sintesi was founded in 1989 by three occupational health doctors working in the academic field . from the issuing date of the first directive framework cee 89 / 391 for occupational health and safety , it has exclusively worked in the field of injury prevention , occupational illnesses , and environmental protection . sintesi works alongside private companies and the italian public administration , anticipating , by 25 years , the base organizational layout for daily prevention systems .
a few years later , sintesi evolves from a limited liability company to a holding company and invests in specialized skills and new technologies .
sintesi was not at all unprepared for the adoption of the d . lgs regulations concerning safety and security ; for some time it has been using diverse skill sets and professional disciplines to provide clients with full coverage of the new regulatory framework and its amendments .
staring from the second half of the 1990’s , sintesi amplifies their service set and exceeded the goal of procuring 1000 clients throughout the italian territory , above all , small and medium - sized private businesses .
it is in the end of the 1990’s that sintesi changes their company strategy by participating in competitive tenders and acquiring it’s first large contracts with the italian public administration .
it defines it’s service set for the public sector while remaining centered around the output of services for private clients . they develop internal competencies to guarantee the production of services guaranteeing the tutelage and responsibility of the pa and its apical vertices .
following a notable increment in turnover , sintesi undergoes a profound restructuring and surpasses the goal of 10 million euros .
“place man at the center of the process” : this has always been at the base of sintesi’s approach to business . the management has constantly adhered to the view of being a company that generates worthwhile work for an important objective” . this courageous theory became concrete when pierluigi gemmiti ( ceo ) defined his company as “a human company” which places personnel at its center .
“to give the company a significance that goes beyond profit , to reinvest in the improvement of the safety of he who works and to recuperate and increase the value of the ethical concept of safety at work” .
out of respect for this profound conviction arose the need to devote a considerable share of investments towards projects dedicated to the culture of security and prevention . one of the beneficiaries of these investments is the non - profit community . through numerous initiatives and agreements with important associations , sintesi backs and supports the non - profit sector .
the year begins with the inauguration of the first of a series of polifunctional prevention centers , located in the capital , rome , and the second in milan . benchmarks of profitability , productivity and financial growth all show that sintesi is constantly expanding .

fastweb was founded in milan in 1999 with a truly innovative project from a technological perspective and from the point of view of the industry : the construction of a fibre - optic network and the adoption of ip protocol for voice , data and video transmission .
18 years on , fastweb is one of the top operators on the telecommunications market in italy and its network now extends all over italian territory .
in september 1999 , in milan , e . biscom is founded with a business project to develop and promote a new generation of transmission networks as an alternative to the traditional telephone networks .
the company focuses on the creation of a widespread fibre optic network in the metropolitan area of milan . e . biscom is the parent company to which other companies report , including fastweb , wholly owned by e . biscom , which provides telecommunications services .
in march 2000 e . biscom is listed on the italian new market stock exchange in order to expand and finance the growth of the fibre optic network in the main italian cities .
e . biscom is the first operator in the world to use full ip technology and to take optical fibre to the cities . the first home services are launched .
the innovative video - on - demand service is introduced to the market . from july 2001 . e . biscom voice , data and internet also begins to be supplied through xdsl technology .
cabling in fiber optic is completed in milan and fastweb consolidates its presence in rome , genoa , turin , naples and bologna . over the course of the year , the range of television services is extended , combining video - on - demand with widespread programming and video communication services .
over the course of 2003 e . biscom completes its range of television services for residential clients with the transmission of live soccer matches . provision of video - on - demand service and the entire range of television services broadcast over - the - air or by satellite begins by means of adsl to customers not directly reached by the fibre optic network .
hence triple play takes shape , in other words , the convergence between telecommunications , internet and television .
in december 2004 , the merger of fastweb into e . biscom is completed , decided on in the preceding april by the respective bods . with the merger , the group focuses on its core business : broadband telecommunications on the italian landline network . the company takes on the name of fastweb .
on 14 january 2005 , the bod approves the 2005 - 2013 business plan , which launches a new expansion phase , bringing forward to 2006 the extension of the fastweb broadband network to around half of the population of italy . on 18 february , the general meeting approves an issue of shares for cash or other consideration amounting to eur 800 million to part finance acceleration in growth . fastweb establishes itself increasingly as a sound and reliable national telecommunications operator , chosen by residential and business customers throughout italy owing to the quality and reliability of its service .
a further dimension is added to the range of tv services with replay tv , the service that allows viewers to view the programmes again up to three days before the generalist tv ( rai , mediaset , ti media ) , and with the multiplatform unique decoder . the fastweb network reaches 45 % of the population .
