.NET Micro Framework

Today's Hardware Friday post takes three of our favorite hardware things and show us how we can make them work together. Really, what's more more fun then a series that helps us build hardware and write code that let's Netduino, the .Net Micro Framework talk to Lego's!Using netduino and .NET…

Today's Hardware Friday is a triple dose of .NET Micro Framework and .NET Gadgeteer getting started, into, kicked off, hooked, what are they and getting started posts.From a slide deck and great link round-up my Pete Brown, to watching him geek out for an hour to a getting started with FEZ Hydra…

Today's Hardware Friday post is in an area that I've not cover much, making music with .Net Gadgeteer projects using one of the older digital interfaces around, MIDI.Gadgeteer and MIDI: Making Music with MicrocontrollersAt the end of what's been a kind of tough week, with a spring cold making its…

For our Hardware Friday we're going to mix in some Bluetooth and WPF in our .Net Gadgeteer world...Controlling a Gadgeteer device using Bluetooth Module and 32feet.NET libraryIn this post, I’ll show how to send messages to a GHI Bluetooth module from a PC application using the 32feet .NET…

Our Hardware Friday post in this game theme week combines a couple of fun things, .Net Gadgeteer hardware and a RPG game (well the start of one at least). It also shows off a couple thing projects mentioned here in past posts, Gliding into a .Net Micro Framework UI design with GLIDE and Along came a…

Today's Hardware Friday post shows off an interesting usage of an accelerometer and one that for many of use would not only proudly display our hardware building geekness, but also improve our health too!Posture Regulator using .NET Gadgeteer Accelerometer from Seeed StudioPeople who work in…

Demonstration of my latest Gadgeteer project, a simple 8-step one-octave arpeggiator using Pete Brown's MIDI Module to drive a MeeBlip micro synthesizer.Full source code is available at http://sdrv.ms/MeeBlipiatorSrc (MS-PL)Detailed blog post…

I dig the idea of how "teachable" .NET Gadgeteer development can be. They let the students and teachers focus on bigger picture of creation and not the minutiae (which is important, but...).So when I saw this, while there's no Solutions or direct code to download, I still thought this a…

So you have your .Net Micro Framework device. You want to give it a UI that people are used to, one with buttons, progress bars, grids, etc. You don't want to do all the basic grunt UI drawing yourself, and wish there was some kind of UI design tool available, preferably a free, though maybe GPL,…

While the thought of a cube farm filled with talking computers is the stuff of nightmares for many (well for me anyway, there's enough chatter already, and to add to it every PC verbally chatting away too? AHHHhhhh... lol), building speech capabilities into our hardware projects is something many of…
