ZZZ-Netduino 2 Open Source Electronics Platform - Inactive

Netduino 2 is the upgrade of the classic Netduino, an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework, which combines the ease of high-level coding with the raw features of microcontrollers. Featuring a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) and a rich development environment, the Netduino 2 is suitable for engineers and hobbyists alike. Netduino 2 has three times the speed (120MHz), 50% more code space (192KB), and many more features than the original Netduino.

The board provides 22 GPIOs with SPI, I²C, 4 UARTs (1 RTS/CTS), 6 PWM, and 6 ADC channels. And it leverages the new Arduino R3 shield format while maintaining 5V tolerance for compatibility with existing shields. Netduino 2 offers event-based programming, multi-threading, line-by-line debugging, breakpoints, and more. It is also pin-compatible with even more Arduino shields than the original, including "Rev C" Arduino shields and higher-current shields. As Netduino is an open source electronics platform, all design files and source code are included.

Features

120MHz Cortex-M3 STMicro 32-bit microcontroller
192KB of code space and 60KB+ of RAM enables even richer apps
22 digital and analog pins: all GPIO
6+ PWMs to support servo/motor shields (2 more than before, and 1-2 can be used as 32-bit PWM)
On-board blue LED is now also PWM-enabled
6 12-bit ADC channels (upgrade from 10-bit)

Bulk smoothing caps on 3.3V rail also provide enhanced stability for ADC readings
4 UARTs/Serial ports (2 more than before)
3.3V DC-DC switch (upgrade from LDO regulator)
Power headers can be turned on/off via software, to reset or shut down shields on the fly
Native C/C++ hackers: MiniJTAG and integrated bootloader deployment, can use full 768KB of flash and 128KB RAM
