Getting Started with Netduino

Compile an App

Now you’ve got a directory with the following files in it:

• Makefile

• MetaDataProcessor.exe

• Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware.dll

• Microsoft.SPOT.Native.dll

• Microsoft.SPOT.TinyCore.dll

• SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino.dll

• SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.dll

• mscorlib.dll

All you need to add is a program (named Program.cs) and a subdirectory (Properties) with a file called AssemblyInfo.cs in it.

Try it out with the program from Chapter 3. Here’s what needs to go inside your Program.cs:

using System;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware;
using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino;

namespace MonoNetduinoApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            // write your code here
            OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false);

            while (true)
            {
                led.Write(true); // turn on the LED
                Thread.Sleep(250); // sleep for 250ms
                led.Write(false); // turn off the LED
                Thread.Sleep(250); // sleep for 250ms
            }
        }

    }
}

And here’s what you need inside of Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs (you will need to create the Properties subdirectory):

using System.Reflection; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; [assembly: AssemblyTitle("Blinky")] [assembly: AssemblyDescription("")] [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")] [assembly: AssemblyCompany("")] [assembly: AssemblyProduct("Blinky")] [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")] [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")] [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")] [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")] ...