in march , swisscom , former swiss telecommunications monopoly operator , launches a full public tender offer on fastweb . the transaction is concluded in may . swisscom buys 82 . 1 % of the corporate capital , which is described as

growth continues in the markets in which fastweb operates : homes , pmi , large corporations , public authorities and smes . for the large corporations fastweb develops advanced unified communication solutions , the next generation service that allows the integration of communication channels and various terminals . the story of ten years of fastweb is told by valerio castronovo and giovanni paoloni in a book published by laterza , entitled : fastweb 1999 – 2009 , the story of an innovative company .
the provision of up to 100 mega for residential customers begins : in september , fastweb makes fibra 100 ( fibre 100 ) available to the residential market . two million homes and businesses are thus able to use the internet at 100 mbps for the first time in italy . in autumn , swisscom launches a voluntary tender offer on the fastweb shares ( 17 . 918 % of the capital ) not yet held by swisscom . at the end of the tender offer ( november 2010 ) swisscom held 94 . 83 % of fastweb ' s capital and launched the procedure for delisting of the shares from the milan stock exchange .
for families and the self - employed , fastweb signs a strategic agreement with sky , allowing them to bring together sky ' s satellite television services with fastweb ' s broadband internet and landline telephone services .
fastweb launches a major network expansion plan to take optical fibre with a connection speed of up to 100 megabits per second to twenty cities by 2014 with fibre to the street cabinet ( fttcab ) technology to more than 5 . 5 million homes and businesses , achieving domestic coverage of more than 20 % .

) . incidentally , also mfm was found by the ica to have infringed competition in that case .
first , the ica spotted a number of red flags in the bidding strategies of the parties . though mfm , cns , manital and rg made a bid for all 18 lots , their bids overlapped only on two lots . and in this case the offer made by one of the bidder quoted a higher price than made by the other bidder . the bids made by the parties substantially reflected the contracts previously awarded to them . es and ds were also engaged in allocation strategies . mfm , cns , manital and rg made clearly less aggressive offers for the lots for which es and ds made the better temporary bids .
second , there were many structural links between the parties . many of the parties formed group of undertakings to jointly bid for public contracts and were also members of professional associations . third , the above bidding strategies of the parties could not be explained but for a collusion strategy shared by all of them .

the operating result ( ebit ) totalled 3 . 7 billion euros , a 25 . 6 % increase on the figure for 2015 ( + 26 . 8 % in organic terms ) ; ebit in the fourth quarter of 2016 totalled around 1 billion euros , 0 . 8 billion euros more than in the fourth quarter of 2015 .
revenues in 2016 totalled 19 , 025 million euros , 3 . 5 % ( - 694 million euros ) down compared to 2015 ( 19 , 719 million euros ) . in terms of organic change , calculated by excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates and in the consolidation scope , consolidated revenues were down 2 . 6 % ( - 501 million euros ) .
( * ) after the change to persidera’s mission , the media business unit was incorporated into the domestic business unit ( domestic core ) from 1 january 2016 ; in the absence of this change , domestic revenues in 2016 would have been 14 , 933 million euros .
( * * ) includes the olivetti company since 1 january 2016 . the data for the comparative financial year have been changed accordingly .
revenues for the fourth quarter 2016 totalled 5 , 086 million euros and showed an improvement compared with the same period of the previous financial year , both in absolute terms ( + 245 million euros ; + 5 . 1 % ) and in organic terms ( + 28 million euros ; + 0 . 6 % ) reversing a negative trend that had persisted for 18 quarters . this positive result was driven by the domestic business unit , which grew by 2 . 5 % in organic terms compared with - 2 . 6 % in the fourth quarter of 2015 . this result was helped by the introduction of innovative offers aimed , for example , at optimising use of the mobile network in off - peak hours and at retaining the customer base by offering new products (
enabling products
) that extend the reach of tim services into adjacent markets .
positive signs are also coming from the brazil business unit which , in a better macroeconomic and competitive context , is significantly slowing down the negative trend , limiting the reduction in revenues to 1 . 7 % in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared with - 15 . 3 % in the first quarter of 2016 . this recovery is linked to effective repositioning in the post - paid segment , with a strengthening of the main operational indicators . ebitda in 2016 was 8 , 002 million euros , up 996 million euros ( + 14 . 2 % ) from the previous financial year , with an ebitda margin of 42 . 1 % ( 35 . 5 % in 2015 ; + 6 . 6 percentage points ) . in organic terms , ebitda showed an increase of 1 , 057 million euros ( + 15 . 2 % ) compared to the previous year , with a 6 . 5 percentage points increase in margin . ebitda for 2016 reflected the negative impact of non - recurring charges for a total of 197 million euros ( 1 , 076 million euros in 2015 ) . without these , the organic change in ebitda would have been + 2 . 2 % , with an ebitda margin of 43 . 1 % of revenues , 2 percentage points higher than 2015 .
