Parts

The LPC845-BRK consists of two microcontrollers:

• LPC845

  That's the chip you'll be programming

• LPC11U35

  That's the chip in the upper left corner. It acts as a debug bridge, allowing you to program, debug and communicate with the LPC845. It runs a firmware that implements the CMSIS-DAP protocol.

It also has some extra things:

• RGB Led

  This small thing contains three leds, red, green and blue

• Buttons

  Things you can press

• Potentiometer

  An adjustable resistor, allows you to set a voltage by using it as a voltage divider

• Capacitive Button

  A button that can be activated by touching it. Unfortunately, getting it set up is pretty involved, so we're not going to do that.
