To build the projects in the following chapters, you’ll need either a Netduino or Netduino Plus. If you have a Netduino Mini, most of these samples will work—but you’ll need to adjust the analog and digital pin numbers in your code to reflect the Netduino Mini’s form factor.
Note
Please note that Chapter 8 explores Internet-connected apps using Netduino Plus (which has a built-in Ethernet jack). It is also possible to add components to a “regular” Netduino or a Netduino Mini and connect to the Internet; refer to the online community for guidance on how to do that.
You’ll learn a few programming fundamentals as you progress through the chapters. Experienced programmers can skip those paragraphs if they so desire. My goal is to ensure that all readers gain the knowledge to successfully build their own electronics projects.
