This manual covers the Netduino, an open-source hardware platform designed for makers and hobbyists. It facilitates the creation of electronic projects, including networked devices that communicate via TCP/IP, by combining .NET programming with microcontroller capabilities. The platform is engineered for ease of use, allowing individuals to experiment and build their own custom electronic devices.
The purpose of this manual is to provide comprehensive guidance for users of the Netduino. It details the installation of necessary software, including Visual Studio Express, the .NET Micro Framework, and the Netduino SDK. Through a series of projects, users will learn fundamental techniques such as controlling LEDs, expanding functionality with expansion shields, measuring inputs, utilizing Pulse Width Modulation, and creating web-controlled applications. The manual serves as a resource for both electronics beginners and programmers looking to engage with microcontrollers.
Start building electronics projects with Netduino, the popular open source hardware platform that’s captured the imagination of makers and hobbyists worldwide. This easy-to-follow book provides the step-by-step guidance you need to experiment with Netduino and the .NET Micro Framework.
Through a set of simple projects, you’ll learn how to create electronic gadgets—including networked devices that communicate over TCP/IP. Along the way, hobbyists will pick up the basics of .NET programming, and programmers will discover how to work with electronics and microcontrollers. Follow the projects in sequence and learn techniques for building your own Netduino-based devices.
- Get an overview of the Netduino microcontroller family
- Install the free Visual Studio Express, .NET Micro Framework, and Netduino SDK
- Write code that lets you turn Netduino’s LED on and off
- Learn how to increase Netduino’s capabilities with various expansion shields
- Measure digital and analog inputs with MakerShield
- Make a light appear dimmer or brighter with Pulse Width Modulation
- Use electrical pulses to play a song and control the position of a servo motor
- Create an app to control your Netduino over the Web
