Online community addresses microcontroller design system
Digi-Key has created towergeeks.org, an online community addressing Freescale's Tower System.
The Tower System – a modular, reconfigurable development platform for 8, 16 and 32bit microcontrollers – has been created to help designers to get to market faster with packaged evaluation boards, tools and runtime software. The system is comprised of three types of module – microcontroller, peripheral, and elevator.
"We're very excited about TowerGeeks," says Mark Larson, Digi-Key's president. "It's a place for engineers to share their ideas via the chat room and forum. With some cool prizes at stake, it's a place for fun and a little friendly competition as well. It is going to be interesting to see what engineers have in mind for these cutting-edge products.
"We invite everyone to check out and join us at TowerGeeks. Where better for design engineers to learn and share ideas than from and with each other?"
