c# powered robots, c# powered mobile apps
TRANSCRIPT
The World of Robots!
We are going to build this!
Programing Said Robots
• Arduino– Runs Arduino Software– Code in C/C++– IDE: open-source Ardunio
Software IDE• Windows/OS X/Linux
• Netduino– Compatible with Arduino
Hardware Ecosystem– Much more powerful– Runs Netduino Software– .NET Micro Framework!!!– Code in C# with .NET– Code in Visual Studio or
Xamarin Studio!
Robot Coding in Visual Studio!
• Step 1: – Install .NET Micro Framework SDK
• Step 2: – Install VS 2015 .NET Micro Framework Project System
• Step 3: – Install Netduino SDK v4.3.1

We did it!
Interacting with the netduino
• Built in– User LED– Button
• You can add more!– BLE– Wi-Fi– DC Motors– Accelerometers– Other awesome stuff
http://www.netduino.com/netduino2/specs.htm
Access “Ports”
• InputPort– Read only– Is LED on?– Digital
• OutputPort– Write Only– Turn LED
On– Digital
• InterruptPort– Input Port– Notified on
Change• Events!
• Analog Port– Input Port– Analog
(values 0 –1000)
– Microphone
Blink that light!

Robots in C#
Introducing Monkey.Robotics
What’s Included
• Micro Stack– Runs on Netduino– Follows “Reactive
Programming”– Low-level Hardware
Abstraction– Sensor & Peripheral Library
Built on Blocks
• Everything is a Block• C# Class• Represent Devices
– Sensors– Motors– Generators– Specialized Blocks

Scopes
• Scope : Block– Listen in on signals– Do interesting things– Like:
• Log Data• Transform Data• Etc.
SimplifiedRobots in C#
Xamarin’s Unique Approach
Native withCode Sharing
What’s Included
• Mobile Stack– Low-level BLE API– Messaging Framework– Peripheral Libraries
On Netduino – Create Server, Expose Variables
On Mobile – Find Devices
On Mobile – Connect to Devices
On Mobile – Send Variable Updates
Controlling Robots from C# Powered Apps!
