Here are some of the topics we covered in our conversation:

00:00:37 EMIC Overview

00:01:30 Overview of sensor network projects (EMERGE and WASP)
00:01:55 Sensor network description
00:03:00 EMERGE project (elderly home care)

  • 00:04:25 Description of the EMERGE sensor network
  • 00:08:10 Application that displays collected data
  • 00:08:30 Use of Decentralized Software Services Protocol (DSSP) and the .NET Micro Framework
  • 00:09:35 Displaying raw signals from the pressure foil
  • 00:10:25 Consolidated data showing sleep activity
  • 00:13:14 Using live data

00:16:40 Sensor network development challenges

00:18:29 Sensor network architecture approach

00:22:15 WASP project (applying sensor networks to detect limping cows )

The .NET Micro Framework provides (among other things) a managed execution environment with automatic memory management, a substantial subset of the .NET Base Class Library and a managed driver model – all within an amazingly compact footprint of around a few hundred kilobytes. And its TCP/IP and Web Services for devices functionality make the .NET Micro Framework a great platform for building smart, connected, service-oriented devices!

In this video, Jonathan Kagle (Group Program Manager) and Lorenzo Tessiore (Development Manager) tell us about the work they've been doing on the .NET Micro Framework. Our conversation covers: origins of the .NET Micro Framework, available development kits (00:10:24), devices that are running it (00:13:07), what it looks like to write code for it (00:17:30), and about the upcoming 3.0 release (00:24:50).

Update: The .NET Micro Framework 3.0 Release Candidate 0 is now available.