( * ) the 2015 figure is reported at the same exchange rate ( mean 2016 rate ) . the impact on ebit , at historic exchange rates , totalled 990 million euros ( capital gain on towers , - 328 million euros ; impairment of goodwill brazil , 240 million euros ) .
these charges also include the costs of the company restructuring / reorganisation , the charges consequent on disputes and fines of a regulatory nature and related liabilities , charges connected to disputes with former employees , amounts owed to customers and / or suppliers and costs connected to trade receivables management .
( * ) after the change to persidera’s mission , the media business unit was incorporated into the domestic business unit ( domestic core ) from 1 january 2016 ; in the absence of this change , domestic ebitda in 2016 would have been 6 , 658 million euros .
ebitda for the fourth quarter 2016 totalled 2 , 124 million euros , 740 million euros higher than the same period of the previous year . in organic terms and net of non - recurring items , the growth amounts to 106 million euros , equal to + 5 . 1 % , an improvement of 12 . 6 percentage points compared with - 7 . 5 % in the first quarter of 2016 .
the sustained recovery in ebitda , both in absolute terms and in terms of the margin of profitability on revenues , benefited from the cost recovery plan actions launched in the second quarter of 2016 by the domestic business unit and in the third quarter in the brazil business unit .
2016 ebit was 3 , 722 million euros ( 2 , 963 million euros in 2015 ) , 759 million euros higher ( + 25 . 6 % ) than in 2015 , with an ebitda margin of 19 . 6 % ( 15 . 0 % in fy 2015 , + 4 . 6 percentage points ) .
organic ebit was up 786 million euros ( + 26 . 8 % ) , accounting for 19 . 6 % of revenues ( 15 . 0 % in fy 2015 ) .
ebit for the year reflects the negative impact of non - recurring net charges for a total of 185 million euros ( 993 million euros in the first nine months of 2015 at the same exchange rate ) .
without these non - recurring items organic change in ebit would have been a decrease of 22 million euros ( - 0 . 6 % ) , with a margin of 20 . 5 % , ( 20 . 1 % in fy2015 ) .
ebit for the fourth quarter 2016 totalled 954 million euros , 797 million euros higher than the fourth quarter of 2015 , reflecting the improvement in ebitda referred to earlier .
profits for the 2016 financial year attributable to parent company shareholders totalled 1 , 808 million euros ( losses attributable to parent company shareholders totalled 70 million in fy 2015 ) and benefit not only from the improved margins , but also from some items of a purely accounting and valuation nature , which do not generate any financial adjustments , connected principally with the valuation at fair value of the implicit option included in the mandatory convertible bond issued at the end of 2013 with maturity at three years .
group headcount at 31 december 2016 was 61 , 229 , including 51 , 125 in italy ( 65 , 867 at 31 december 2015 , including 52 , 555 in italy ) .
( * ) after the change to persidera’s mission , the media business unit was incorporated into the domestic business unit ( domestic core ) from 1 january 2016 ; in the absence of this change , domestic investments in 2016 would have been 3 , 702 million euros .
revenues in 2016 totalled 15 , 006 million euros , up slightly on 2015 ( + 5 million euros ) due to the structural improvement recorded during the year , which led in the third and fourth quarters to a reversal of the trend , with a positive growth rate compared to the same periods of the previous financial year ( fourth quarter + 2 . 5 % , third quarter + 1 . 0 % , compared with –1 . 2 % and - 2 . 3 % respectively in the second and first quarter ) . revenues from services also presented a recovery and improvement trend – in particular the mobile segment , which showed a positive growth rate in every quarter – with a reduction compared to the previous financial year limited to - 180 million euros ( - 1 . 3 % ) , lower than recorded in 2015 ( - 276 million euros , - 1 . 9 % compared with 2014 ) .
in the fourth quarter of 2016 , revenues from services were - 1 . 3 % , entirely attributable however to the reduction of regulated wholesale prices .
service revenues from the mobile market totalled 4 , 579 million euros , with an increase of 63 million euros compared to the previous year ( + 1 . 4 % ) , and the dynamic of constant and steady growth that was observed in the preceding quarters was confirmed ( quarter one + 0 . 6 % , quarter two + 0 . 7 % , quarter three + 1 . 1 % , quarter four + 3 . 0 % ) , particularly in the last quarter , which benefited from the launch of innovative offers in the autumn campaign , a further push to encourage takeup of 4g coverage and services , and a rational pricing strategy , intended to both react in a balanced way to commercial pressure on the low - spending segment , and ensure quality and convergence in the medium - high spending segment . this improvement also confirms the marked improvement in the principal operating indicators : in the fourth quarter of 2016 , arpu increased to 13 . 3 euros / month ( compared to 12 . 8 euros / month in the fourth quarter of 2015 ) , churn was at 23 % , confirming us as best - in - class in the sector , while the mobile number portability balance improved , becoming positive ( + 26 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to - 44 thousand in the third quarter of 2016 ) .
