GHI boards and NETMF rock.
I have a small one off project to port an old ZWorld Little PLC Dynamic C code to NETMF and used a Cerbuino Bee with two RS458 interface modules. The Little PLC based design is 17 years old according to the header (I wrote that code back in 1998)
After 2 hours work I have it receiving the input and decoding the serial data from a gyro compass and then transmitting the different protocol on another serial port. All NETMF code from scratch. Native NETMF too, not Gadgeteer.
:dance:

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Do you remember how long the original code took you to develop?
Yes, it was about 3 days for the original coding and then about 1 day testing and debugging with the hardware.
Dynamic C at the time, although a little strange in its ways, was the first I worked with that could do in circuit debugging via a serial port. A bit slow to compile and in the early days it needed the target connected to do so but we build a large number of designs around their boards and many are still in use to this day.
