Flexis™ JM Badge Board Design Challenge: Can Your Badge Do This?

Can Your Badge Do This?

Welcome!


It's amazing what you can do when you embed a MCF51JM128 ColdFire® USB MCU, a MMA7260QT 3-axis accelerometer, a MC34673Li-ion battery charger IC, a MPR084 capacitive touch sensor along with an LED screen into an event ID badge. Add a little ingenuity and programming, and you can have a multifunctional badge… even a toy.


The Flexis JM Badge Board doubles as an event badge for the Freescale Technology Forums around the world and provides design engineers with a low cost development board to develop a unique application.


Make sure to check out the Flexis JM Badge Board VirtuaLab which gives you virtual access to the badge board. See VirtuaLab for further details.
