Why use an NXP LPC1768 ARM MCU?


If you ever need to explain to someone why they should be using an NXP LPC1768 ARM Cortex MCU in their next product, as found on mbed, just send them this video!...

(I think) this was created by ccutchy. Even if you don't speak Japanese, it certainly gets the message across! Brilliant.

...this is the first song i've ever seen about an ARM MCU. Anyone want to make an mbed music video? :)

WTF WTF WTF

dislike.

I thought this was something interesting. I didn't like it at all. Sorry :S

?

YEEAAAHHH!

29 Jan 2011

Of course! It all makes sense now.

:)

btw. If you click through to YouTube, there is an english transcript option to the right of the description, under the video.

Still can't quite believe there is a music video for an MCU! And it is really well animated. Awesome job ccutchy...

Que pedo con el video, esta medio cagado, pero aun así el micro esta de huevos.

29 Jan 2011

I fail to understand what's the message here, besides the fact that a scarcely dressed anime girl loves cortex m3 micros

That might appeal to the Asian market but that little jingle was quite annoying to me. Try some Rammstein in your next video.

I'm Japanese and I found it sounds me like a traditional and old-days TV advertise CM film in Japan.

Though, the catchy innovation in this video is the singer is a "Vocaloid" which is not a human but computer-synthesized human voice.

As all of you feel annoying, I'm agree that it is only for appeal to senior engineers by the reason of old fashioned song, but the illustration of a schoolgirl is not fit to this concept. Then, we can only accept this as this kind of mismatching with a little smile and say "so what?". :)

Grumpy lot of comments there for a breezy little video.

If I read it right, and they created the Anime voice (Vocaloid) using this system then that is a very neat trick.

Even if they just used it to control an existing synthesiser, then it's still neat.

I think it's impressive.

Great chip, silly video. I don't think anyone will select and design with this chip by the influence of this video, at least outside Japan.

29 Jan 2011

I like :) Very original :)

29 Jan 2011

I thought the 'LPC-17 BASIC' was a nice touch ...

29 Jan 2011

Pffft my friends don't like this... So the page with youtube movies from users with examples are MORE interesting!

29 Jan 2011

Lighten up fellow Engineers. Loved this.

29 Jan 2011

Hey guys and gals ... Lighten up!

MCUs might be sexy enough for us on their own, but they don't do anything for the 99% of ordinary (well balanced) people (maybe that's 99.993%). MBED is supposed to cross disciplines, and this doe it in buckets.

... And it does it by using that old trick "FUN"! (Look it up on WikiPedia). I know it has fallen out of fashion in grown-ups scientific circles.

Seriously though: A recent scientific survey did warn that whilst FUN is cheap and readily available; it can be just as addictive as 'recreational' drugs, it will change your personality and will ruin your sex-life (Try making love whilst laughing out loud!).

... So take care to use it in moderation.

Cheers.ian

The guys behind the EFM32 Cortex-M3 microcontroller also did a pre-christmas "song" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoQVQCsxMvU ), and it seems like Cortex-M3 in overall is much more FUN than other MCUs!

29 Jan 2011

I thought it was funny! Nice job. If this appeals to people with an unusual sense of humor, gets them interested in mbed, and brings them here then great! We are going to have an even more fun community of users!

EFM32 with their product until now are good for low power consumption solution. like medical device or similar where requirement for single battery is need.

TI MCU Cortex-M3 added the emmeded RTOS on chip it seems to be good for RTOS solutions devices.

The PSoC5 is perfect combination for analog digital and verilog code. You cannot beat this combination with any other MCU.

The mbed is perfect for fast prototype and after my drop out of LPCxpresso and start work with mbed cloud compiler I discover it potential fastest development. Really the best and fast option until now. It shared library are perfect and novel in this area. So to sum up all other manifacturer like ST, Nuvoton etc are just follow but nothing special to above competitor. The point here what really you need. Every company tried to attract to their product but their really need to tell the people why it is better. I think personally the mbed is costly but really offer the best time to finish prototype. I am sure you will be impress with my submission for mbed contest. I try to keep silent tone this time, because of my previous NXP Cortex-M0 contest was really disapoint me, even my project arive back with cut cables. Now I am sure that Circuit Cellar will manage properly all entries for mbed Challenge.

Video ;->, music :-(, I like mbed :-) :-) :-) :-). Very good ummmmm tac-tac-tac-

Just signed on to stop any other junk like this being sent to me and a block on e-mails.

Utter junk!

It sorta' loses something in the translation. They love this sort of stuff in Japan. Not so much here in Amerika.

Is everyone comfy-cozy back in their little box now? Would hate to see a bit of foreign culture destroy your fragile little worlds...! =P

I wonder if any of the flamers read Toshiyuki Kamada's post... probably not since it is more common to simply spew one's ignorance than it is to self-educate and re-evaluate.

Hopefully Simon won't be so put off as to not share fun, m-bed related finds in the future!

Is not about the culture, is about the video for person under 10 years old. If you like to post this video you should put it the header that it is for kids. This is my opinion. So if you post it like that everyone can say their opinion. Personaly all the effort on the video was fine, but it for kid :)))

Great video, Ccutchy! Made me laugh, a rarity in this business. The rest of you grumpy old guys need to, in the words of my 15 year old son, "take a chill pill and do some chillaxin'". This is not a video for a person under 10 years old. Anime is enjoyed by people in Japan of all ages.

13 Feb 2011

I am agree with you that the anime in Japan is enjoyed by all ages, it is because it is very low cost for them to create any personality/character. This is why after so many decades in tv industry instead of use real humans which need to be found and also paid they prefare many times to use anime and this why it comes to be natural for Japan population.
