Based on the Piccolo™ 32-bit F2802x microcontroller, the C2000 LaunchPad enables developers, hobbyists and university students to explore the latest real-time control techniques for applications such as digital lighting and power conversion. This innovative, quick-launch evaluation kit contains everything needed -- device, emulation and software -- for development. Developers can get started quickly with TI's free controlSUITE software and documentation.
This simple electronic version of a photocell makes it convenient to do lighting control without the use of the sun. Read More...
