    The Netduino guys have implemented .NET in an embedded environement.

    So, I guess then being from Microsoft, it will be just like Arduino in that all the software *and* all the hardware designs are open source, so anybody can make and sell the hardware if they feel like it. Right? And people can take the hardware designs and modify them to make special purpose version, and be able to release updates to the software tool chain to support the new hardware?

    The .NET Micro Framework is Apache licensed. If you're looking for an open hardware design around it, I'd start with the Netduino.

    Meh, for $120 this thing is probably in trouble anyways. Though that's a shame, more stuff is always better.

    And lets remember, there's already an arduino for "people who've drunk the .net koolaid". The Netduino has been around for a long time. And it's $35.

  4. Heard of the Netduino? by TheNucleon · · Score: 1 · on .NET Gadgeteer — Microsoft's Arduino Killer?

    Has no one heard of the Netduino - it's been out for a quite a while. Arduino-like, and programmed with .NET Micro Framework:

    I really like the Netduino. I find it to be affordable, arduino shield compatible, and write the code with C#.

  6. Re:Standard modus operandi by godefroi · · Score: 1 · on The Longhorn Dream Reborn

    It's funny you say that as I've always saw that as the Catch-22 of the .NET framework and why Java doesn't see as much widespread use on client systems. A major point of the .NET framework was precisely that it was a clean-slate, well designed system that could run on many platforms. In effect, .NET framework (like Java) became the platform and the major task to consider for the client was whether they could reasonably run that platform on the various hardware they had, be it a low-power (cpu and battery life) netbook or smartphone or a high end server.

    You know that C#/.NET (as well as Java) run on some pretty tightly constrained hardware platforms, right?

  7. Netduino by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on ARM-Based Arduino Competitor At SparkFun

    I would also consider Netduino. It's a bit cheaper and, like the Maple, it is probably capable of doing a lot of the things you're thinking of doing if you feel Arduino is holding your hobby project back. It uses the .NET Micro Framework.

    Wait, is this Slashdot?

    There's one more variant: Netduino Plus that will let you run .Net embedded code, connect to ethernet and use SD Micro storage.

    Dotnet micro is under the apache 2.0 license.

    Fully open source under a certified license.

    What are you complaining about?

    The toolchain is far from open.

    http://www.netduino.com/netduinoplus/specs.htm Secret Labs is launching its .NET-friendly Netduino Plus, which adds Ethernet and microSD to a regular Netduino board (which in itself is a sort of high powered, Visual Studio-compatible Arduino, with a 32-bit 48MHz ARM7 processor, instead of Arduino's 8-bit number, but pin compatible with Arduino "shields").
