Available drivers

The list of all drivers and their status is here.

Please note

More drivers will be added as soon as they are verified by TinyCLR 2.0. Those are the drivers tagged with the clock symbol 🕜 in the above list.

How to use our drivers

It's as simple as that :

• Create a TinyCLR application project in Visual Studio
• Add MBNCore.cs to your project
• Add the needed driver source as well, from the Drivers folder
• Use the example in the Examples folder as a start for your program
• That's all !

How it works

The main concept in MBN Core is "Sockets". Sockets designate the physical Mikrobus sockets available on different boards.

So far, the current boards are supported :

• MBN Ram (6 sockets)
• GHI SC20100 dev board (2 sockets)
• GHI SC20260 dev board (2 sockets)

Each socket has a number and is accessible in code using the following syntax :

_transmitter = new T4_20mAClick(Hardware.SocketOne);  // Socket #1 on Ram board
_receiver = new T4_20mAClick(Hardware.SC20260_1);  // Socket #1 on SC20260D board

Virtual sockets

If you don't use a Click module or if you connect it on the exposed headers, then you may ask 'which socket should I use ?!'

Answer is really simple : create your own virtual socket !

Imagine that the driver you want to use needs pins AN, RST, CS and INT. You would then create a virtual socket with those pins :

var virtualSocket = new Hardware.Socket
{
    AnPin = SC20260.GpioPin.PF10,
    Rst = SC20260.GpioPin.PI8,
    Cs = SC20260.GpioPin.PG12,
    Int = SC20260.GpioPin.PG6,
};

Then you pass that socket to the driver :

var _lcd = new DevantechLcd03(virtualSocket, 0xC8 >> 1);
var _lcdOnOff = GpioController.GetDefault().OpenPin(virtualSocket.Rst);
