HI ,
I am a biginner with .NETMICROFRAMEWORK. My project is a robot commanded with STM32F4 able to make voice and facial recognition.I know that the usual .NET is an efficient tool for this technologie but before i start i gave a look at .NET Gadgeteer.My quetions are :
1-Can i use the libraries and the namespaces of the classical .NET with stm32F4 while using .NETMICROFRAMEWORK??
2-Are the .NET Gadgeteer classes usefull with STM32F4 ???
Thanks for help
Welcome to the forum.
- The Micro Framework uses a small subset of the full .NET namespaces. When there is a matching namespace, the number of classes and methods are usually reduced in MF.
- Gadgeteer is useful for doing prototypes with minimal wiring when using the Gadgeteer modules. You will have to determine if this helps you. The Gadgeteer software layer I suspect will do little for you.
Doing voice and facial recognition requires processor power. Doing this processing in managed code (C# or VB) is going to be too slow for most applications of this type. This is a bit more difficult that using managed code.
It is possible to native c++ programming in conjunction with managed code.
@ Mike -
Thanks Mike for answering.So you are advicing me to switch to the usual solution using STM32F4 codes ???
I guess I am.
You have a project which would be a challenge for someone who is experienced with the Micro Framework. I see no advantage to learning MF for this project.
Having said that, MF is a great environment to use with an appropriate application. But, performance is a challenge with MF. The managed code is interpreted not compiled.
