"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 only some what true, my pins run at 5v
(they are 5 volt compliant, but normally work at 3.3vdc)
I'm not sure, but I don't think you can do that with a analog pins.
"What was your project anyway"
It was a Hydroponic controller it had to control water, temp, PH, nutrients, Lights ect.
All at the same time ie. multitask (something arduino cant do)
"You may be a c sharp wiz but everyone else is not."
C# wizard, no hardly, but most programers use and like C#, so its easy to get the help you need,
and believe me I needed lots of it. Actually I like visual basic, its what most of us stared with as kids.
That's going to be fun to play with.
