The ARM controller is a rising star by all definitions. If you want to learn C and how to use an mbed ARM microcontroller in an easy and fun way without the need for cumbersome software installations, this the perfect book to jump the ARM bandwagon, specifically the popular NXP LPC1768 micro.

 

The projects in this book aim at beginners in C and ARM microcontrollers. That doesn't mean the projects are simple, but it does mean that they are easy to understand. For example USB communications is discussed, a subject that’s made easy enough by the mbed to allow its use in a beginners book.

 

The mbed NXP LPC1768 uses cloud technology, a revolutionary concept in software development. Consequently you do not need to install software on your PC in order to program the mbed!

 

The only thing you need is a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, and a USB port on your PC. You can get access to your project from any PC anywhere in the world and continue working on it. When you are done a few simple mouse clicks transfer the program to your mbed hardware. Of course you can optionally download the projects and store them on your own PC.

 

Features of this book

- Learn how to program an mbed ARM microcontroller using cloud technology. No complicated software installation on your PC needed.

- Learn programming in C by doing fun and interesting projects. No previous experience or knowledge required.

- Examples of projects in this book: flashing light, timer, light activated switch, digital thermometer, people detector, USB communication, talking microcontroller, debugging, sound switch, and much more -- 35 projects in all.

- Examples of C subjects in this book: variables, commands, functions, program execution, pointers (introduction).

 

What you need

- A PC with a USB port, internet connection and a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

- The free download that contains for example the project source codes.

- The hardware introduction package to get started quickly, available from Elektor.

 

The book and the associated Starter Kit are available at a special bundle price

In this Distance Learning Course staged by the Elektor Academy you learn how to program an embedded microcontroller using Assembly, C and E-Blocks Flowcode. Starting off with the absolute basics the course soon goes into a lot of detail. After all, you cannot learn about software without understanding the hardware so a close look at the components and schematics in duly covered.

Gradually the course will become more complex as you move into the more advanced subjects. At the end of the course you will be able to design your own embedded applications and write the appropriate software for it. From a flashing LED to a USB controlled LCD screen, from analog signals to interrupt driven high frequency sound, from frequency sampling to a digital thermometer, you will master it all.

The course package consist of
Courseware Ring Binder (747 pages)
CD-ROM including software and example files
Application Board
Support at the Elektor Forum
Elektor Certificate

The normal price of the distance learning course is
