Embedded Systems - Shape The World
The kit ordering details have been worked out. So, students should purchase their kits as soon as possible. We recommend buying the TM4C123 Tiva LaunchPad from Texas Instruments and the kit parts from the element14 Worldwide Landing Page or the Digi-Key Landing Page. Mouser is also a good alternate source for parts. In addition, there are region specific suppliers from which you can get the extra electronic kit parts. We reccomend taking a look at the Worldwide Distributor Page and then if it proves too expensive check your local regional suppliers. For Questions please see the FAQ page and follow us on Twitter Facebook and Google Plus for the most up to date information.
The software download however is not ready yet. A class email will be sent to notify students when you can begin software downloading.