2016 revenues from fixed market services totalled 9 , 965 million euros , 407 million euros less than 2015 ( - 3 . 9 % ) ; this fall which steadily attenuated during the year ( - 3 . 0 % in the fourth quarter ) was entirely related to the lower revenues from voice services ( - 533 million euros ) , due to the loss of traditional accesses , with a trend that still represented a significant recovery compared to the earlier periods ) , only in part offset by the continuous growth in broadband and ultra - broadband customers , which is driving growth in innovative connectivity services ( + 158 million euros in 2016 ; + 6 . 8 % ) . these results are also significantly influenced by the reduction in the regulated prices of some wholesale services . line losses reduced significantly , falling to - 83 thousand in the last quarter of 2016 , confirming the trend noted in previous quarters . the trend in new fibre subscriptions accelerated strongly ( + 125 , 000 in the fourth quarter ) with an ngn client base of approximately 1 million .
revenues from product sales , including changes to works in progress , totalled 1 , 128 million euros in 2016 , a significant improvement on 2015 ( + 185 million euros ) , thanks to the growth in volumes and revenue from the sale of internet connectivity service and entertainment enabling products ( smart phones , smarttvs etc . ) .
core domestic revenues totalled 13 , 926 million euros and fell by 0 . 5 % ( 14 , 001 million euros in 2015 ) . the performance of the individual market segments as compared with the 2015 financial year is as follows :
consumer : 2016 revenues totalled 7 , 389 million euros , a significant improvement from 2015 ( + 118 million euros ; + 1 . 6 % ) . this positive result was helped by the trend of structural improvement in mobile revenues , as a result of retention of our market share and the stabilisation of arpu levels , as well as the gradual recovery in fixed revenues , thanks to an improved dynamic and significant reduction in line losses .
mobile revenues totalled 3 , 759 million euros , with a dynamic of constant and significant growth , compared to 2015 ( + 161 million euros , + 4 . 5 % ) . service revenues increased by 101 million euros ( + 3 . 2 % ) , further confirming and consolidating the positive trend compared to 2015 in the last quarter . this is attributable both to an improvement in the competitive dynamics - with a gradual stabilisation of market share - and to the constant growth in mobile internet and digital entertainment services , which supported arpu levels ;
fixed revenues totalled 3 , 584 million euros , down by 125 million euros compared with 2015 ( - 3 . 4 % ) . this decline in turnover recovered strongly in the last quarter , with a positive result compared with recent quarters ( fourth quarter + 2 . 0 % , third quarter - 3 . 2 % , second quarter - 6 . 0 % , first quarter - 6 . 0 % ) . the improving trend in revenues is attributable to a reduction in voice - only access losses , accompanied by the development of broadband and ultrabroadband customers , and the growth of connectivity and content enabling products ( smarttvs , decoders etc . ) .
business : the revenues of the business segment totalled 4 , 535 million euros , 210 million euros less than 2015 ( - 4 . 4 % ) , 193 million euros ( - 4 . 5 % ) of which in the service component and 18 million euros ( - 3 . 7 % ) from equipment and products .
fixed service revenues fell by 118 million euros ( - 3 . 7 % compared with the previous year ) , despite the constant growth in revenue from ict services ( + 3 . 1 % ) , particularly cloud services . in fact , the segment continues to be affected by the slow recovery in the broader economy , the fall in the prices of traditional voice and data services , and the technological shift towards voip systems .
wholesale : the wholesale segment presented revenues of 1 , 780 million euros in 2016 , down by 47 million euros ( - 2 . 6 % ) compared with 2015 , entirely due to the reduction in regulated prices , which had a negative effect of 46 million euros .

this article takes us through our first steps with netduino programming . the examples are simple and are for absolute beginners .
the netduino is really pretty slick . and it ' s hardware compatible with the majority of the arduino shields out there . and , with a bit of work , you can usually port a fair bit of the arduino code to c # too . the netduino forums are here , and there are several blogs starting to cover netduino projects now too .
first experiences with the new netduino go , and how it relates to . net gadgeteer - pete brown ' s urltoken
the real difference between . net gadgeteer and the netduino go is the way the modules communicate with the main board .
this is the main processor , and it contains the code storage space and ram used by your netduino app . the microcontroller’s pins are wired to the blue pin headers , enabling your netduino app to connect to external components and expansion shields .
here’s a project demonstrating how to connect a light sensor to the web using the netduino plus and the thingspeak web service .

