be able to build a version.

Thanks.

Hi Chris, Have you had any time to look at my post above?

Hi Chris, Me again :) Please have you had any time to look at my last post? I would really like a Plus firmware version with Coreys SimpleNGen - if possible. Thanks.

Hi Klop, We're all tied up getting bugs squashed for the upcoming .NET MF 4.2 firmware right now, but we'll revisit this once it goes RTM. [Unfortunately, space is extremely tight on the Netduino Plus...so it's quite the job to fit anything new in... It'll be a bit of a project to pull together a custom build with Corey's work, but we'll be happy to see what we can do.] Chris

Hi Chris,

Yeah I know the new firmware is a top priority. But when it's done we really hope you will be able to fit the SimpleNgen in as well.

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

I just got into some netduino plus 2 programming and looks like I have a need for this functionality. I am trying to drive an led matrix display (16 x 32) and I believe I am running into some IO speed issues.

 

What is the status of this project? Have the necessary pieces been introduced in the 4.2 firmware? I am trying out the sample and I am getting a System.NotSupportedException when running the compiled code.

 

Thanks

Nic

 

...and special thanks to Corey for all the hard work.

I feel like this project is incredibly important.  Users NEED to be able to bitbang, etc. so they can re-use code from other platforms.  Currently it seems like I'm modifying my firmware more and more because netMF can't keep up with my performance requirements.  

 

Please crowd source this into a real thing.  Where do I send my money?

Gosh, this would be fun to work on. I'm sorry to say that the real-world demands of my job have kept me away from Netduino hacking for a couple of years now. I wish I had a better answer for you :-(

Hi guys,

 

Will this help us in any way?

 

Microsoft open sources more of its .Net technologies

Hi guys,

 

I also have a project where I need high throughput on IO pins and bit-banging seems like the answer (). Before I was even aware this would be the solution, I got a Plus 2.

 

Is there any progress towards a 4.2 (Plus 2) firmware to support this library? Or have I missed something posted elsewhere?

Thx, 

Andy
