Energia MT: Efficiently Sensing the World Around You

Date and Time

Wednesday, May 20, 2015 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Location

Summary

A Multi-Tasking Real-Time Operating System at Your Fingertips

Abstract

Zigurd will kickoff the meeting sharing perspectives on the evolution of sensor networks and “The Internet of Things”. He'll trace order-of-magnitude-technological-advances from the IBM PC thru the Mobile Era leading to the billions of sensing devices all around us.

Brian will demo sensor-based applications developed using Energia MT. This free, easy-to-use software development platform integrates TI-RTOS (on Linux, Macintosh and Windows) bringing real-time multi-tasking to IoT. We'll use the CC3200 LaunchPad (with WiFi) and the newly introduced MSP432 line (with it's focus on energy efficiency).

Thanks to Texas Instruments, we have a number of door prizes to raffle at this meeting, including the new MSP432P401R LaunchPad, the SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3100 BoosterPack, and TI's new Multi-standard SensorTag.
