Context: the stellaris launchpad is a Cortex-M4 based development board which TI were selling at 2 for $5. If you don't know what that means it's basically an ARM arduino.
Like everyone else I ordered the limit of 2 boards and six months later I received them, having forgotten the plans I originally had for their use, so this article is a welcome kick up the arse to actually use some of the toys in my drawer.
Thats exactly what the Recursive Labs post did for me and what prompted me to start writing everything down. This post is kind of dry (I didn't expect this kind of traffic), but the next two have a lot more interesting stuff in them so be sure to check back!
Hey, thanks for writing up that post, eehusky. I look forward to the future posts. Just as you were inspired by the Recursive Labs post, so to has yours inspired me.
One of the coolest parts about this device is that it can be a USB input device (mouse & keyb at least) with the right drivers. I've thought about storing passwords on one instead of in a password manager. A couple of wires, a button, and ~30 lines of code is all that's needed.
Any word on Energia progress? It works so well with my MSP430.
