If you're a fan of the speed and simplicity of ARM Cortex M0+ chips and want to start exploring, you'll adore the cute LPC810. The DIP8 LPC810 stands out as it defies the typical ARM perception. While its small size (4KB flash and 1KB SRAM) makes it a bit tricky to use, its low price, 32 - bit processor, 12MHz internal oscillator, configurable I2C/SPI/UART pin - matrix, and built - in serial bootloader are really appealing.
This starter pack is your gateway to getting started. It includes an LPC810 DIP chip, two LEDs with 560 ohm resistors, two tact switches with 10K pullups, a MCP1700 - 3.3V regulator along with 2 x 0.1uF capacitors, and a USB - serial programming/debug cable. All you need is a breadboard and a computer, then follow the step - by - step starter tutorial written by KTOWN, our ARM Core expert.
For more chip details, visit the NXP product page. Note that the analog comparator on the LPC810 doesn't work in this silicon revision. If your application requires an analog comparator, hold off on purchasing until the next revision is out!
Using this LPC810 Mini Starter Pack is easy. First, gather a breadboard and a computer. Then, take out the items from the pack, like the LPC810 DIP chip, LEDs, tact switches, regulator, and the USB - serial cable. Follow the step - by - step tutorial written by KTOWN. Connect the components as described in the tutorial to start your project.
There are some important things to note. The analog comparator on the LPC810 doesn't work in this silicon revision. So, if your project needs an analog comparator, wait for the next revision before buying.
For maintenance, keep the components in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity. When handling the chips and components, be gentle to prevent any physical damage.
