NI ELVIS II & Freescale MCU SLK Resources
Overview
NI ELVIS II with the Freescale Microcontroller Student Learning Kit (MCU SLK) plug-in board allows students to rapidly design and prototype electronic systems around a variety of 8-, 16- and 32-bit computing platforms from Freescale Semiconductor. NI ELVIS II, with its programmable I/O and tight integration with NI LabVIEW, makes it easy to develop complex embedded applications. With labs available for easy download and other online resources from National Instruments and Freescale, NI ELVIS II combined with the Freescale MCU SLK is an ideal platform for teaching microcontroller design.
