M3 2014 - Workshop on Mbed NXP LPC1768 Based on ARM Cortex ? M3

With the falling costs and increasing complexities of processors, microcontrollers are becoming cheaper, more powerful, and more interactive. MCUs are now truly solutions looking for problems, where anyone could conceive a microcontroller application. The problem until now has been turning the idea into a prototype quickly and experimenting with the technology. ARM has changed this with mbed, a rapid prototyping platform designed to simplify getting started with microcontrollers using a web based compiler, optional abstracted libraries for easy peripheral programming, and a very simple drag-and-drop interface.
This Workshop includes hands-on exercises using the ARM Cortex-M3-based NXP LPC1768 mbed module, online compiler and its interfacing with other external components such as LCD & sensors.
