CoCo-ri-Co, the Cool Controller Concept (published in Elektor’s December 2014 edition), is a new attempt at solving the perennial problem of adding knobs, buttons and displays to microcontroller designs without reinventing the wheel. Instead of a universal solution with many controls that can be positioned in different ways, this solution only has one. Instead of one large versatile board that’s supposed to contain everything, this design is for a small module that you sprinkle on your project like salt on an egg. It is based on a cheap 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ LPC812 microcontroller. In this webinar Clemens Valens will explain not only the CoCo-ri-Co concept and its possibilities but also the technology behind it.CoCo-ri-Co Specifications
