Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a suitable training kit for .NET and embedded development, specifically focusing on C# applications that can interface with microcontrollers or robotics. Participants explore the compatibility of .NET with embedded systems and seek high-tech training options.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about training kits that combine C# with embedded systems, emphasizing the need for high-tech applications.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the feasibility of using .NET for embedded systems, noting that .NET typically requires Windows and may not be suitable for microcontrollers.
  • A different participant mentions an existing .NET course that focuses on creating Windows applications with databases but seeks to enhance it with robotics integration.
  • One participant suggests a specific training kit related to robotics, providing a link to a resource that may be relevant.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the compatibility of .NET with embedded systems, with some expressing doubts while others seek ways to integrate the two. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best training kit options.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the definitions of "embedded" and the specific requirements for high-tech applications, as well as the potential dependency on operating systems for .NET.

Hi all,

I work for a software house in the Netherlands. I am between assignments right now. And I am searching for some kind of cursus/training kit for our division.
My manager asked me if I could find out if there is somewhere a training kit with C# for our high tech division. For example a C# application in combination with a micro controller or something. It has to be something high tech (embedded).
Does anybody know a .net / embedded training kit ?

Embedded .net?
Rather depends what you mean by embedded but .net requires windows (XP or newer), I'm not even sure how much of it runs on XP-embedded, it isn't going to run on a microcontroller.
There are unofficial ports of .net to linux (mono) which might run on an ARM but really c# and embedded aren't a good match
 
Hi,

We (our software house) has a .net cursus. But this cursus is not high tech related. In this cursus you have to make a windows application using C#. With the help of a database.

I would like to make this cursus more high tech. For example a windows application in combination with Robotics or something?! I know lego mindstorms has some nice training kits. But most of them are with a microcontroller using C. I would like to know if there is something like a robotics or somethings, which can be controlled with a microcontroller(C) and a windows application (C#). This is just a example...
 
For example this training kit:
