Have you ever wanted to build a robot? How about powering it and controlling it completely with C# and .NET? With Monkey.Robotics it is now completely possible. Come learn how Monkey.Robotics simplifies the tasks of building complex .NET Microframework power robots and how you can communicate with them from iOS and Android apps powered by Xamarin. We will take a look at the process of building a robot from start to finish. Then we will implement the microcontroller stack to communicate with sensors and other hardware on a Netduino. Then we will build out a full iOS and Android app in C# to control it!

C# Powered Robots, C# Powered Mobile Apps
- 2. The World of Robots!
- 3. We are going to build this!
- 4. Programing Said Robots • Arduino – Runs Arduino Software – Code in C/C++ – IDE: open-source Ardunio Software IDE • Windows/OS X/Linux • Netduino – Compatible with Arduino Hardware Ecosystem – Much more powerful – Runs Netduino Software – .NET Micro Framework!!! – Code in C# with .NET – Code in Visual Studio or Xamarin Studio!
- 5. Robot Coding in Visual Studio! • Step 1: – Install .NET Micro Framework SDK • Step 2: – Install VS 2015 .NET Micro Framework Project System • Step 3: – Install Netduino SDK v4.3.1 http://forums.netduino.com/index.php?/topic/10201-beta-visual-studio-2013-support/
- 6. We did it!
- 7. Interacting with the netduino • Built in – User LED – Button • You can add more! – BLE – Wi-Fi – DC Motors – Accelerometers – Other awesome stuff http://www.netduino.com/netduino2/specs.htm
- 8. Access “Ports” • InputPort – Read only – Is LED on? – Digital • OutputPort – Write Only – Turn LED On – Digital • InterruptPort – Input Port – Notified on Change • Events! • Analog Port – Input Port – Analog (values 0 – 1000) – Microphone
- 9. Blink that light! Tim & Eric
- 10. Robots in C#
- 12. What’s Included • Micro Stack – Runs on Netduino – Follows “Reactive Programming” – Low-level Hardware Abstraction – Sensor & Peripheral Library
- 13. Built on Blocks • Everything is a Block • C# Class • Represent Devices – Sensors – Motors – Generators – Specialized Blocks LED Button in out in out DC Motor in out
- 14. Blocks in Block in Blocks Button in out My Block in out LED in out Left Motor in out Right Motor in out
- 15. Scopes • Scope : Block – Listen in on signals – Do interesting things – Like: • Log Data • Transform Data • Etc.
- 17. Xamarin’s Unique Approach Native with Code Sharing
- 18. What’s Included • Mobile Stack – Low-level BLE API – Messaging Framework – Peripheral Libraries
- 19. On Netduino – Create Server, Expose Variables
- 20. On Mobile – Find Devices
- 21. On Mobile – Connect to Devices
- 22. On Mobile – Send Variable Updates
- 23. Controlling Robots from C# Powered Apps!
