2 Introduction

Thank you for buying Embedded Artists’ LPCXpresso Experiment Kit designed to work with NXP’s

ARM Cortex-M0/M3 LPCXpresso target boards.

This document is a User’s Guide that describes the LPCXpresso Experiment Kit that describes

hardware as well as software related to the kit.

2.1 Features

The kit has been created as a guided tour to learn embedded programming with NXP’s LPC1000

microcontroller family with Cortex-M0/M3 cores from ARM. The experiments can be performed on a

breadboard for maximum flexibility and ease of use. It is also possible to solder the components to a

printed circuit board (pcb) and learn soldering at the same time.

Components included in the kit are:

 8x LEDs

 2x Trimming potentiometers

 7x push-buttons

 RGB-LED

 Light sensor (analog)

 Temperature sensor (analog)

 7-segment LED, dual digit

 E2PROM with SPI interface

 Temperature sensor with I2C interface (only for pcb mounting)

 Piezo buzzer

 Rotary quadrature encoder (only for pcb mounting)

 Shift register

 I2C ports expander (PCA9532, only for pcb mounting)

 USB Host connector (only for pcb mounting)

 USB Device connector (only for pcb mounting)

 RJ45 connector for Ethernet (only for pcb mounting)

 14-pos serial expansion connector, for interface to for example graphical displays

 3x servo connectors. Note that servos are not included.

 XBee™ compatible socket (for ZigBee and WiFi modules). Note that RF module is not

included.

 LPC1114 in DIL28 package, with 12MHz crystal and SWD connector (only for pcb mounting)

 Local +3.3V voltage regulator

 Miscellaneous resistors, capacitors, transistors and connectors

 Breadboard with cables

 Naked PCB
