.NET Gadgeteer
Please visit the main .NET Gadgeteer website for up-to-date information about this project, including public availability of hardware, projects and documentation.
If you are interested in learning more about the open-source project, or are a hardware designer looking for details about developing your own .NET Gadgeteer-compatible modules, please visit the .NET Gadgeteer Codeplex website.
Finally, this Microsoft Research article provides some background to the project.
Microsoft .NET Gadgeteer is a rapid prototyping platform for small electronic gadgets and embedded hardware devices. It combines the advantages of object-oriented programming, solderless assembly of electronics using a kit of hardware modules, and quick physical enclosure fabrication using computer-aided design.
Individual .NET Gadgeteer modules can be easily connected together to construct both simple and sophisticated devices. Each module adds some extra capabilities, such as the ability to display images, playback sounds, take pictures, sense the environment, communicate with other devices or enable user interaction.
The platform is built on the .NET Micro Framework, which allows small devices to be programmed in the C# language and make use of Visual Studio’s programming and debugging tools.
This powerful combination allows fully functional devices to be prototyped in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks.
