Your own portable computing platform (laptop, small PC, etc.)
USB cable appropriate to connect #1 and #2
There will be a small fee for the class (all three sessions). I was thinking $5-10, enough to buy your instructor a beer. To make sure I’m not overwhelmed with students, I’m going to issue Eventbrite tickets and limit the # per class.
I have the first class penciled in for 7-9pm Nov 9th, and those who attend can help me determine the dates for the following classes. Anyone have a request for a different date?
[edit: Updated to clarify that the fee is for all three classroom sessions in this series. That’s how the CNC training works, etc.]
Was hoping it would be on Wednesday nights but Monday will work. I am looking forward to attending. Thanks for doing this class. I will be looking for the Eventbrite tickets announcement.
My friend Rick and I got the last two class slots this morning. Are we going to be using the classic mbed site at mbed.org instead of the new still-in-beta mbed IoT environment at mbed.com? I’m hoping it’s the classic.
Our boards should be here tomorrow. Oh well, there goes the rest of the week’s productivity…
I received my Nucleo board yesterday, but had a problem whereby the mass storage device wasn’t working. It showed up in device manager with the status of “couldn’t find the driver”.
After much banging of head on wall, my uber IT friend Bryan quickly found the following link that solved my problem. Turns out that somehow the ‘usbstor’ driver wasn’t installed??? The really strange thing is that my USB thumb drives as well as SD card reader have been working fine.
If you have the same problem, hopefully the instructions in the link below will resolve your issue also.
ST Micro has a new Discovery board available with the below features for $50!
The biggest draw for me is the included 4.3" LCD w/multi-touch panel. Nice to see both ethernet and USB OTG (for wireless). This is a supported mbed platform.
I’ve put in the scheduling for sessions 2 and 3 of the 3 session series:
11/18/2015 from 7pm-9pm in the purple classroom
11/23/2015 from 7pm-9pm in the interactive classroom
Your ticket gets you into all three sessions – nothing more to buy. We’ll see you there!
For those who didn’t make it into this series, I’ll be scheduling the next one in December. It will be preceded by an Intro to Embedded Programming which is a free class to see if you’re interested in the topic.
Reminder about the ARM Cortex-M class-- tickets are still available!
I’ve expanded this class from 3 sessions to 4, so that we can delve into SPI and I2C interfacing a little more deeply. For those of you who took my previous class, please see me if you’d like to attend this fourth class (no ticket required since you already did the class once).
One week until the Interactive class, and plenty of tickets available. No need to be shy, this class goes just deep enough to help you write your first programs on the mbed platform!
I picked up the second to last haha
