Arduino official Manual .. and also, use of C#

Projects Programming

Hello.,

I would like to know, Where can I download an Arduino Manual? (preferably an official manual)

(on the other hand, please tell me., Is it possible to use C# language to program inside of Arduino IDE?

In advance, thank you very much.

There is no manual that I have seen. All the stuff is online. And do you mean hardware or software?

C# is not a language that you can use in the IDE or to program the Arduino at all.

marco_c:
C# is not a language that you can use in the IDE or to program the Arduino at all.

And even if you could, after the JIT compiler was loaded, you'd have about 12 bytes of RAM left for your program....

Where can I download an Arduino Manual?

What there is (afaik) is included in the IDE download in the "reference" directory.
It's all HTML, and duplicates the "Learning/Reference" page on the website. It doesn't fully document C, avr-libc, or C++, just the pieces that are seen as important to beginners, and the specific arduino library functions.

Real arduinos will not run C#, but there have been a couple similar boards that do. Notably, "Netduino": http://www.netduino.com/hardware/ Ray's comment is appropriate: the latest netduino boards use a microcontroller with 1MB of flash memory, and they have ~384kB left for your programs once the .net framework is loaded on them :frowning: (Still, since the end prices are close to the much smaller arduinos, you might not care.)

You can, of course, communicate with the Arduino using the Serial object. My guess is that if you search the Code Project web site you can find C# code for the Arduino. I just searched "Arduino and C#" and was returned 205 results. Perhaps one of those will help.

Thank you very much.
Best regards.
