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.
Check out the video to see how you get started!

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
I've just released a new site update which adds amongst other things, the following requested features:
An unexpected email this week told me mbed has been chosen for the finals of the EDN Innovation awards. That's pretty cool!
If you think we'd be a worthy winner for their tools category, it'd be great if you could support us and go and vote for mbed to win! It'd be an honour to win something like this, and certainly we never dreamed of being considered in these sorts of thing when we launched 4 months ago!
Next up, embedded world...
We're going to be out at embedded world next week in Nuremberg. We'll be around the show floor, and NXP should have a demo setup on their stand to play with so I'm sure we'll hang about that too. So if you are visiting, come and say hi!
We also noticed the last day at Nuremberg is Student Day, so if you are a student visiting who is using mbed in a project, or you are planning to, come and have a chat about your ideas. We're thinking of sponsoring a few student projects with mbed's too, so come and make your case :)
Hello from Munich Airport!
I just got confirmation of a couple of mbed "lunch 'n' learn" introductory events Silica have planned in the UK:
For all the details, see their mbed & Silica Seminar in the UK page, which includes a link to register for them.
