Book: Get Started with the NXP FRDM-MCXN947 Development Board
Develop projects on connectivity, graphics, machine learning, motor control, and sensors
This book is about the use of the FRDM-MCXN947 Development Board, developed by NXP Semiconductors. It integrates the dual Arm Cortex-M33, operating at up to 150 MHz. Ideal for Industrial, IoT, and machine learning applications. It features Hi-Speed USB, CAN 2.0, I³C and 10/100 Ethernet. The board includes an on-board MCU-Link debugger, FlexI/O for LCD control, and dual-bank flash for read-while-write operations, supporting large external serial memory configurations.
One of the important features of the development board is that it features an integrated eIQ Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU), thus enabling users to develop AI-based projects. The development board also supports Arduino Uno form factor header pins, making it compatible with many Arduino shields, mikroBUS connector for MikroElektronika Click Boards, and Pmod connector.
One of the nice things of the FRDM-MCXN947 development board is that it includes several on-board debug probes, allowing programmers to debug their programs by communicating directly with the MCU. With the help of the debugger, programmers can single-step through a program, insert breakpoints, view and modify variables and so on.
Many working and tested projects have been developed in the book using the popular MCUXpresso IDE and the SDK with various sensors and actuators. Use of the popular CMSIS-DSP library is also explained with several commonly used matrix operations.
The projects provided in the book can be used without any modifications in many applications. Alternatively, readers can base their projects on those given in the book during the development of their own projects.

The Motorino board is an extension-board to control and use up to 16 PWM-controlled 5V-Servo-motors. The included clock generator ensures a very precise PWM signal and a very precise positioning. The board has 2 inputs for voltage from 4.8 V to 6 V which can be used for up to 11 A. With this input, a perfect power supply is always guaranteed and even bigger projects are no problem. The supply runs directly over the Motorino which provides a connection for voltage, ground and control. With the build in capacitor, the voltage is buffered which prevents a sudden voltage-drop at a high load. But there is also the possibility to connect another capacitor. The control and the programing can be done, as usual, with the Arduino. Manuals and code examples allows a quick introduction for beginners. Special features 16 Channels, own clock generator Input 1 Coaxial power connector 5.5 / 2.1 mm, 4.8-6 V / 5 A max Input 2 Screw-terminal, 4.8-6 V / 6 A max Communication 16 x PWM Compatible with Arduino Uno, Mega and may more microcontroller with Arduino compatible pinout Dimensions 69 x 24 x 56 mm Scope of supply Board, Manual, Retail package

Complete program listing of the project
Full description of the program
The projects in the book cover the standard DC motors, stepper motors, servo motors, and mobile robots. The book is aimed at students, hobbyists, and anyone else interested in developing microcontroller based projects using the Arduino Uno or the Raspberry Pi Zero W.
One of the nice features of this book is that it gives complete projects for remote control of a mobile robot from a mobile phone, using the Arduino Uno as well as the Raspberry Pi Zero W development boards. These projects are developed using Wi-Fi as well as the Bluetooth connectivity with the mobile phone. Readers should be able to move a robot forward, reverse, turn left, or turn right by sending simple commands from a mobile phone. Full program listings of all the projects as well as the detailed program descriptions are given in the book. Users should be able to use the projects as they are presented, or modify them to suit to their own needs.
The MotoPi is an extension-board to control and use up to 16 PWM-controlled 5 V servo motors. The board can be additional powered by a voltage between 4.8 V and 6 V so a perfect supply is always guaranteed and even larger projects can be powered. With the additional power supply and the integrated Analog-Digital-Converter, new possibilities can be reached. An additional power supply per motor is not required anymore because all connections (Voltage, Ground, Control) are directly connected to the board. The control and the programing can be directly done, as usual, on the Raspberry Pi. Special features 16 Channels, own clock generator, Inkl.
