RELATED TRENDS
• Things getting bigger, smaller and everywhere• Big data• Mobility• Gadgetization - fitbit• Domotics – home automation• Internet of things• 3.4×1038 IPV6 addresses • 1.33*1050 atoms in the world• Est 20~30 billion connect devices
ELECTRONIC PROTOTYPING PLATFORMS
Options for physical computing• Gadgeteer, .NET, C#/VB, Easy• Arduino, Wiring, C++ like, real-time• Raspberry Pi, Linux based
WHAT IS THE .NET MICRO FRAMEWORK?
• Spun off from SPOT (Small Person Object Technology)
• Open Source .NET Platform for resource constrained devices• Devices with a 32-bit processor and as little as 64K RAM
• Subset of .NET ~70 classes, ~400 methods, WCF, WPF, SOAP, WSDL
• CLR, Type System, Managed, Threads, Events, Exceptions
• Use Visual Studio as the IDE plus Emulator
• Program in C# or VB.NET – no generics
• Same code runs on any NetMF device with minimal changes
• Full debugging capabilities
• Emulator, Breakpoints, Stepping, Variables, Stack Traces
WHAT IS .NET GADGETEER
• Open Source prototyping Pluggable Platform• http://gadgeteer.codeplex.com/
• Runs .NET Micro Framework• Limited electronics
knowledge required• Education, Hobbyists,
Professionals Modules
Boards

ARDUINO• Open Source Microcontroller Platform for electronics prototyping• Uses the Arduino programming language (Wiring - C++ based)
• http://arduino.cc/en/Reference
• IDE Arduino and Visual Studio addin http://visualmicro.codeplex.com• Loop based, no threads, no exceptions, no interactive debug• Benefits
• Real time• Inexpensive• Cross-Platform Software, lots of shared libraries• Open Source and Extensible Software and Hardware