the netduino plus 2 has ethernet cooked in already ! there is a full tcp / ip stack with examples ready to go , and a microsd card slot for storing files netduino plus 2 has four times the speed ( 168mhz ) , six times the code space ( 384kb ) , and twice the available ram ( 100kb + ) of netduino plus 1 . features :
in case you missed the announcement on 4 / 4 , the guys and secret labs , along with other members of the netduino community have come out with a new platform called netduino go . head on over urltoken for the introduction forum post .
enough of the comparison . let ' s take a look at the experience of building a simple netduino go demo application .
one of the major selling points of the netduino platform is the robust software framework that netduino employs . arduino uses the wiring language , and the arduino ide allows for a high level of control and visibility over the “bare metal” of the microcontroller . netduino on the other hand , uses the familiar . net framework , allowing programmers to work in c # using microsoft visual studio .
as we already know netduino apps are written using c # language and many of us are already familiar with the famouse visual studio ide for development from microsoft . the same visual studio ide can be used to create , run and debug the netduino apps .
a few weeks ago i asked about source access and firmware compilation . my aim was to enable netduino ' s hardware watchdog .
to deploy a netduino mini app ( and debug ) , you ' ll use serial communication . here are a few options .
as i mentioned , i didn ' t have an official sdk yet , instead , i created a regular netduino project , changed its framework version to 4 . 2 , and then added a reference to the netduino go libraries sent to me by chris at secret labs . presumably , with the new sdk , the experience will be file - > new - > netduino go application .
the netduino is an open source electronics platform using the . net micro framework . it features a 32 - bit microcontroller and a rich development environment . the netduino combines 20 gpios with spi , i2c , 2 uarts , 4 pwms , and 6 adc channels .
netduino 2 is still the same arduino shield compatible board you know and love , except faster with more code space . powered by an stmicro cortex - m3 microcontroller running at 120mhz , the netduino 2 packs 192kb of code space and 60kb of ram . with built - in hardware peripherals like uart , pwm , i2c , 12 - bit adc and dac , the netduino 2 is ready to interface with whatever you throw at it . that includes arduino r3 - style shields , since netduino 2 adds two gpio over its predecessor .

don ' t let him get away with it . let ' s make sure anyone who searches for chris walker , netduino or secret labs knows that he is a wrong ' un .
the netduino plus 2 has a ethernet jacka enabling us to connect the unit to the network which could be a local network or the internet . connecting to internet opens up a whole new window of features like reading data from remote servers or posting data from the connected sensors and devices to the internet . this will enable us to build the internet of things using the netduino .
optional : shields and starter kits to do cool things with netduino . existing arduino shields are compatible . a shield is just an add - on card that fits the pins on the board .
i ' m very pleased to announce that the netduino v4 . 2 firmware was officially released this morning ( simultaneously with the . net micro framework 4 . 2 qfe2 pk and sdk ) .
this is the netduino plus ( 1 ) firmware 4 . 2 . 0 . 1 source with cw2 ' s 1 - wire extensions and hardware watchdog . the binaries are available here : urltoken
netduino plus offers 20 gpios combined with spi , i2c , 2 uarts ( 1 rts / cts ) , 4 pwm channels and 6 adc channels . plus microsd storage and ethernet ip networking .
omar , wire the rx of the adapter to pin 11 of the netduino mini . wire the tx of the adapter to pin 12 of the netduino mini . wire the gnd of the adapter to pin 4 of the netduino mini . and if you ' d like , wire the dtr of the adapter to pin 3 of the netduino mini . this adapter converts usb to 3 . 3v ttl signals , not rs232 signals . if you hook it up to the 12v rs232 uart ( pins 1 and 2 ) , that could cause trouble . once you hook up the usb adapter to the ttl uart , open up hyperterminal and press esc . then select option 1 to use the ttl uart for deployment / debug . you ' ll be up and running . chris
i ' ll show off the netduino go , along with the gadgeteer main boards and modules , in my talk at the free online p & p symposium on april 24th . please register .
it ' s hard to really see it from this photo , but the netduino go main board is just a bit than the fez cerebus main board . ghi also has several other gadgeteer main boards and kits ( like the spider and the hydra ) . the cerebus is just the latest offering . the hydra and cerebus are open source hardware and software , as is the netduino go .
hi pete and chris , chris , i just bought your book
getting started with netduino
and am getting ready to purchase a netduino to play with . i was going to get the netduino plus but when i was at amazon i noticed the netduino go and saw pete ' s review which lead me here . in the book the plus sounds like the best one but the go wasn ' t released yet . should i get the plus or the go ? pete , by the way , i have your silverlight 5 book preordered from manning ; i haven ' t checked out the meap but i am really looking forward to getting the printed copy in the mail . it ' s cool to find your blog and see what other cool things you are interested in .
