Future RoadTests

Hi,

 

Thanks for your feedback on the other thread. We are working with our suppliers to hopefully get you some of these kits to test. In the meantime, I just wanted you to know about some of the RoadTests coming up over the next month or so. We are going to feature two NXP kits, LPCXpresso and mBed, we will also have Altera's Cyclone IV kit and Microchip's PicKit Ethernet. Keep an eye on the group for a chance to test all these market leading development kits

    Hello!

     

    I'm now have mBed and LPC_Express 1300 (get it from Farnell) and can write review right now, if you want. But Altera Cyclon IV kit is interesting thing for me!

     

    And some question? can I publish review on my blog and just post link on element14?

     

    With best regards, Roman.

    The PicKit Ethernet certainly looks very interesting especially if combined with an expansion board, this would have to be at the top of my list. I've never seen the mBed before but it seems to be very easy to use, just a shame it lacks debugging.

    Hi Alistair,

     

    Great news. Would definitely like to use the Microchip PicKit Ethernet kit.

    the altera kit sounds very interseting, an area i would love to find out more...  as for microchip pic32, the current project we are working on uses the pic32 as the main processor, the whole design uses 8 pic32...

    Wow ... all of these kits are fantastic roadtest choices!

     

    The mbed wiki which Michael Chuah pointed to is amazing. My favourite (astonishing) project is the componentless VGA. It's a very creative example of how far some of these devices can really be pushed!

     

    The Microchip Pic32 Ethernet also looks like a great development platform - a lot of applications I can see that board in.

     

    Cheers,

        Robert.

    Excitement! I can't wait to try out the mbed too! Look at all the projects that are already out there.

    Very nice to hear about the Cyclone kit and I would also be very eager to test the mBed kit, not having any previous MCU programming experience.

     

    Hopefully I will get lucky this time.
