Did you attend Maker Faire New York this weekend? TI was everywhere, whether it be on-stage discussing the Power Racing Series and DIY connected appliances, or in the projects of Makers across the show. Our resident LaunchPad extraordinaire even stopped by EDN’s reader/editor meet-up to show off a few TI demos.
Check out a few of the things we loved most about the show:
Of course the first thing we found was a random marching band walking around the grounds. This is Maker Faire after all!
At the Temboo booth, a SimpleLink™ Wi-Fi® CC3200 wireless MCU LaunchPad™ development kit was connected to a webpage to control a gas valve. There was also a sensor that would detect if gas was leaking and automatically shut off the valve. This is a great example of pairing Temboo and LaunchPad in industrial applications.
MSP430™ LaunchPad development kits and the Grove starter kit make the perfect pair. Did you snag one this weekend? Let us know what you plan to make with it!
