Rapid electronics prototyping kit for learning and hobbyists Electronics News
MICROSOFT has released a new rapid prototyping toolkit called .NET Gadgeteer, allowing users to put together small gadgets in hours.
At the moment, there are kits which allow the use of the .NET Gadgeteer modules to be put together to create an MP3 player, digital camera and a mini arcade cabinet.
The core of the kit is a circuit board with an embedded processor and sockets which can be connected to modules. Modules include sensors, switches, displays, motor controllers, cameras, LEDs, buttons and I/O interfaces.
No soldering is required.
.NET Gadgeteer modules are programmed in C# using the .NET Micro Framework, and Microsoft has a site to share the open source code from its various users.
Target users include hobbyists, teachers, researchers and professional prototypers.
