Wow, a great evening: an attentive and interested audience. Here are some links that were discussed during the evening:

• tinyclr.com
• robotshop.ca
• cosm.com
• netmf.com and netmf.com/gadgeteer

You can download the files and the presentation in zip format here and on the .Net Montreal group website.

I forgot Gadgeteer stickers at home, so if you want some, let me know and we’ll arrange to send them to you!

Thank you, if you have any questions feel free to contact me and I look forward to seeing your projects!

I finally received my Fez Panda II, running on NETMF of course, from Ghi Electronics after spending a gift certificate I had won on TinyClr.com!

I also ordered a 128x64 pixel backlit LCD screen, connected here via my Fez Panda II:

Well, I’m going back to play with my toys.

Happy coding!

After a few weeks of waiting, I received my Fez Domino ordered via RobotShop!

This microcontroller running on the .Net Micro Framework (NETMF) is designed in the same format as the Arduino, allowing the use of its “shields”.

While waiting to play with it and give you my feedback, you can check out the following sites:

• TinyCLR.com: Community around Fez and GHI Electronics products (managed by the manufacturer GHI Electronics)
• Fezzer.com: Drivers and mini-applications developed by the community
• microframeworkprojects.com: Contains projects/documentation created by the community.

Pyxis 2 is an OS running on the .Net Micro Framework (NETMF). It can theoretically run on any NETMF platform, but it is currently configured only for GHI Electronics (Tinyclr.com) products.

To learn more, read the NETMF team blog or visit the official site. The code is available as open source at pyxis2.codeplex.com. Here is a video to whet your appetite:
