FEZ Cerbuino Bee
FEZ Cerbuino is for developers wanting a low-cost Arduino-compatible Gadgeteer-compatible mainboard. This open-source (OSHW) offer includes an on-board power connector, voltage regulators, MicroSD connector, USB host and USB Client connectors. Ready to plug-and-play using the included USB cable. The power of .NET Gadgeteer platform sockets is found on FEZ Cerbuino. These 3 gadgeteer-compatible sockets allow developers to seamlessly connect almost any of the Gadgeteer modules.
With .NET Micro Framework at its core, FEZ Cerbuino development is done though Visual Studio using C# of Visual Basic.
The XBee socket automatically brings all sorts of wireless options to the table, including WiFi and ZigBee. Note that there is a size restriction on the physical size of XBee modules that can be used. Whip antenna, chip antenna, UFL antenna fit well, but the ones with RPSMA connector do not. Also plan your XBee selection well if you are planning on using full-size shields.
