I'm an Ardunio user and curious about this new netduino. I am wondering about any plans to release Netduino services for Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. My .net skills and time/patience are not sufficient to write the services myself. If the world of MSRDS were interfaced to the world of Arduino via netduino/MSRDS Services in an easy way (just install components) I would buy a netduino today.
Hi Bezee,
We seeded the fine folks at helloapps.com with some Netduino hardware. They've built a scripting engine for Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio that support .NET Micro Framework. Their support assemblies are quite large, so we're working with them to either slim down the assemblies or remove a few unused features from the Netduino (FileSystem support perhaps). In the latter case, users would reflash their Netduino and they'd have over 200KB of Flash available for their programs.
Anyway, we're hoping to see lots of activity around Netduino and Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. Lots of cool possibilities!
Thank you very much for your interest in Netduino,
Chris

As far I know, there's no convenience to fit MSRS to Netduino, since the CCR and DSS are going to be obsolete with the C# 5 leverage.
That's I read somewhere not a long ago.
Cheers
Can you clarify please. This makes no sense to me.

CCR and DSS are two fundamental parts of the Robotics framework, that manage the threading and the communication between components.
Read better here:
http://msdn.microsof...y/bb905470.aspx
and here:
http://msdn.microsof...y/bb905471.aspx
This is not the exact article that I've read, but I think it's the same:
http://www.zdnet.com...it-for-you/6303
IMHO, it has no sense that MS will use a different approach to multitasking and communication on MSRS, than the rest of its edge production.
.Net 4 bring to us the Parallel Extensions, C# 5 will simplify the asynchronous coding, WCF is a well-known foundation for the communication. If you add the Workflow foundation, then you'll have the new version of the Robotics Studio.
Why having a different platform, instead of migrate MSRS toward an unification?
At "no cost" you will have -of sure- an integration with Azure ecosystem and stuffs like that.
Just imagine the scene: your brand-new Lego-robot recognizing you cat that is stealing the roasted turkey, so that an email will be sent to your handy phone!...Isn't amazing?...
Bah!...
I've considered for a very short time to use MSRS with Netduino, but it was almost impossible and without any convenience by trying the porting.
I *REALLY* hope that the next Micro Framework edition will enable Netduino-like devices with C# 5 and Workflows.
Cheers

From my *honest* viewpoint, I strongly encourage to evaluate the Net MF, but I'm afraid also.
We have a five year plan. .NET MF is celebrating its 7th year. .NET Compact Framework 3.7 also doesn't get a lot of the new desktop-style features, but it has a long life ahead of it too.
I wouldn't worry too much...remember, .NET Micro Framework is Apache 2.0 open source--so the only reason it would die is if its users abandoned it. In the last seven months, its adoption has really picked up.
