First off: The tinyK20 project is progressing fine and is now on Hackaday.io :-).
For a research project we would like to use the tinyK20 to log gyro sensor data. For this I have created a quick-n-dirty project to explore how feasible it is. The tinyK20 has all the pins on the outside of the board, so I’m able to put it on a bread board:

One day earlier than expected, our tinyK20 boards arrived, and they are looking great :-):

Over the weekend, I finally have repaired the broken ESC (see “Kinetis Drone: Graupner ESC S3055 Failure“). Time to run some first test flights :-).

The bad news: my ESC (see “Kinetis Drone: Graupner ESC S3055 Failure“) for my Kinetis drone is still not repaired :-(. Anyway, I have plenty of other things to make for my drone project. One is to work on the remote controller:

This tutorial is about how to create a lwIP project with FreeRTOS using the Kinetis SDK V1.3.0 with Kinetis Design Studio on the Freescale FRDM-K64F board.

New pictures from the manufacturing process of the tinyK20 boards. Now all parts to be populated have been arrived at the manufacturing, so populating the boards can start soon:

The manufacturing of 200 tinyK20 board is progress, and I’m sharing pictures of it :-).

How about to use the Freescale FRDM-KL43Z board (see “Unboxing the Freescale FRDM-KL43Z Board“) to play a Tetris game?
While developing my driver for the Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC’s) for my quadrocopter (see “Kinetis Drone: Driving the Electronic Speed Controllers“), I noticed a some strange smell, followed by a failure of one motor ESC 😦

I won’t be able to attend the Maker Faire in Rome (16. – 18. Oct. 2015). But five of the Sumo bots students from the previous semesters have built and programmed will be there.
