Product description
Netduino Plus 2 has four times the speed (168MHz), six times the code space (384KB) and more than twice the available RAM (100KB+) when compared to Netduino Plus 1.
Some of the new features
-168MHz Cortex-M4 microcontroller + floating-point unit
- 384KB of code space and 100KB+ of RAM enables even richer apps (this was the #1 request from our users)
- 6+ PWMs to support servo/motor shields (2 more than before, and 1-2 can be used as 32-bit PWM)
o Onboard blue LED is now also PWM-enabled
" 12-bit ADC (upgrade from 10-bit)
o Bulk smoothing caps on 3.3V rail also provide enhanced stability for ADC readings
" 4 UARTs/SerialPorts (2 more than before)
" 3.3V DC-DC switch (upgrade from LDO regulator)
" Power headers can be turned on/off via software...to reset or shut down shields on the fly.
" Native C/C++ hackers: MiniJTAG and integrated bootloader deployment, can use full 1MB of flash and 192KB RAM
We have designed Netduino Plus 2 to be backwards compatible with Netduino Plus 1 for most applications. Most existing Netduino apps should work as-is. It maintains 5V tolerance for digital I/O, so it does not require new shields (unlike Arduino Due for example, which requires 3.3V/Rev C shields).
Netduino Plus 2 is also perfect for C/C++ hackers who are stepping up from Arduino or other electronics boards. It has twice the flash, twice the RAM, and twice the speed of Arduino Due - plus Ethernet and MicroSD - for only $10 more.
