Cookbook
Welcome to the Cookbook, a wiki and code repository for publishing projects, experiments, resources and ideas.
We've now introduced a "Notebook" for everyone, sowe want to see how well that concept works. Please use your "Notebook" for publishing any new projects, and perhaps post them in the forum to tell others what you are up to.
We'll maintain this as a good snapshot reference for now, but we'll look to upgrade it to integrate with Notebooks in the future.

Beta
Work here is from the Beta trial, and so may not work on the mbed NXP LPC1768. Usually there is a small amount of work to bring a project up to scratch. Next time have a fiddle with the project, feel free to upgrade it to the latest mbed Microcontroller and update the cookbook.
