Adafruit Netduino (.NET-programmable microcontroller)

Netduino, an open source electronics platform utilizing the .NET Micro Framework, brings to life the possibilities of creative electronic projects. Featuring a 32-bit microcontroller and robust development environment, it offers unparalleled flexibility.

With 20 GPIO pins and versatile interfaces like SPI, I2C, 2 UARTs (1 RTS/CTS), alongside 4 PWM channels and 6 ADC channels, this platform makes interfacing with various components seamless. From LEDs to sensors, almost anything can be integrated smoothly.

The .NET Micro Framework allows developers to experience the best of both worlds: high-level coding ease with the raw functionality of microcontrollers. Benefit from advanced features like event-based programming, multi-threading, and precise debugging with breakpoints.

Cross-platform expansion is enabled as Netduino supports Linux and Mac using the open source Mono framework. Its pin-compatibility with Arduino shields opens doors to endless enhancements with third-party accessories such as GPS modules and servo controls. Note that some Arduino shields may require third-party drivers.

All design files and source code are open source, promoting a culture of learning and remixing. This platform also includes a free microUSB cable and rubber bumpers. Explore advanced possibilities and craftsmanship with Netduino.
