![]() The startKIT has a connector placeholder which is ideal for communicating to the Raspberry Pi, however for these first steps the board was used standalone. Today, if you want to handle input/output at a relatively high speed with very high accuracy and ease-of-use, XMOS devices are very high up on the list of suitable devices. The development environment is fairly straightforward to use (it is based on Eclipse), and the programming language is C with a few extensions to handle multitasking requirements. It was found that the XMOS startKIT is fantastic at handling timed events and multitasking. It costs under £12 including VAT (also available from Newark). The board is only slightly larger than a credit card (less than a centimetre longer) and packs an XMOS chip with multiple processors (more on that later), built-in 4-channnel ADC, touch sensors, integrated programmer/debugger, LEDs, switch and places for connectors. This post documents how to get started with XMOS’ startKIT which is an interesting board recently released (well, 5 months ago).
