Beginner Kits

Hi Everyone,

I have looked high and low for a flexible micro controller with USB MIDI support and it appears mbed might be my best bet. However, I come from more of a code/musicians background and less electronics so I do not want to jump haphazardly into things.

Are there any beginners kits that include a typical mbed (drag and drop, online compiler, etc.) along with possibly a bread board, LEDs, motors, pots, etc.?

Hi Pure, you could try the mbed LPC1768 along with the MBED Application Board available here:

And for the motors control you can use the Simple motor controller from pololu available here:

Greetings, i hope this info help you
