mbed board

I remember those days struggling to write a piece of software on an embedded system, holding a balance scale between cost and hardware experimentation. a microcontroller on a bread board, a programmer which could burn my code, a perfect piece of compiler-linker-programmer. Now things have changed. better prototyping boards are on the loose, one such is the mbed prototyping board, I've loved it since the first I've used it, the best part is you don't have to worry about having a programmer and hit your head to build stuff. Simple stuff. copy and paste the code, you are done!

Having a couple of these at home makes stuff easier.
