mbed is a tool for Rapid Prototyping with Microcontrollers.
Microcontrollers are getting cheaper, more powerful and more flexible, but there remains a barrier to a host of new applications; someone has to build the first prototype! With mbed, we've focused on getting you there as quickly as possible.

A few weeks ago, Ariel Lutenberg and his hard working collaborative put on an impressive event in Buenos Aires that attracted over 500 eager embedded engineers to learn about, discuss and develop with embedded systems; not bad for a first attempt!
The agenda included an excellent mbed workshop, involving programming mbed-based line following robots as part of an introduction to working with microcontrollers; you'll have to wait until part 2 where we'll have some details (and videos!) from Lucas and Joaquin, the workshop organisers.
Congratulations to Ariel and everyone involved for pulling off such a successful event! Let's hope this leads to SASE2011.
So in our first guest blog, here is Ariel with a great writeup of SASE2010:
Sixth former Will Reynolds from The Perse School in Cambridge won the 'Google Technology Trailblazer Prize' at the Big Bang 2010 science fair in Manchester last Friday for his mbed based mimicking robot arm.
Hitex is holding a one day conference and exhibition at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham to be held on Wednesday 19th May 2010. Over the course of this one day conference you will get an overview of the key developments in the rapidly expanding area of ARM based Microcontrollers
