Features:

  • Based on Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework

  • Runs on 72Mhz NXP ARM processors

  • Pin compatible with Arduino

  • Shield Compatable

  • It's freakin' easy to use!



More grunt for control loops, and pin compatible with Arduino shields. Looks like a winner to me.

    For me as a software guy the FEZ ("Freakin' Easy!") approach seems to have some advantages over the Arduino:
    - Decent IDE
    - Supports runtime debugging
    - Supports threading

    So what are the disadvantages of the .NET Micro Framework, the USBizi chipset and the FEZ embedded system (I know there is some Microsoft technology involved)?