) and i haven ' t been able to get a response from the netduino , thats what the . net mf deploy tool says . i am not sure whats going on there . . .
rx , tx , dtr , and gnd wires to pins 1 , 2 , 3
- on the specs page it said that tx is pin 1 and rx is pin 2 . . . so is it that i should connect the tx of the ftdi adapter to the rx of the netduino mini , and the rx of the ftdi adapter to the tx of the netduino mini ?
worth noting was that i didn ' t need a special driver for the go . instead , i plugged it into my machine , and it was recognized as a netduino . it just worked .
netduino plus 2 is the new netduino plus . it has four times the speed ( 168mhz ) , six times the code space ( 384kb ) , and twice the available ram ( 100kb + ) of netduino plus 1 . they ' ve also given it a whole series of rich new features like four serial ports , six pwm channels and 12 - bit adc . the 6 - pin icsp header has been swapped out for a 10 - pin minijtag header . the goal is to enable developers to compile their own firmware using gcc and debug both native and managed code at the same time .
both arduino and netduino are designed to make the world of microcontroller development more accessible to a general audience of programmers , so the use of software toolsets that are already familiar to many programmers is a big plus . netduino programming works at a higher level of abstraction than that of arduino , allowing for more software development features that will be familiar and comfortable for those transitioning from the world of software .
now select your project properties - > . net micro framework tab - > set the transport to usb . this will deploy the code into the connected netduino and also run it on the board .
i ' ve coded in assembly , c / c + + , and c # for the last good 10 years . i coded in assembly for 8051 , in c / c + + for the 8 - bit avrmega mcu , and now in c # for the netduino . it only make sense that netduino continues to motivate development in c # and not going backward to c / c + + or native code . with this in mind , i recommend that the netduino opensource community should expose a standard c # class which allows read / write to / from the mcu ' s registers directly .
here’s how you can take this project further with a design from shadowlord . you can create a web front - end using html , css , and jquery to visualize your status updates from the netduino .
thanks for this sample . this works for me out of the box when it’s running on my netduino but it seems to get stuck when i try to run it using the debugger in visual studio .
in my opinion , the zif socket is a must - have item because the pins on the netduino mini are fragile and are unlikely to survive being inserted and removed from a breadboard too many times .
the netduino mini may be programmed over its rs232 uart ( pins 1 , 2 ) or its 3 . 3v ttl uart ( pins 11 , 12 ) . by default it uses the rs232 uart .
before we get into actually creating the project , what will it be ? well this is just something simple , nothing useful , but hopefully gives you an idea how to work with the netduino go .
here’s a video of the code in action on my netduino go , i’ll see if i can’t get another video done when i get the third led module in place ( only 2 for now ) .
i just received a bunch of packages from both secret labs and ghi electronics . the secret labs packages contained their brand new netduino go . the ghi package contained the fez cerebus starter kit i ordered .
the netduino go modules have their mounting holes on 5mm centers , just like the gadgeteer . so , i was able to use a tamiya 70172 universal plate ( large ) as a home for everything .
i really wanted to write more complex examples and explain them but its already late sunday evening . but i will leave you all to do you experiments with the netduino and promise to add more examples soon .
this is the small golden dot at the end of digital i / o pin headers . this is used to erase the netduino completely and to start over from scratch . this was made in order make this board hacker friendly so the netduino can be repurposed as an arm microcontroller development board . the erase function is activated by connecting a wire between the 3 . 3v pin and the erase pad for a few seconds .
had an interesting email today from someone who claims to have purchased the ip of secret labs ( what ip ? ) and also the netduino brand . he claims that his company established wilderness labs to rescue netduino and that chris walker has nothing to do with the business . the email alleges that they were going to make an announcement next month but weirdly their suppliers know about my website and it is harming their business .
3rd - party accessories offer pre - built functionality like gps location , servo control and battery power . netduino is also pin - compatible with arduino shields . 3rd - party drivers are required for some arduino shields .
hi chris , i got this today ( urltoken ) and i haven ' t been able to get a response from the netduino , thats what the . net mf deploy tool says . i am not sure whats going on there . . .
rx , tx , dtr , and gnd wires to pins 1 , 2 , 3

the netduino supports existing arduino - style shields just as it always has , but just as you had to before , you ' ll need to write ( or find code for ) drivers to make those work .
the netduino plus is an open source electronics platform using the . net micro framework . the board features a 32 - bit microcontroller and a rich development environment , making it a perfect solution for engineers and hobbyists alike .
