Netduino

<p>Netduino was an <a href="/facts/Open-source/7X9rCdz4">open-source</a> electronics prototyping platform based on the <a href="/facts/.NET_Micro_Framework/334B92WM">.NET Micro Framework</a>. It uses the ARM Cortex-M <a href="/facts/32-bit/TDMVce8s">32-bit</a> <a href="/facts/Reduced_instruction_set_computer/aQbGM62p">RISC</a> <a href="/facts/ARM_architecture/SALsYA79">ARM</a> processor core as a <a href="/facts/32-bit/TDMVce8s">32-bit</a> <a href="/facts/ARM_architecture/SALsYA79">ARM</a>-<a href="/facts/Microcontroller/MKrnAhnm">microcontroller</a>. The Netduino <a href="/facts/Printed_circuit_board/muSR2p43">boards</a> (except the discontinued Mini and Go models) are designed to be pin-compatible with most <a href="/facts/Arduino/Ah1eKzyS">Arduino</a> shields.  Applications can be built on Windows (with Visual Studio), or on Mac OS (with Xamarin Studio). The platform is similar in concept to the Arduino platform, but is generally more powerful and instead of writing applications in C/C++ or Wiring (essentially, C++ without header files), applications are written in C#, which brings powerful, high-level language constructs to the toolbox such as threading, event handling, automatic garbage collection, and more.
