Any netduino/arduino programmers out there?

My Netduino arrives tomorrow. If you don't know what it is, it's a microcontroller that you can program using the C# language and Microsoft's .Net Micro Framework. It's made to be compatible with hardware designed for the Arduino.

I've also ordered a waterproof digital thermostat and some other odds and ends. I'd like to make a "super" temperature controller for fermentation:
-load fermentation profiles for different styles
-create smooth ramp-up and ramp-down slopes for temperature.
-log temp data
-be able to monitor temp status remotely

A few searches came up with some pre-existing projects that have some of what I want to do already. And this will be an open-source project.

Any other netduino or arduino programmers on this forum?

I know Drew is into them.  I'm interested, but haven't pulled the trigger.

anday6:
+1, this would be a really cool project.  I'll be watching this thread for ideas.

An engineer gave me a controller with that programming language. It comes with a "beer" temp controller program. There are a few bugs I am working out in it. I'll let you know when I get it done.

This is the temperature sensor I ordered: Waterproof DS18B20 Digital temperature sensor

I don't get it until Tuesday, so I'll spend the weekend going over the libraries already out there for reading this type of sensor.

I've already made one mistake by buying the cheapest model netduino ($35) so I had to pick up a $20 sd card reader. Pretty useless unless I can save user settings that will survive a power outage.

Once I understand how to read from the temp sensor I'll write something to simply log temperature data.
