Experiment No. 3

  • E3.1 Name:

  • ARM Cortex M3 mbed - ByteDisplay extension


  • E3.2 Overview, purpose:

  • Exploring ARM mbed extensions and using ByteDisply / 7segment displays to view binary information. At the end of the lab, basic information will be provided on how to feed the expanded mbed platform, making extensions as well as using the bus and ticker classes in the cloud compiler structure available in the cloud.


  • E3. 3 Resources:

  • Pmbed Platform, ByteDisplay extension, 7v, browser and connection to www.mbed.org, 7-segment extension, oscilloscope.


  • E3.4 Programs example:

  • Prototype1
    Prototype Program2



  • E2.5 Experiment Run / Tracking Mode:

  • E3.6 Proposed Issues:

  • 1. Modify the prototype program so that byteDisplay displays a reversible counter;

    2. Attach a byteDisplay to the J3 connector and create a program that will display a binary count;

    3. Make a program that will display on bits of display 2 binary counts of 4 bits;

    4. Highlight the length of a counting cycle from 1 to 256

    5. Attach to the J2 connector a seven-segment display cell according to the sheme and make a program that will display the figures from 0 to 9.

  • E3.7 The experiment can be extended to:


  • Making a flexible embedded computer with standard components;
  • Developing Internet of Things for Future Internet;
  • Make extensions for iPhone / iPad / Android


  • E3.8 Collateral Information:
