Welcome to TinyCLR.

FEZ Domino and FEZ Mini are very small (open source) boards targeted for beginners. They are based on the USBizi chipset and all it's features. FEZ offers many peripherals, such as USB host and SD interface, not available with hobbyist-targeted boards. Even though FEZ is targeted for beginners, it's also a low-cost starting point for professionals wanting to explore NETMF (.NET Micro Framework).

FEZ stands for "Freakin' Easy!"

FEZ offers many features not found in Arduino, BASIC STAMP and others:

1. Based on Microsoft's .NET Micro Framework.
2. Runs on 72Mhz NXP ARM processors.
3. Supports runtime debugging (breakpoints, variable inspection, stepping, etc.)
4. Use Visual C# 2008 Express Edition for development.
5. Advanced capabilities like FAT, USB device and USB host.
6. Easily upgrades to hardware such as EMX.
7. Open source hardware design files.
8. Use existing shields and holder boards.
9. Based on the USBizi chipset (ideal for commercial use).
10. FEZ Mini is BS2 pin-out compatible with extra I/Os.
11. FEZ Domino is Arduino pin-out compatible with extra I/Os.

Whether using FEZ, our kits, or the many peripherals, the possibilities are endless.
