mc-Dev Board is now available for purchase!
« on: June 30, 2016, 02:30:27 pm »
Hi everyone! We have re-designed our mc-Dev board and have made it available for purchase directly from our website! You can check out the details here: http://www.mcthings.com/products/mc-dev

We have also posted a video with our principle hardware engineer, Josh (mc-Josh), who describes the mc-Dev board functions, features and we also show a cool use case using a light detection sensor!
Using the mc-Dev board, you can now easily and quickly develop prototypes and proof of concept devices easily without the need for soldering! There are multiple pins that you can easily attach to breadboards to bring in other sensors or devices and connect them to an mc-Module! Be sure to check out the mc-Script documentation and the mc-mod110 technical sheet on our website to elp you bring your projects to life!!

Check out our video here:

Here is the code for the example project from the Video.
We attached a light sensor alongside a 2.2K resistor and then measured the light intensity. The code allows the LED lights on the mc-Dev board to visualize the light levels within the room by lighting up when high intensity light is present and to decrease when the light level drops. Very neat and simple to do!
