mbed Cookbook Community Wiki
Welcome to the mbed Cookbook, a wiki for publishing user-contributed libraries and resources. This is the community "Handbook" for all the useful component and library building blocks that can be reused to cook up your prototypes.
Please feel free contribute component libraries, building blocks and any reference that could be reused. If you see ways to improve existing resources with extra examples, explanations or insights, please jump in!
Introduction and Help
- Course Notes - Course notes being developed to support workshops, lectures and self learning
Notebooks
This is the cookbook, which is for documenting components, libraries and tutorials, but for project writeups and tips, also try the Notebooks!
Components and Libraries
This section is for information about different reusable building blocks; primarily components and the libraries, code and information to make use of them. For more about Libraries, see Working with Libraries.
TCP/IP Networking
Network clients and servers
Internet of Things and Websockets
USB
Official USB Libraries can be found in the handbook:
- /handbook/USBDevice - Using mbed as a USB Device
- /handbook/USBMouse - Emulate a USB Mouse with absolute or relative positioning
- /handbook/USBKeyboard - Emulate a USB Keyboard, sending normal and media control keys
- /handbook/USBMouseKeyboard - Emulate a USB Keyboard and a USB mouse with absolute or relative positionning
- /handbook/USBHID - Communicate over a raw USBHID interface, great for driverless communication with a custom PC program
- /handbook/USBMIDI - Send and recieve MIDI messages to control and be controlled by PC music sequencers etc
- /handbook/USBSerial - Create a virtual serial port over the USB port. Great to easily communicate with a computer.
- /handbook/USBAudio - Create a USBAudio device able to receive audio stream from a computer over USB.
- /handbook/USBMSD - Generic class which implements the Mass Storage Device protocol in order to access all kinds of block storage chips
- USBHID bindings - Design your own USB device on top of USBHID class by developing programs in different languages and running on different platforms

What is the difference between the LPC2368 & LPC1768,
the only thing i can find is LPC1768 appeas to have more code examples for USB !
