Playing with Mountaineer Ethernet Mainboard
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers, REST Web Services on October 1, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva In these days I’m making some tests with Ethernet Mainboard, a Gadgeteer compatibile mainboard that is produced by the Mountaineer Group. Here it is the main characteristics of the mainboard, as described at http://www.mountaineer-boards.com/home/ethernet-mainboard: “Red mainboard” powered via USB 168 MHz STM32F407 microcontroller with 192 KB RAM and 1 MB on-chip Flash 8 […]
Gadgeteer Home Automation System
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on September 17, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva In this post I want to describe how to create a Home Automation System that puts together many of the modules and source code we talked about on this blog during the past months. In particular, we’ll create a Gadgeteer device that uses touch screen capabilities of Display T35 to provide access […]

Using voice commands to control a servo
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on August 3, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva I’m very interested in combining .NET Gadgeteer devices with other techonologies. In this post I’ll show how to use the Microsft Speech Platform to recognize speech and send commands to control a servo. Let’s start with the Gadgeteer device. We’ll use the HiTec HS-311 servo, the same that has been described […]
Creating an UDP Server with .NET Gadgeteer
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on July 23, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva Some time ago, we presented a simple TCP Server for .NET Gadgeteer, that has been used in many other projects. Today, we’ll see how to create another kind of server, based on UDP protocol. Its behavior is similar to the one of our TCP Server, but it is simpler because with UDP we don’t have to take […]
Wi-Fi Gadgeteer Robot controlled by Windows Phone with image streaming
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on July 10, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva I have updagred the .NET Gadgeteer Robot I described in the post Constructing a Bluetooth controlled Robot, replacing the Bluetooth Module with Wi-Fi and adding a camera to stream images. The result is a Robot that can be controlled by a Windows Phone application, with which it is also possible to show […]
Controlling a Light Switch using Windows Phone
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers, REST Web Services on July 5, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva In this post, I’ll show how to control a Relay module using a Windows Phone app that is able to remotely turn on or off a light. (See also: Voice controlled home automation using Arduino) Let’s start creating a new Gadgeteer application. Connect the following modules to a FEZ Spider Mainboard: USB ClientDP; WiFi […]
Connessioni XBee con device .NET Gadgeteer (Italiano)
Posted by Marco Minerva in Articoli in Italiano, Embedded Microcontrollers, REST Web Services on July 5, 2012
By Mike Dodaro, translated by Marco Minerva from the original English version Le schede XBee hanno un costo estramamente contenuto e possono essere integrate in qualsiasi tipo di device. Il loro raggio di funzionamento supera quello delle connessioni Bluetooth. L’articolo Zigbee Networking with XBee Series 2 and Seeed’s Products fornisce una rapida introduzione alle funzionalità di XBee. Il libro di Robert Faludi intitolato Building Wireless […]

Utilizzare Mayhem con .NET Gadgeteer (Italiano)
Posted by Marco Minerva in Articoli in Italiano, Embedded Microcontrollers on June 29, 2012
By Mike Dodaro, translated by Marco Minerva from the original English version Mayhem è un’applicazione open source che supporta trigger, eventi e azioni. Il cuore del sistema Mayhem è in esecuzione su un PC, ma gli eventi e le azioni che utilizza possono essere usati praticamente con ogni piattaforma e device. Gli sviluppatori di Mayhem dicono che anche chi non è […]

Making Mayhem with .NET Gadgeteer
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers on June 21, 2012
Mayhem is an open source application that supports triggers, events, and reactions. The core Mayhem application runs on a PC, but the events and reactions it uses are interoperable with just about any platform or device. The guys making Mayhem say that non-programmers can use it to automate anything! This seems an invitation to try Mayhem with .NET Gadgeteer. Here’s a screen shot […]

XBee Control of .NET Gadgeteer Robot
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers on June 8, 2012
The code in this brief example is part of an investigation into bandwidth and latency of XBee radios used for remote control. I’d be interested in any other experiments with XBees. If you have something, we can discuss a guest post. There are several versions of this robot now. The original by Eduardo Velloso uses light sensors and can be controlled […]
Constructing a Bluetooth controlled Robot
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on May 19, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva In this post, I’ll show how to construct a robot with .NET Gadgeteer and how to control it using a Bluetooth connection from a PC application based on the 32feet.NET library. Let’s start from .NET Gadgeteer part. The base of our robot is the Rover 5 Tank Chassis, that provides two […]
.NET Gadgeteer Bluetooth to Control Relay Circuits
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers on May 7, 2012
Here is a simple adaptation of Marco Minerva’s previous example: Controlling a Gadgeteer device using Bluetooth Module and 32feet.NET library. This application uses the GHI Electronics Bluetooth Module to control the relays on a Seeed Relay Module. You can use this scenario to turn on lights, start a motor, or start or stop any electrical […]

XBee Radios in .NET Gadgeteer Devices
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers, REST Web Services on April 27, 2012
XBee radios are inexpensive and they can be embedded in all kinds of devices. XBees can be networked so that a failure of one radio does not impar communication between and among others in the network. Their range exceeds that of Bluetooth connections. The article Zigbee Networking with XBee Series 2 and Seeed’s Products provides a quick overview of XBee […]

Controlling a Gadgeteer device using Bluetooth Module and 32feet.NET library
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on April 21, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva In this post, I’ll show how to send messages to a GHI Bluetooth module from a PC application using the 32feet .NET library. First of all, let’s create the Gadgeteer application. Connect an USB ClientDP and an OLED Display to a FEZ Spider Mainboard, as in the following screenshot. .NET Gadgeteer […]
Mind Control of .NET Gadgeteer Device via Neurosky EEG Sensor
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers, REST Web Services on April 18, 2012
This experiment leaves much to the imagination, but it does demonstrate how wave forms of the human brain can determine events on a device with an embedded microcontroller. This code scenario is submitted for use in the Open Health and Fitness Data Aggregator project headed by Ira Laefsky. The Neurosky Mind Wave sensor is an economical electroencephalograph designed for extensibility with other applications. For less […]

Eduardo Velloso completes Beta Driver for .NET Gadgeteer Bluetooth Module
Posted by Michael Dodaro in Embedded Microcontrollers on April 3, 2012
Since the Bluetooth Module was released by GHI Electronics there have been numerous users who have found it difficult. The starter driver was rudimentary. Windows and other devices could not discover it or connect to it unless a developer who knew a lot about Bluetooth protocols implemented the Gadgeteer device. The references available were manufacturer specifications. GHI Electronics invited the community to […]
Saving settings to XML Configuration Files
Posted by Marco Minerva in Embedded Microcontrollers on March 25, 2012
Posted by Marco Minerva Some times ago I published a class that allows to read XML Configurtion Files (.config) in the standard .NET format. Now, I am asked how to change and save these settings back to file. So, I have updated the ConfigurationManager class to support these new features. There are two new methods: […]
