Gadgeteer sets out rules about how hardware devices packaged as add-on modules may connect to the mainboard, using solderless push-on connectors. Gadgeteer includes a small class library to simplify the implementation details for integrating these add-on modules into a system. It is a way of assigning the plethora of functions that a microcontroller provides to sockets that have a standardized, small set of interfaces at the hardware level.http://www.mountaineer.org/mountaineer-platform/ The .NET Gadgeteer Platform Mountaineer 2014-04-19 2014-04-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20140419170424/http://www.mountaineer.org/mountaineer-platform/ dead History and licensing .NET Gadgeteer was created by researchers at Microsoft Research Cambridge, where the Sensors and Devices group created it as a way develop device ideas rapidly and iteratively. It quickly generated interest from hobbyists, teachers, and developers, who wanted a platform to build gadgets in a short time.http://gadgeteer.codeplex.com/ Introducing .NET Gadgeteer!

The core libraries are published under the Apache 2.0 License, while the hardware designs are under the Creative Commons 3.0 License. The core source code is publicly available from the CodePlex source repository. Microsoft has stated plans to continue supporting and investing in the .NET Gadgeteer ecosystem, including hosting educational materials and working with companies to create compatible kits and modules. Design and construction thumb|alt=Sytech .NET Gadgeteer mainboard and GHI button module.|.NET Gadgeteer mainboard and button module .NET Gadgeteer projects consist of a mainboard and a series of modules connected via a standard 10 pin connector. The mainboard sockets can support one or more different types of modules, shown by a series of letters next to the socket. Each module has a letter showing its module type. (Connecting modules incorrectly does not harm the hardware – providing only one red power module is used). Any module that supplies power (via USB, DC or battery) is coloured red to help prevent multiple power sources that can potentially harm the devices. The Gadgeteer library includes a layer of event-driven drivers and code generation, which integrates with Visual Studio. This enables developers to visually create a diagram in Visual Studio of which hardware modules (for instance, a camera module, button module and screen module) are connected to which sockets on the mainboard, and the Gadgeteer SDK then auto-generates code creating object instances for all the relevant hardware. In this way the developer can immediately begin writing .NET code targeting the connected hardware.Hodges Steve Taylor Stuart Villar Nicolas Scott James Bial Dominik Fischer Patrick February 2013 Prototyping Connected Devices for the Internet of Things https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/06357162.pdf IEEE Computer 46 2 26–34 10.1109/MC.2012.394 2013Compr..46b..26H 12629843 Many different modules are currently available for a series of hardware vendors, including wireless transmission, environment sensors, actuators and custom community modules resulting in a large ecosystem of projects.Steve Clayton http://blogs.technet.com/b/next/archive/2012/02/15/what-we-didn-t-show-you-at-ces-microsoft-s-net-gadgeteer.aspx What we didn't show you at CES: Microsoft's .NET Gadgeteer Blogs.technet.com 2012-02-15 2012-05-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20120414034022/http://blogs.technet.com/b/next/archive/2012/02/15/what-we-didn-t-show-you-at-ces-microsoft-s-net-gadgeteer.aspx 2012-04-14 dead https://www.engadget.com/2011/08/03/microsoft-researchs-net-gadgeteer-steps-out-into-the-light-sh/ Microsoft Research's .NET Gadgeteer steps out into the light, shoots daggers at Arduino 4 August 2011 Engadget.com 2012-05-15http://www.slashgear.com/net-gadgeteer-looks-to-draw-tinkering-geeks-away-from-arduino-04169531/ NET Gadgeteer looks to draw tinkering geeks away from Arduino 4 August 2011 Slashgear.com 2012-05-15Pawel Piejko http://www.gizmag.com/net-gadgeteer-microsoft-toolkit/19437/ NET Gadgeteer - Microsoft's open-source toolkit for building gadgets Gizmag.com 2011-08-07 2012-05-15http://devhammer.net/blog/what-can-you-do-with-.net-gadgeteer What Can You Do with .NET Gadgeteer?
