"The netduino's i/o is weaker though, which is one reason people stick with Arduinos."
How so, the pin layout is the same, are you saying the arduino is faster, maybe idk but a nanosecond here there shouldn't mater on most projects.I think he means "weaker" as in less power. Arduino pins can drive up to 20 MA at 5V; the Netduino's pins are 3.3V and some of the analog pins can only do 2mA.
That's exactly what I meant.
Also if your only concern is i/o then you have the wrong product, you should be using a phidget and not a microcontroller.
Nonsense. If I want something permanently stuck to a PC, then a dumb device might be appropriate, but an Arduino can run standalone, and can better interface with other devices than the netduino.
I'm beginning to think your thread title might not be entirely true.
