Netduino

When working with Netduino, you can literally build hardware at the speed of software. Are you a C# .Net developer that wants to build connected solutions but you feel like you don’t have the knowledge you need to assemble and control hardware? Are you…

We are absolutely astonished with the projects submitted to our Netduino contest on Hackster.io. Thanks to every one of you who contributed your Netduino project ideas and projects! We’re at the beginning of the connected things revolution, in which many of these efforts are…

Effective immediately, we’ve made a huge price cut on our highest end Netduino models! As of today, July 26, 2018, we’ve lowered the price of a Netduino 3 WiFi from $69.95 USD to $50.00 USD, and a Netduino 3 Ethernet from $59.95 USD to…

In part 1 of this blog series, we looked at the dehydrator system as a whole. In this post in the dehydrator hacking series, we’re going to explore how to control the fan and heater in the dehydrator using relays to regulate temperature. We’ll explore…

Hey folks! We added automatic User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcast support to Maple Server that makes discovering and connecting to your Netduino-powered connected things a breeze. UDP allows you to broadcast a name and IP of your Netduino on a local network, so that…

In this blog series, I document the process of creating a smart appliance out of my dehydrator. Along the way, I’ll show you just how easy it is to create a sophisticated, connected appliance with Netduino.Foundation, which makes hardware development a plug-and-play experience. We’ll…

Today, non-mobile connected devices outnumber mobile phones 4:1; in just a few years, connected things will outnumber mobile phones 10:1, with 75 billion connected devices predicted by 2025. Powered by microcontrollers and commodity hardware advancements, nearly all new products will be connected. We’ve partnered…

When building connected things, the need to provide info to the user and allow interaction and input quickly surfaces. However, building display screens, menus, and providing a way to edit parameters, configure settings, etc, quickly becomes an enormous task. Enter Netduino.Foundation’s TextDisplayMenu: TextDisplayMenu is…

This year, we participated at Maker Faire Bay Area where we got to see the latest creative inventions, meet enthusiasts of all types, and pass out over 800 bags of freshly popped popcorn! For those who participated in our raffle giveaway, thank you. Special…

We’ve been hacking some pretty cool things over here at Wilderness Labs. We’re about to post a couple of new awesome projects including a smart chicken coop, and food dehydrator you can control with your phone! But as we got building them, it became…

Servos were once the domain of remote control cars and airplanes, but today, they’re used in all kinds of IoT projects and have become an essential ingredient in robotics. In fact, many robots rely solely on servos for movement! Netduino.Foundation’s ServoCore library just got…

Of all the various algorithms used in controlling systems; probably the most common, the most versatile, and the most useful algorithm is the Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) method. PID is a mathematical tool for efficiently affecting change in a system to get it to…

Hi folks! Check out the new Wilderness Labs Developer Portal! We’ve been kicking out tons of new developer content, and along with the launch of Netduino.Foundation, it became clear that we needed a better way to organize and navigate Netduino developer resources. The new…

Hey folks! Bryan Costanich here, cofounder of Wilderness Labs and I’m really excited to announce the biggest step forward for Netduino since it was created: Netduino.Foundation! Netduino.Foundation is an open source framework that greatly simplifies creating connected things using the .NET MicroFramework. At its…

In part 3 of this series, we enabled our connected coffee maker to be controlled via a Web API using Maple Server. In this part, we’re going to explore how to easily create a mobile app that runs on iOS, Android, and Windows, powered…

In part 2 of this series we built the core of the connected coffee maker by creating what was essentially a smart power outlet that we could control with a Netduino. After assembling the hardware, we deployed an application that controlled our relay to…

Get hacking with our limited edition Wilderness Labs laser-etched and cut birch baseboard and prototyping kit! This awesome baseboard kit fits Netduino (and Arduino) boards, and includes a deluxe half-size breadboard, (40) 8” male-to-male jumpers, (40) 5” male-to-male jumpers, and all the hardware necessary to…

In part 1 of this series we created a power adapter from a USB charger that can be used to power a Netduino when it isn’t plugged into the computer. In this part, we’re going to create what is, in essence, a smart power…

Hey folks, just a quick note here to say that we added network configuration to the Mac Deploy firmware and configuration app: This update enables Mac developers to configure the network on Netduino without having to boot into bootcamp. For more information, see our…

Did you know that you can power Netduino from a cheap USB charger? We were working on some Netduino-controlled appliance hacks, and I thought it would be helpful to share a quick hack to power Netduino from household electricity using a cheap USB charger…

Get your weekend hacking off to a solid start by 3D printing one of these cool prototype baseboards which fit a Netduino (or Arduino) and a half-size breadboard! Head over to our downloads page to grab the files and get printing.

Netduino is Back! Wilderness Labs acquired the Netduino brand back in December, and we’ve been quietly working away since then to make it even more awesome.   Today, we’re taking the wraps off of it, and are proud to announce that not only is…
