Quail Board

Product Code: MIKROE-1793

Overview A MikroBUS.NET and MikroElektronika collaboration Quail is produced by MikroElektronika, but the idea and design of the board was done by MikroBUS.NET, a team of software and hardware professionals from France. The core idea behind Quail was to empower embedded developers with the same modern tools and technologies used by those who develop desktop applications. On the flip-side, Quail also allows desktop .NET programmers to delve into the world of hardware development, with ease. For more information about the MikroBUS.NET team, visit their site. The page also contains a detailed getting-started guide. Software requirements Quail requires three pieces of software to run. 1. Microsoft .NET Micro framework. Open source platform that enables you to write managed C# code for embedded applications. 2. Visual Studio Community 2013 [visit site]. A full-featured free cross-platform IDE from Microsoft. 3.
