Tear it up at the Embedded Systems Show
09 Sep 2008
Visitors to the Embedded Systems Show 2008 at the NEC on 1 and 2 October will have the chance to see high-tech gadgets stripped down to their individual components to reveal the techniques and technologies that make them tick.
The live teardowns will offer visitors unrivalled access to two of the latest and most popular consumer electronics gadgets. The Estes Micro-Tiger Helicopter is an indoor helicopter that uses Motion Automatic Sensing Controller (MASC) technology to enable both beginners and experienced pilots to enjoy the thrill of steering a helicopter with just a tilt of the wrist. The wireless Microsoft Xbox 360 Steering Wheel simulates all the resistance and force of driving, featuring dual rumble motors and realistic force feedback.
The Embedded Systems Show is a leading international exhibition for the electronics systems and software development communities in Europe. In addition to the teardowns, pre-registered conference delegates will have the opportunity to build and take home a fully configured embedded system based on the recently launched Beagleboard.
Fifty pre-registered visitors for the full conference can take part in this truly hands-on educational experience at no extra charge, building and taking away their own embedded system, using the USB-powered Beagleboard worth £80.
“This year’s Embedded Systems Show is more focused than ever
on the real-world applications of embedded systems and their place in the wider
electronics market,” says exhibition director Andrew Porter. “The
live-teardowns and the Build Your Own programme will offer real hands-on
experience and training, helping visitors develop their skills and expand their
knowledge of the very latest techniques.”
