This hands-on training session will walk you through how to develop an embedded sensor node prototype with Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. You will speed through configuration of the AVR microcontroller, sensor interface and communications interface setup by using Atmel Start, a graphical programming interface. This tool will generate libraries with simple APIs so you can spend time working on your solution instead of messing with registers or communication protocols.
An avid Maker before it was a widespread term, Bob Martin has been tearing apart things to see how they work for his entire life. With 30 years of embedded system experience, he now serves as the “Wizard of Make” for Microchip, continuing his role from Atmel. He keeps the Maker spirit alive within Microchip, educating aspiring Makers and continuing to create, experiment and explore as much as he can. He lives in Sunnyvale CA with his wife, twin daughters and a cat with no teeth . . . along with a garage full of surplus wire and boxes of “vintage electronics” that really need to be recycled.
