I have ordered the board, so I will be able to do some tests in the next few weeks. I will tell you how it is going.

For those who might be interested, we now have a web site : http://www.mikrobusnet.org

It contains source code, tutos and templates to start using Click boards with NETMF. If you have Click boards, you can even help by coding drivers (there are templates for this).

@ Bec a Fuel - Congratulations! This is a great product. Looking forward to more great boards to come.

P.S. Couldnā€™t register on your forumā€¦ I canā€™t seem to get past the captcha input, the error message is in French!

@ Bec a Fuel - I have some click board ADC, DAC and eth ā€¦ I must check

45

Thank you for your support ! But donā€™t forget that Iā€™m not the only one involved in this project

ADC and DAC drivers are already doneā€¦ Too late :wink:

@ Bec a Fuel - are there modules you want built for this? Waiting for OSH 2 weeks at a time (especially when you made mistake) means time for research and other designs.

I understand this is build on an existing system with modules on place already.

47

@ mhectorgato : I hope I understand correctly what you sayā€¦

What I understand is that you are proposing to built Click boards, arenā€™t you ? If so, then any module not already present in the (huge) list of MikroElektronika is welcome, of course. ( Click Boards - MIKROE )

Quite the selection!

While waiting for your module ( :wink: ), Iā€™ve added two more drivers : DCMotor and Thunder.

You can see them in action on http://www.mikrobusnet.org . Source code is available on the NETMF drivers page.

I also wish to thank the users that have joined us to help coding drivers :clap: It is very motivating for us !

Hello,

2 new drivers have been added : DCMotor and nRF-C :

The DC motor used here has a 231:1 gearbox, hence the relatively small speed, even at 100% PWM :wink:

In this video, the Dalmatian board (white PCB) is sending the text ā€œIteration Nā€ with N increasing by 1 every 2 seconds.
The Quail board is acting as the receiver and is only displaying the received text.

Code for the receiver is quite simple :

using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using MikroBusNet;

namespace Examples
{
    public partial class Program
    {
        public static void StartReceiver()
        {
            nrf.Configure(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("RCVR"), 1, NRFC.DataRate.DR250kbps);
            nrf.OnDataReceived += nrf_OnDataReceived;
            nrf.Enable();
        }

        private static void nrf_OnDataReceived(byte[] data)
        {
            Debug.Print("Received : "+ new string(Encoding.UTF8.GetChars(data)));
        }
    }
}

For the nRF-C driver, I would like to say a BIG thank you to [em]Gralin[/em] for his driver (available on Codeplex : http://nrf24l01.codeplex.com/ ) :clap:
It only needed a few cosmetic changes to conform to our driversā€™ scheme and it worked like a charm on the first try !

As usual, source codes are available on the site : http://www.mikrobusnet.org
