It’s a keychain? It’s a development platform? It’s mBuino!
.We are excited to share the Kickstarter launch of GHI Electronic's new mbed-enabled platform, mBuino. mBuino is a programmable mbed-enabled keychain that features an ARM® Cortex™-M0 50Mhz, UART, SPI, and I2C.
The ARM, Avnet, and Freescale IoT World Hackathon Challenge
.ARM, Avnet and Freescale are hosting a Hackathon at the IoT World Event next week (June 17-18) in Palo Alto, California at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Our hackathon challenge is to build on from the other IoT World Hackathon Challenges that should produce some compelling consumer and environmental IoT innovations. We want our hackathon participants to think outside the box and create projects which are interoperable with other teams; where at least part of your application works with part of an application from one (or more) of the other teams.
Time to Get Creative with the Freescale FRDM Boards
.Digi-Key, Freescale and ARM are hosting a European design contest to inspire developers to get creative with Freescale's FRDM development boards. If you have not already started developing with one of the FRDM boards, now is a great time to start. There are over ten boards to choose from within the FRDM family, but we would suggest using the FRDM-K64F, FRDM-KL05, FRDM-KL25Z, or the FRDM-KL46Z.

IBM teams up with mbed for IoT kit
Today at IBM impact, we will be previewing the first prototypes of the IoT starter kit we have been working on with IBM. Due to be released later this year, the kit includes an mbed enabled cellular platform and access to IBM IoT cloud, plus all necessary parts needed to run the first example programs right out of the box.
mbed Activity Roundup
.There has been a lot going on in the mbed Community lately, so I thought I would take a moment to roundup some of the recent developments, news and some of the upcoming events we’re going to be at. Also, a chance for you to provide some input on our future plans...
Software automation and the start of mbed’s new Testfarm!
.Not too long ago, Przemek (sh-em-ek) joined us to lead software automation for mbed. His task is a big one, but he has already made some great strides in developing the next version of our testing framework. I stopped by his desk to chat about how he was getting on, and took a few photos that I thought I might share.
Here is the man himself:
Print your own mbed circuit board with AgIC
.One of the key phases in product development is building your breadboard, however it can be a bit of a wiry mess and replicating it more than once can be one of the many frustrations of prototyping. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just print them on your home printer and each one is identical with no wires to worry about? Well AgIC Inc. has set out to do just that. As a recent Kickstarter that successfully met its funding and exceeded it by 2.6x its goal, you could soon print your circuit boards from an ink jet printer with their ‘magical conductive ink.’
