As Windows 8 uses Hyper-V rather than Virtual PC there are some issues with running the Compact 7 VPC. I can get the VPC to boot and download a targeted image for Visual Studio/Platform Builder.

This morning was officially released on Netduino Plus 2, a board that replaces the Netduino Plus, but above all adds much more power from all points of view. In my previous article (on Italian blog) I had already talked about the Netduino Plus and at this point it is time to understand the differences with the new version .... that I am not a few! Microprocessor and memory The microprocessor is completely different from that of its predecessor, in fact it is a STM32F4 (from STMicroelectronics) based on architecture Cortex-M4 to 168Mhz in place of an Atmel ARM7 to 48 Mhz. The jump of memory is amazing! The micro has at its disposal no less than 1 MB of flash memory (double the all'Atmel!) And 192 KB of RAM. Obviously, not all at our disposal but the quantity for user applications is significant: 384 KB of flash (compared to 64 KB) to 100 KB of RAM (compared to 28 KB). Input and Output The board is compatible with the rev. C of Arduino, which provides for 22 GPIO pins (against the previous 20) of which a part ...

Those who follow my blog know that last month, my library
uPLibrary dedicated to. NET Micro Framework has been extended with a
client for the
ThingSpeak platform for the Internet of Things. Today I was surprised to see my project referenced in the tutorials that just ThingSpeak offers on the site to push the use of its system of IoT!

One of the main new features of version 4.2 of the. NET Micro Framework is the support for the analog inputs with the introduction of class
AnalogInput (namespace Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware). Until this version, each producer board that carried out the porting of the framework on it, introduced in its SDK a custom class for the management of these inputs. In particular, also the SecretLabs, producer of Netduino, provides the class AnalogInput (in the namespace SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware) with version 4.1 and that presents some difference than is currently introduced into the new version. Thanks to this innovation, the developer can work with the same class of more different board without having to adapt from time to time to the specific implementation by the manufacturer thereof.
