netduino Plus (.NET-programmable microcontroller with Ethernet)

The Netduino Plus is an open-source electronics platform powered by a 32-bit microcontroller running the .NET Micro Framework. It combines the Netduino's GPIO capabilities with built-in Ethernet and a microSD card slot, providing network connectivity and file storage out of the box.

Program in C# using Visual Studio with full debugging support including breakpoints, line-by-line stepping, and multi-threading. The board is pin-compatible with Arduino shields, expanding its functionality with third-party accessories (some shields may require third-party drivers).
