Seeed Studio Netduino 2
Best embedded platform for developers using the .NET framework.
This board bridges the gap for developers who prefer the high-level coding power of the .NET framework over traditional low-level programming. While it sacrifices the raw, bare-metal control of other microcontrollers, it gains immense accessibility and rapid prototyping speed for those already fluent in C#.
