Mbed Blog
mbed @ ESC Silicon Valley!
The Embedded Systems Conference is running April 26-29th in Silicon Valley, and we'll be there! Hopefully with a nice demo...
mbed.org cloud now being served from mbed Microcontrollers!
You may have noticed some slight disruption on the website last night, here is why. After a few weeks of planning, research and development, we've finally bought up an array of 10 mbeds to serve the mbed cloud.
Hello World! - mbed Projects Roundup #1
We've seen a few interesting projects cropping up over the last week, so I thought it might be worth putting together an occasional blog to share things that are springing to life around mbed-land.
Here are some that caught our eye recently...
Argentinean Symposium on Embedded Systems (SASE)
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:

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
mbed will be at Makerfaire Newcastle!
Site update: 1.4
I've just released a new site update which adds amongst other things, the following requested features:
- Favouriting
- Private messaging
mbed in the EDN Innovation Finals, and at Embedded World!
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 :)
mbed & Silica Seminar in the UK
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.
