New To mbed

22 Sep 2016

I am starting with mbed, and I would like to see some projects so that I can get an idea how to build mine. Could you guys and gals share a website where I can find projects for beginners, please?

Thank you very much

Define projects. Flash a light and say hello world? Log data?

Here's a simple project I made for last Halloween: https://developer.mbed.org/users/AndyA/code/SoundEffects/

This was a quick thrown together project so I wouldn't hold it up as an example of fine programming but it gives you an idea.

It used an mbuino mbed board and an adafruit sound effects board ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/2133 )

The code uses 4 IO pins.

3 pins connected to the sound effect board, 2 of them triggered different thunder sound effects (the hardest part ended up being finding a really good recording of some rolling thunder) one triggered one of a set of 5 other creepy sounds (screams, doors opening etc...)

The 4th IO pin was connected to a simple circuit (about 4 parts) that then drove a bank of 20 white LEDs (the mbed couldn't drive enough power directly) to make a lightning flash. The LED on/off flash sequence was programmed to match the thunder sounds.

It then used the 7 LEDs built into the board to give status information so that I could debug things and check it was all working.