article was very timely . i had ordered my netduino for play 15 minuts before checking on this blog post ! i will definitely use scott ' s code as something else to play with until i get some components !
netduino combines 20 gpios with spi , i2c , 2 uarts ( 1 rts / cts ) , 4 pwm and 6 adc channels . best of all with netmf 4 . 1 , you can use visual studio 2010 !
the specs & schematics of the netduino mini give us all the details required to make the connections and the forums have a decent how - to but i wanted to make the process postcard - accessible and more visual .
secret labs engineers and manufactures electronics platforms for software developers . our open - source netduino product line ( launched in 2010 ) is used by 10 , 000s of software developers worldwide as the basis for their custom electronics projects .
netduino and arduino both provide great introductions to microcontroller development for those looking to transition from software programming . at a high level , netduino can be a more approachable platform for casual experimentation , particularly if you have a background with the software , c # , . net , or visual studio . arduino provides a slightly steeper learning curve with its ide but has a bigger community for support and more flexibility should you want to take a prototype into production .
and its very expandable just like the arduino ! 3rd - party accessories offer pre - built functionality like gps location , servo control and battery power . netduino is also pin - compatible with arduino shields . 3rd - party drivers are required for some arduino shields . design files included . netduino is an open source electronics platform . all design files and source code are included . learn from the designs . remix , and enjoy the freedom of open source .
these 3d printable baseboards have mounting holes for a netduino plus space for a half - size breadboard . you may find it helpful to ream the holes with a 3 . 2mm ( 1 / 8” ) drill bit after printing .
the netduino mini can accept 5v ttl signals . it sends 3 . 3v signals . . . some but not all 5v ttl cables will understand these signals . so we recommend 3 . 3v cables , but technically 5v may work .
the netduino go starter kit is a plug and play component set with arduino shield compatibility targeted towards education , but also popular with engineers and hobbyists . this starter pack comes with all the necessary parts to hit the ground running with netduino go . included is the go mainboard , the shield base , a button module , a potentiometer module , an rgb led module , 4 go cables , and a 3 ' microusb cable to connect to a computer for programming and power .
netduino is an electronics platform which software and electrical engineers can use to prototype new electronics products . it is also used extensively in education and for personal projects . netduino is assembled in the usa , uses premium components , and is designed for limited commercial / industrial use in addition to personal use . using c # it offers a rich feature set and a world - class microsoft ide which debugs via usb . many customers embed netduinos inside their products ( versus competing offerings ) .
the netduino requires voltage from 7 . 5v to 12v with the plug having a center positive pole . the power can be supplied using a ac - to - dc adapter with 5 . 5mm by 2 . 1mm outer / inner plug .
hi test123 , welcome to the netduino community . it could be that you don ' t use the correct bitrate . what settings do you use at this moment ? if i ' m not misstaken , the default bitrate should be 115200 .
hi , i have been trying to debug the code from visual studio 2010 and using it to deploy to a netduino plus 2 , however i am getting deployment errors that does not go away even after power cycles and resetting the dev board .
long - term , i would expect the netduino go to also have a very rich ecosystem of modules . plus , the potential of those individual modules is , in my opinion , greater , as the reall processing all happens on - module .
to get a glimpse of how its done , check out the basic ' getting started ' guide you can even now use the netduino on linux & mac computer using open source mono instead of . net and its very expandable just like the arduino !
ordered the netduino 2 and got a 2 plus ! very happy about the free upgrade . i love the fact that i can develop in c # rather than c / c + + . much more civilized language . great alternative to an arduino .
the netduino family is based on the cortex - m micro processor running the . net micro framework ( netmf ) v4 . 3 . development can be done on both windows , with visual studio , or with xamarin studio on mac os x . netduino is packed with io ; including 22 general purpose input / output ( gpio ) ports , 6 of which support hardware pulse width modulation ( pwm ) generation , 4 uarts ( serial communication ) , i2c , and spi ( serial peripheral interface bus ) .
surprisingly , i believe it’s correct . the schematic shows that it uses the enc28j60 ethernet controller [ datasheet ] which is 10base - t . the original netduino plus used a different controller ( the dm9161aep [ datasheet ] ) which supported 10 / 100 mbps .
christmas has come early ! now to come up with some bsod test cases thanks chris , and great work getting these netduino updates out for us right along side of the long awaited release of . net mf 4 . 2 rtm ( qfe2 ) . kudos ! steve
this post is how to quickly get up and running with your netduino go , based on chris walker’s getting started forum post , with some enhancements that i think will make it easier to get up and running , as chris’ post unfortunately leaves a few things out .
