Today we are excited to release the third preview of our TinyCLR OS. It adds support for the G400, Visual Basic, and LCDs.
All you need to do to get going is make sure you have Visual Studio 2017, install the latest extension, update your device’s firmware, and drop the new NuGet packages in your local feed. If you’re just now getting started with TinyCLR or just want a quick refresh, take a look at the first news post for more information.
Some of the things that exist today in TinyCLR OS:
[ul]Stable preview firmware for G30, G80, G120, G400, and products based on them.
