James Montemagno discusses building robots using Netduino, which runs on the .NET Micro Framework and allows coding in C#. The document outlines the necessary installations and interactions with Netduino hardware components, including sensors and motors, while also introducing a micro stack for reactive programming. Resources for further learning and code examples are provided for developers interested in robotics with C#.
C# Powered Robots, C# Powered Mobile Apps
- 2. The World of Robots!
- 3. We are going to build this!
- 4. Programing Said Robots • Arduino – Runs Arduino Software – Code in C/C++ – IDE: open-source Ardunio Software IDE • Windows/OS X/Linux • Netduino – Compatible with Arduino Hardware Ecosystem – Much more powerful – Runs Netduino Software – .NET Micro Framework!!! – Code in C# with .NET – Code in Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio!
- 5. Robot Coding in Visual Studio! • Step 1: – Install .NET Micro Framework SDK • Step 2: – Install VS 2015 .NET Micro Framework Project System • Step 3: – Install Netduino SDK v4.3.1 http://forums.netduino.com/index.php?/topic/10201-beta-visual-studio-2013-support/
- 6. We did it!
- 7. Interacting with the netduino • Built in – User LED – Button • You can add more! – BLE – Wi-Fi – DC Motors – Accelerometers – Other awesome stuff http://www.netduino.com/netduino2/specs.htm
- 8. Access “Ports” • InputPort – Read only – Is LED on? – Digital • OutputPort – Write Only – Turn LED On – Digital • InterruptPort – Input Port – Notified on Change • Events! • Analog Port – Input Port – Analog (values 0 – 1000) – Microphone
- 9. Blink that light! Tim & Eric
- 10. Robots in C#
- 12. What’s Included • Micro Stack – Runs on Netduino – Follows “Reactive Programming” – Low-level Hardware Abstraction – Sensor & Peripheral Library
- 13. Built on Blocks • Everything is a Block • C# Class • Represent Devices – Sensors – Motors – Generators – Specialized Blocks LED Button in out in out DC Motor in out
- 14. Blocks in Block in Blocks Button in out My Block in out LED in out Left Motor in out Right Motor in out
- 15. Scopes • Scope : Block – Listen in on signals – Do interesting things – Like: • Log Data • Transform Data • Etc.
- 17. Xamarin’s Unique Approach Native with Code Sharing
- 18. What’s Included • Mobile Stack – Low-level BLE API – Messaging Framework – Peripheral Libraries
- 19. On Netduino – Create Server, Expose Variables
- 20. On Mobile – Find Devices
- 21. On Mobile – Connect to Devices
- 22. On Mobile – Send Variable Updates
- 23. Controlling Robots from C# Powered Apps!