@ simon he ' s either really stupid for buying the netduino ip ( and all of cw ' s problems ) or he ' s got one heck of a legal shield from the nightmare . . . it ' ll be interesting to see how this plays out
input ! output ! interface with switches , sensors , leds , serial devices , and more . netduino offers 22 gpios combined with spi , i2c , 2 uarts ( 1 rts / cts ) , 4 pwm channels and 6 adc channels . code ! debug ! repeat !
once you have all this together you need to be able to deploy the code to your netduino . deploying the code is easy , simply hit f5 in visual studio and that should send it off to your device . from there you can see how well it works .
the netduino plus 2 has four times the speed ( 168mhz ) , six times the code space ( 384kb ) , and twice the available ram ( 100kb + ) of netduino plus 1 . they’ve also given it a whole series of rich new features like four serial ports , six pwm channels and 12 - bit adc . the 6 - pin icsp header has been swapped out for a 10 - pin minijtag header . the goal is to enable developers to compile their own firmware using gcc and debug both native and managed code at the same time .
the netduino may be powered by an ac - to - dc power adapter with a standard 5 . 5mm ( outer ) / 2 . 1mm ( inner ) plug . allowable voltages are from 7 . 5v to 12v , and the plug polarity must be center pole positive .
the hardware came in a number of classic netduino blue boxes , with each board and module inside packaged in quality esd - proof bags . secret labs has always had a good unboxing experience . i ' ve also really like these bags as they just seem to be quality .
i previously had installed the . net microframework 4 . 2 sdk , so i didn ' t have to mess around with that . i won ' t cover much of installation here , as the full netduino go sdk wasn ' t yet ready when i got the hardware .
the book chris walker wrote about
getting started with netduino
is still available on amazon as someone recently pointed out . i know that it ' s old and not likely to get much attention anymore but i posted a bunch of comments in the reviews stating the following :
now i just have the netduino for now , so i haven ' t got any attachments . if i was a hardware guy , i ' m sure i ' d go try to take apart a toaster or remote control and declare something like
this toaster just needs a one ohm resister on pin - out 5a so i can invert the voltage and it ' ll toast bread over bluetooth
but i have no idea what that means . all i can do with the netduino out of the box to flash its led , as pete points out :
this would allow c # programmer to create their own driver in c # and not have to deal with any native c / c + + code . i think this feature will make netduino unique compare to other products out there . i strongly suggest that this feature gets implemented .
plug the rgb led into any socket on the main board . ( netduino go doesn ' t require you to match socket ids or letters or anything ) . i used socket 8 in the example here . if you choose a different socket , just indicate that in the code .
before the go was introduces , i was looking at creating a number of modules for the . net gadgeteer ( i still am ) . in each case , those modules requires an on - module processor to handle things like multiplexing many inputs , handling some logic specific to the board , or something else . the on - module processor approach is actually one of the best ways to scale out a solution whether you ' re using the netduino or the . net gadgeteer . the netduino go approach simply formalized it and provides tested code you can use to get started .
if you use a mac or a linux computer , the mono project provides an alternative set of . net programming tools . while the examples in this book use microsoft’s visual studio express tools , appendix b explains how you can program a netduino using mono on a mac or linux computer .
arduino became so popular that it spawned a number of projects that have taken its open - source form factor and extended the functionality . one such project is netduino , a microcontroller platform that is pin - compatible with many arduino shields , but it is based on the . net micro framework .
in this picture , note how the netduino has blue leds lit next to each active socket . this helps you visually confirm which socket your drivers are using . the tiny blue leds aren ' t as bright as they appear in this photo , that ' s just my camera being annoying .
if you already know about arduino then the answer to this question is quite simple . it’s an arduino programmable in . net . otherwise , netduino is a prototyping platform based on the . net micro framework . it uses a 32 - bit arm microcontroller and compatible with most of the arduino shields .
clint sent me a
netduino
board today . it ' s similar to an arduino board , except it uses the . net micro framework . micro you say ? that ' s techie - speak for
tiny ass framework .
i spoke to colin miller about this earlier in the year on video at channel 9 .
the netduino currently has provision only for usb power ( although i understand there may be an adapter coming ) , provided directly on the main board . the gadgeteer always has the power provided by a separate module , always colored red . the source of that power can be an adapter , usb , batteries , or something else .
even though there is lots of example code for neopixels for avr , propeller and pic chips , it ' s a bit of challenge getting these leds to work with the netduino . with the default firmware of the netduino ( any variation , plus or no ) , it is not possible to send data to neopixels . the reason is due to the special high - timing - specific nature of the data sent to the pixels . neopixels , or ws2812 / ws2811 , use a single wire protocol that encodes bits as pulses , the time width of the pulses determine whether each bit is a binary 1 or 0 . the following is a screenshot from the ws2812 datasheet .
