ARM microcontrollers have high processing speed and low power consumption because they work efficiently with less memory by their own instruction set. Therefore, ARM microcontrollers are used not only in portable devices but also other commercial electronic devices. In recent years, free development environments and low-cost development kits are provided by many companies. The “mbed” provided by NXP is one of them. The “mbed” provides an environment where we can develop a product easily even if we are not familiar with electronics or microcontrollers. We can supply electric power and can transfer the program that we have developed by connecting to a PC via USB. We can use USB and LAN that, in general, require high level of expertise. The “mbed” has also a function as a HTTP server. By combining with JavaScript library, we can control multiple I/O ports at the same time through LAN. In the presentation, we will report the results that we applied the “mbed” to develop an RF signal switching system for a turn-by-turn beam position monitor (BPM) at a synchrotron light source, UVSOR-III.
