This was second mbed user meeting held in Japan after the initial mbed fest in October 2010.
There were 21 attendees and 5 presenters and it was very nice user meeting and exciting experience for all. We also arranged a live stream the event, allowing others to remotely enjoy the meeting as well.
The user meeting began with a video message from the mbed team in the UK. It was great to find out what is going on with mbed.org, and we expect a lot in future!
There were six presentations
- NXP : “What is mbed?”
- : “Geiger Counter Kit and its prototype board”
- : “BlackOne” an all-in-one mbed/LPCXpresso baseboard
- A. Saito : Cortex-M0, iOS – example of an Arduino-API implemented on an M0 board working with a smart-phone
- : “NANDethno Pocket mbed” a base board for mbed
- (who hosted this event) : “mbed and I”
Additionally, three people presented their projects in lightning-talk sessions
- : Geiger Counter project and measurement results
- : mbed Sound Synthesizer
- : Timeline printer using mbed (automatic printing of tweets with specified hash tag)
A beginners hands-on session was also done. Five people experienced how easy it is to start development and make a prototype quickly.
At the end of the user meeting – we held a lottery. Many prizes were given out including, 5 blue mbeds, 5 yellow mbeds, base boards, custom made M0 boards with LPCXpresso, RJ45 connectors with cables and a book of mbed primers. All prizes we’re kindly are provided from mbed team, NXP, and presenters.
After the meeting, we had a gathering (beer) party. Time flies so quickly.
I hope to have next meeting soon.
Thanks Okano-san for a great write-up and Mr. Junichi Katsu for sponsoring mbed fest 2012!
