Can you guess what it is yet?

We're putting together a little demo using the new mbed NXP LPC11U24. Here are a couple of shots of it in prototype:

Rapid Migration of 8051 to mbed Cortex-M0 Microcontroller

Jim Carver, Technical Director of Advanced Processor Architectures at Avnet Electronics, has just sent us a link to an interesting presentation he put together about migrating an existing 8051 based NXP RGB LED board to the ARM Cortex-M0 using the new mbed LPC11U24 microcontroller.

First batch of mbed NXP LPC11U24's in distributors now!

Order and mbed Microcontroller

Our first batch of the mbed NXP LPC11U24 Microcontroller are now officially available! Order one here!

mbed NXP LPC11U24 pinout

This latest mbed is designed for prototyping USB devices, battery powered applications, and 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 designs, and will be a great little brother to our existing mbed NXP LPC1768 Microcontroller.

Here are the specifications, some of the libraries we've built for you, and some examples of it in action:

mbed at Make: Tokyo Meeting 07!

O'Reilly Japan held Make: Tokyo Meeting 07 (MTM07)) at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in the Meguro district on 3rd and 4th December 2011. Makers exhibited, performed, and offered workshops over a weekend to showcase and inspire others with their development projects.

Tedd OKANO was there and has written a great summary for those who weren't lucky enough to experience it...See how many mbed's you can spot!

Manufacturing mbed!

The first batch of mbed NXP LPC11U24 have now made it through production! It made me reflect on the journey from concept to release, so I thought it might be interesting to take another look behind the scenes, this time at maufacturing.

EMC Testing mbed

The mbed NXP LPC11U24 is now entering its final stages of testing before release. The hardware is good, the libraries are good, production test is in place, and so it is time to do some more formal testing. Last week I booked an hour in the anechoic chamber at dB Technology to see what the radiated emission characteristics of mbed NXP LPC11U24 look like.

USBMouse and USBKeyboard with the new Cortex-M0 mbed!

You've probably seen we've got a new mbed Microcontroller on its way, based on the upcoming Cortex-M0 LPC11U24 from NXP.

What you perhaps didn't realise is quite how great this is going to be for building USB devices!

HTML5 for Microcontrollers!

HTML5 already holds some pretty exciting prospects for web application developers, but there is no reason why it should stop there. If you can get microcontrollers to start talking the same language too, the opportunities for the Internet of Things enabled by HTML5 could be amazing!

This project shows an early glimpse of how you can build Internet of Things sensors with mbed that can be quickly deployed using just a smartphone, and transmit their real-time sensor data to a server that can be visualised on different clients, all using these new HTML5 web standards:

You can see immediately from the demo just how natural the deployment and interaction feel, and why HTML5 could be a key enabler in the Internet of Things.

New Cortex-M0 mbed caught having a snooze!

Here is the new Cortex-m0 board being sent to sleep, woken up by a button to increment and update a screen, then going back to sleep:

It is running from a couple of AA's, and takes a couple of mA when not doing anything.
