FEZDuino Domino Analog Ports Tutorial
Introduction
This tutorial is is part of a series of tutorials geared towards the FEZDuino Domino controller. This controller is based on the .NET Micro Framework. All the code contained within this tutorial was created using the FEZDuino Domino board, VS.NET 2010 C# Express, and the .NET 4.1 Micro Framework.
Overview
For this tutorial we used the FEZDuino Domino connected to an available USB port on our development workstation. Furthermore, we used the DFRobot I/O Expansion shield and an analog sensor. In this case we used an ambient light sensor plugged into the I/O Expansion shield on an available analog port (port 0).

Sample Code
Debug.Print( "[TEST] : {AnalogTest} Starting..." );
Debug.Print( "[TEST] : {AnalogTest} Taking 10 sample readings from sensor on Analog Port 0" );
AnalogIn analogPortZero = new AnalogIn( AnalogIn.Pin.Ain0 );
int reading = -1;
for ( int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
{
reading = analogPortZero.Read();
Debug.Print( reading.ToString() );
Thread.Sleep( 1000 );
}
analogPortZero.Dispose();
Debug.Print( "[TEST] : {AnalogTest} Completed!" );
