Hi all,
When I attempt to add any of the following modules into the designer, I receive the following message, any ideas? I’ve tried reinstalling everything.
[quote]The module could not be added:
Ethernet_J11D
UsbHost
WiFi_RS21
Camera
CAN_DW
Obviously I’m not trying to use all these at the same time xD!
Can you please tell what did you install and in what order?
Steps in this order:

I do have Win8 installed, but I would imagine it should be all or nothing if that was the problem
I’d start by uninstalling all NETMF, Gadgeteer, & GHI bits and reinstalling. Sounds like your install had a problem.
Uninstalling\installing the Gadgeteer Core did the trick, I missed this during when doing it the first time, thanks for your replies guys.
I’m having the exact same issue with the UsbHost module, I looked at the GadgeteerHardware.xml and it was significantly different from any of the other modules. So I changed the xml to more closely match the RS232 module.
Here’s the original: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><GadgeteerDefinitions xmlns="http://sch - Pastebin.com
Here’s what I changed it to:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><GadgeteerDefinitions xmlns="http://sch - Pastebin.com
It seems to be working now, the lines that caused the issue were:
<!-- If your module relies on another assembly, then list it here (and see the msm.wxs file since you need to include it in the installer too), e.g.: -->

I downloaded the files this morning and tried uninstalling and re-installing. It looks like the install files were modified on the 14th but the change log indicates no updates. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
I kinda spoke to soon, I had quickly created a project to see if I could add those elements to the designer, which worked, but then “using Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics;” produced:
After mucking about, I uninstalled everything again, installed again, and my original problem happened again. So, I re-installed the old 4.1 MS\GHI SDK.
Also, should this http://www.ghielectronics.com/support/dotnet-micro-framework really be pointing to a beta version?
the link points to both the 4.1 and 4.2 sdks
You sure? It says RC2
Install both steps 3 and 4 then you can use 4.1, non beta.
I have the same problems using FEZ Spider with NETMF 4.2, but only with the following modules:
Ethernet_J11D
WiFi_RS21
Other modules could be added without problems. I have not installed “GHI NETMF v4.1 and .NET Gadgeteer Package Sep. 14, 2012” (step 4), since I have installed only “Microsoft .NET Micro Framework 4.2 QFE2 SDK”. Looking at the “GadgeteerHardware.xml”, for Ethernet_J11D and WiFi_RS21, both of the modules mention “GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net” as required assembly:
<ExtraLibrariesRequired>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
</ExtraLibrariesRequired>
However, I could not find it. Interestingly, other modules, e.g. “Camera” refer to “.Premium.” assemblies for NETMF 4.2, but stays with “.NETMF.” for 4.1:
<ExtraLibrariesRequired>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.Hardware" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.IO" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.System" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.USBHost" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHI.Premium.Hardware" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHI.Premium.IO" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHI.Premium.System" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHI.Premium.USBHost" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
</ExtraLibrariesRequired>
Shall I install step 4 and use NETMF 4.1 only?
see this forum link the same thing.
the j11 module does not require adding to the project
Commenting out references to required libraries in the “GadgeteerHardware.xml” for Ethernet_J11D module made the trick:
<!-- Use the ExtraLibrariesRequired element if this module requires specific firmware libraries to be provided by the mainboard, and so is limited to a subset of mainboards. -->
<ExtraLibrariesRequired>
<Assembly MFVersion="4.1" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/>
[b] <!-- [/b] <Assembly MFVersion="4.2" Name="GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net" ErrorMessage="A required library could not be found."/> [b]-->[/b]
</ExtraLibrariesRequired>
Etherner_J11D module could be added in the designer, networking example (GHI Electronics – Where Hardware Meets Software) compiled and ran without problems:
OR, like was suggested, just don’t add it to the designer surface.
I have the same problem as the started of this trhread, but only with premium indicated devices…
then did you do what fixed this for the person who posted the thread?
[quote]I’d start by uninstalling all NETMF, Gadgeteer, & GHI bits and reinstalling. Sounds like your install had a problem.[/quote] Remember the order is important
Yes I did so, but stil no result…
@ freeck - what board are you using?
Cerbuino Bee
@ freeck - that’s not a premium board so those premium modules won’t work on the bee
