Description

This course teaches and walks through the implementation of various interfaces with the ARM mbed platform. The mbed development platform is the fastest way to create products based on ARM microcontrollers. The project is being developed by ARM, its Partners and the contributions of the global mbed Developer Community.

The course is divided into six sections (17 lectures) with each section discussing the theory, programming and lab of each interface. The interfaces taught in this course are

1. LEDs

2. Seven Segment Displays

3. Character LCD (16 x 2)

4. Matrix Keypad

5. Analog Inputs

6. Serial Communication

Candidates who take this course can gain a skill set with which they can design electronic platforms for industry as well as for their personal hobby.

For this course You will need a hardware mbed board called the Freedom KL25Z board from Freescale Semiconductors. You can get more information about the board from
