Netduino is an open-source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework. Featuring a 32-bit STM32F405RG microcontroller and a rich development environment, it is suitable for engineers and hobbyists alike. With Netduino, the world of microcontroller programming is at your fingertips. Netduino is designed to enable both personal projects and sophisticated commercial endeavors. This Netduino GO! has four times the speed, six times the code space, and twice the available RAM of any other Netduino. It features eight 2×5-pin headers with 0.05" pitch for adding plug-and-play expansion modules. Two ribbon cables are included: one 5 cm long and one 10 cm long. As well as Netduino-specific GO!Bus modules, you also can use up to two Microsoft .NET Gadgeteer S/U/X modules (one Gadgeteer module may use up an entire "channel", leaving four GO!Bus sockets available, as the eight sockets are distributed between two channels). Netduino GO! Features Virtualized I/O — You simply pick what you need and plug it in. Each expansion module has its own MCU that works with the main board. STM8S and STM32F are good choices to use if you want to design your own module. Code. Debug. Repeat. — .NET Micro Framework combines the ease of high-level coding and the features of microcontrollers. Enjoy event-based programming, multi-threading, line-by-line debugging, breakpoints and more. Design files included. — Netduino is an open-source electronics platform. Design files and source code are included. Learn from the designs. Remix. Enjoy the freedom of open source. Very expandable. — Official and third-party accessories offer pre-built functionality like LED, Potentiometer, Button, Buzzer, Displays, Relays. An adapter for Arduino shields is available too.
