I was at the DevNation Hacknight at Red Hat Summit and was given a couple of mbed devices (mbed LPC1768 and mbed Application Board). I have been able to successfully hook them up to my computer and write a couple of small programs that ran (make the leds blink, make a noise, use the rgb led etc).
But I have a couple of newbie questions that hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction.
1.) Can the board only run one application at a time? it seems like if i copy two .bin files onto the board, it doesn't run them both?
2.) I see in the component sections that there are lots of expansion boards (http://mbed.org/components/cat/expansion-boards/) and things, but some of them seem more like they will run with the Arduino platform, and don't hook onto the mbed application board that I got. Can anyone offer some guidance on figuring out what will work with what I already have? The arduino stuff seems interesting, but i enjoy programming in pure c++ so want to stick with the mbed stuff for now.
Thanks in advance,
Corey
