• How do you determine how many sensors a microcontroller can use?
• My understand is you cant embed C# directly on any microcontroller but you can use C# and communicate over the USB and look for a specific port is this true?

In my case i've narrowed down to the three following microcontrollers:

• Arduino
• Netdurino
• AVR

This is what I'm trying to do as a first project and of course, this might not be an easy project.

I want to be able to hook up a thermometer and when the degrees get +-3 of a base temperature open or close a prop window. Also, I want to be able to store the thermoeter information on a Mysql Database.

So basically if the base temperature is 80, when the temperature is greater than 83 I want to push open the window. And if its 77 I want to close the window.

Im not to interested in the exact mechanism that opens and close the windows just how to send the signals to open or close it.

Please be kind I have a bunch of questions i'm unable to completely nail down.

Yeah this might be a bit ambitious but oh well.
