We have 500 LPC800 Mini-Kits to giveaway.

This giveaway is now closed, all the Mini-Kits have now been sent out for you to enjoy.

All you need to do is let us know what you think you could build with it.

To receive your very own LPC800, simply post your project ideas in the comments here and we will drop your LPC800 in the post. It’s that easy.

A little housekeeping: Please remember you need to log in to post a comment. You will also need to have filled out your full address in your profile so we can get the board in your hands without delay.

I would use it to create a UART-controlled, SPI/I2C hot-pluggable memory reader/writer. Quite handy in many situations. Right now I have an SPI NOR flash used in a Linux-based router. U-boot is corrupted and I have to write it into the SPI NOR flash memory.

Nice Idea, I think the system for attaching reliably to the various memories and also the computer (Pluss the software) would be much more complicated than just the SPI component

A bit of VB programming is not such a big deal (to control the thing through UART). And I have a spare MCP2200 on my desk. I would put it on the LPC's PCB. I can see there's already an USB mini receptacle, so it would be easy to connect it to the USB. And since the LPC has a bootloader, I would be able to program the LPC810's flash easily. Though, I already have an LPC-Link from a LPC1114FBD48/301,1LPC1114FBD48/301,1 kit.
The whole think would be programmed using the UART and the board plus the MCP2200 would be like a baby Arduino or Mbed.
