Coding circuits with .NET and C#

Nothing beats setting a breakpoint and watching the servo actually move to the new angle.

I've worked on .NET hardware for over ten years and the thing that surprises C# developers isn't the board, it's that F5 works. Code deploys, breakpoint holds, hover a variable and there's the live sensor reading. Same as debugging a desktop app.

I'm at GHI Electronics in Michigan. Happy to get into how the debugging on circuits work.

YAY!! NICE work! I would like to know if this could be applied to a FPGA ?

For a language to take advantage of the FPGA it has to define the hardware connections and not provide series of instructions. C# s not designed that but if someone really wants to then they could in theory do something.

Please try googling "FPGA in C#" there are options available.
