Embedded Artists LPC812 MAX Experimenter Kit

Embedded Artists LPC812 MAX Experiment Kit is an easy to use ARM Cortex-M0+ rapid prototyping board that brings together the best of three platforms. The board combines the features of the LPCXpresso, mbed, and Arduino™ environments. The board is designed in partnership with mbed and developed by Embedded Artists. The LPCXpresso IDE support allows designers to program and debug the board using the on-board CMSIS-DAP interface, and no LPC-Link is needed. The LPCXpresso connector on the board is compatible with existing baseboards. When connected to a PC, the board will show up as a mass-storage device. Firmware images placed on it will be written to the LPC812 after a power cycle -- the same as mbed boards. The Arduino connectors on the LPC812 MAX board are compatible with the Arduino UNO platform. Several compatible expansion cards (shields) are available.

Embedded Artists LPC812 MAX Experiment Kit has been created as a guided tour to learn embedded programming with the mbed framework and the NXP’s LPC800 microcontroller family with Cortex-M0+ cores. The experiments are performed on a breadboard for maximum flexibility and ease of use. The kit requires an LPC812 MAX board (sold separately).
