Hey, this is my first robot expericne. I was unable to get this Netduino that I just bought to work at home, but I was able to make my own app and install it from my work computer.I tried to follow these instructions below to reset things, but it does not ask me confirmation on the erase. Also, I do not think the ping is working. The ping and erase both seem to lockup the app. I do see the NetDuino in the combo box after a couple of seconds of plugging it in. I made sure that the Visual Studio was closed before I attempted. I re-booted computer as well. I also tried selecting a differnt option in the project file and then re-seleting the NetDuino (I am not sure the best order to do this, do I hit the save button?)

These are the instructions I tried to follow to erase:

1- Press and hold the push button on the netduino for the whole procedure (leave it pushed at all times)
2- Plug the USB to the computer
3- You should see the combobox in MFDeploy.exe contain your usb port
4- Press as fast as you can the "erase" button on MFDeploy.exe
5- You can now release the push button on the netduino

I am running XP SP3. It gets stuck on

Hi rex64, Are you running the regular production 4.1.0.6 firmware or the 4.2 beta firmware? I think that your post got submitted just before you were able to finish it. What part of the process does your Windows XP machine get stuck on? Chris

I do not know how to check, but I would assume that it is NOT beta (I have not updated it). MS VS 2010 C# gets stuck on "preparing to deploy assemblies to the device"

Hi rex64, A few diagnostics questions... If you press the reset button on your Netduino, does that let deployment proceed on your Windows XP machine? If not, what happens if you unplug and reattach your Netduino? Chris

I told VS to start debugging. It gets stuck on 'preparing to deploy assemblies to the device'. When I press the reset button the program I wrote at work is running. When I unplug the usb and re-attach the 3 network lights, blue light, and white light turn on. Then the network lights go out then the blue light goes out (and white stays on). I can press the button at any time and i get the blinky light I programmed at work. I want this to work at home

After a while I get this error: Error 1 Unable to communicate with device - USB:NetduinoPlus

Hi rex64, Just to confirm... If you load up MFDeploy, select your Netduino, and press PING...what response do you get from your device? If it says "Pinging...TinyCLR" then that means that the driver and communication is working fine. In that case, close MFDeploy and start up Visual Studio. Select Project Properties, and then go to the .NET MF Deployment tab. Finally, change the transport from "USB" to "Serial" and then back again. Save, and try to run your app. Then please let me know if that works

unplug netduino from usb
let the deploy fail in VS
plug in usb
wait 15 seconds for it to boot
redeploy from VS
be patient // it can take a full minute to deploy and debug

Above often needed on win7....

You're right, that worked for me!

Leave Visual Studio open, and do everything he posted above. When unplugging, let it fail and leave VS open, plug it back in and hit Debug - BAM, just a few seconds and its debugging.

Thanks!
