TIL about Netduino/Plus

TIL about Netduino and Netduino Plus, an alternative/improved version of the Arduino...

Netduino is an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework (not Microsoft .NET). Featuring a 32-bit microcontroller and a rich development environment.

Interface with switches, sensors, LEDs, serial devices, and more.

Offers 20 GPIOs combined with SPI, I2C, 2 UARTs (1 RTS/CTS), 4 PWM channels and 6 ADC channels.

.NET Micro Framework combines the ease of high-level coding and the raw features of microcontrollers. Enjoy event-based programming, multi-threading, line-by-line debugging, breakpoints and more.

3rd-party accessories offer pre-built functionality like GPS location, servo control and battery power. Netduino is also pin-compatible with Arduino shields.

Netduino is an open source electronics platform. All design files and source code are included.


Netduino Plus

Netduino Plus includes all hardware features of the Netduino, plus MicroSD storage capabilities and an Ethernet jack for fast integrated IP networking.


Sounds pretty good. I'd like to get the Plus version to try it out.
