MCU LaunchPad kit takes the development to the cloud

Texas Instruments' CC2650 LaunchPad kit brings easy Bluetooth Smart connectivity to the LaunchPad kit ecosystem with the SimpleLink, ultra-low-power CC26xx family of devices. It is available now from Digi-Key. This kit also supports development for multi-protocol support for the SimpleLink, multi-standard, wireless MCU and the rest of the family of products: the CC2630 wireless MCU for ZigBee/6LoWPAN and the CC2640 wireless MCU for Bluetooth Smart. The wireless MCU contains a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor that runs at 48 MHz as the main microcontroller and a rich peripheral feature set that includes a unique, ultra-low-power sensor controller. This sensor controller was created for interfacing external sensors and for collecting analog and digital data autonomously while the rest of the system is in sleep mode. The LaunchPad kit supports programming and debugging from Code Composer Studio and IAR Embedded Workbench IDEs.
