The netduino.Helpers documentation is supported by detailed blog posts.

Samples

Check the \netduino.helpers\Samples folder for the samples and demos. The project called 'Samples' references all the others and will allowing building everything in one shot.

Sample descriptions

\netduino.helpers\Samples\PIX6T4: contains the console boot loader and games. The complete project page, with schematics, source code, documentation and ready-to-play games are available from http://www.pix6t4.com/

\netduino.helpers\Samples\ASSM: is a simple class used to illustrate dynamic assembly loading of little-endian PE files on the netduino.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\BeyondHelloWorld: is a large sample making use of:

an SD card driver
- Be sure to place the content of the \BeyondHelloWorld\SD Card Resources folder at the root of the SD card before running the sample
loads bitmaps, strings and assemblies dynamically
drives an 8x8 LED matrix using Persistence Of Vision
uses an analog joystick for input
For a complete project using these drivers, see the PIX-6T4 project.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\DS1307: tests all the functions of the Maxim DS1307 real-time clock.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\KloutKlock: network-enabled clock using NTP time to display the date and time and Klout web services to show the user's influence within Social Networks. Requires a Netduino Plus and an AdaFruit ST7735 TFT screen. This project is documented here.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\WaterHeaterController: water heater controller designed to save energy. Makes use of the Serial Interface Builder, the Hitec HS6635HB servo and the DS1307 clock. This project is documented here.

Dependencies

Be sure to check out the netduino Beta forum for the latest flash version required to support SD card I/Os.

All applications have been tested under firmware 4.1.1 Beta 1 only. .Net MF v4.2 is not yet supported as some features were taken out since 4.1.1 unfortunately.

Memory constraints

The library is getting large and will need to be trimmed to meet the needs of your application. This is especially relevant to the Netduino Plus. You can do this two ways: either take out the drivers and classes that you don't need / want and recompile the library (be mindful of inter-dependencies between some of the classes) or you can create you own library using a subset of the files making the Netduino Helpers library.

Tools

\netduino.helpers\Tools: .bmp conversion programs. Expect 1-bit or 24-bit depth horizontal bitmaps.

The 'netduino Helpers' is a C# driver set for common hardware components and convenient wrappers around complex .Net Micro Framework features such as:

Analog joysticks
Interrupt-driven push-button
Real-time clock (DS1307)
8*8 LED matrix
AdaFruit SSD1306 OLED display
AdaFruit ST7735 TFT display
AdaFruit VC0706 Camera
Shift registers (74hc595)
Runtime assembly & resource loader
Bitmaps & Bitmap Compositions
HiTec HS6635HB servo driver
Serial Interface Builder
Maxim 7219 / 7221 LED driver
RTTL sound support
Trigonometry library (exMath-based)
Lightweight JSON parser (parsing from stream & string)
Virtual Memory support

This is a work in progress as more drivers will be added as the need arises.

The library is now available as source-code only.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\BeyondHelloWorld: is a large sample making use of:

an SD card driver
- Be sure to place the content of the \BeyondHelloWorld\SD Card Resources folder at the root of the SD card before running the sample
loads bitmaps, strings and assemblies dynamically
drives an 8x8 LED matrix using Persistence Of Vision
uses an analog joystick for input

\netduino.helpers\Samples\DS1307: tests all the functions of the Maxim DS1307 real-time clock.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\AdaFruitSSD1306: sample driving an AdaFruit SSD1306 monochrome OLED display

\netduino.helpers\Samples\AdaFruitST7735: sample driving an AdaFruit ST7735 TFT display

\netduino.helpers\Samples\ImagingSamples: show how to build multi-layered bitmap compositions. This project has not yet been documented with a blog post.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\HiTecServoTest: simple unit test for the HiTec servo driver moving the arm back and forth from 0 to 180 degrees. This project is documented here.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\Max72197221Test: unit tests exercising all the functions of the Maxim 7219 / 7221 LED driver. This driver is documented here.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\RingToneTest: unit tests for the RTTL sound support. This driver has not yet been documented.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\PIPBoy3000: Geiger counter and Twitter client sample. This project is documented here.

\netduino.helpers\Samples\JSONParserTest: JSON parser unit test samples. This project is documented as part of the Klout Klock sample application. This project is documented here.

Dependencies
