Building a robot with the .Net Micro Framework
This document summarizes information about building a robot using the .NET Micro Framework (NetMF). It discusses NetMF features like using Visual Studio as an IDE and programming in C#. It also reviews some NetMF compatible hardware options and provides an example of building a tank bot robot with components like a FEZ Panda II mainboard, motors, sensors and more. Code examples are provided for using digital I/O, interrupts, analog I/O and other NetMF features to control the robot.

- 2. NetMF • Open SourcePlatform for small embedded applications • Runs on devices with a 32-bit processor and as little as 64K RAM • Provides the efficiency of creating and maintaining devices in managed code
- 3. Why NetMF? • Use Visual Studio as the IDE • Program in C# • Same code runs on any NetMF device with minimal changes • Full debugging capabilities – Emulator – Breakpoints – Stepping – Variables – Stack Traces • Includes many bus drivers • Managed Code with Garbage Collection
- 4. What about Arduino? •Open Source Platform for electronics prototyping • Uses the Arduino programming language (C++ based) and Arduino IDE. • Benefits – Inexpensive – Cross-Platform Software – Nice IDE – Open Source and Extensible Software (C++ or AVR-C) – Open Source and Extensible Hardware (ATMEGA8/168)
- 5. NetMF Hardware -Netduino • Pro – Atmel ARM7 • Go – STMicro Cortex- 48MHz 128KB Flash M4 168MHz 384KB 60KB RAM Flash 100KB RAM
- 6. NetMF Harware -GHI • FEZ Spider – EMX ARM7 72MHz • FEZ Cerberus/Cerbuino/Cerb40 – 3000KB Flash 12000KB RAM OSHW Cortex-M4 168MHz 300KB Flash 112KB RAM • Fez Hydra – OSHW ARM9 240MHz 3000KB Flash 12000KB • FEZ Panda II - USBizi-100 ARM7 RAM 72MHz 148KB Flash 62KB RAM
- 7. Arduino Compatible vsGadgeteer • Compatible with • Sockets over Pins Arduino shields • Modules are pre-built • Pins over Sockets • Not all boards have all • Easy to prototype with socket types breadboards and • Usually have more breakout boards powerful processors • More flexible for electronics projects
