LEAP#215 OSHChip yotta toolchain
After bruising myself on the raw gcc toolchain - and although I got a program running - I think I want my toolchain to do more of the hard work for me!
So next I tried yotta, the software module system used by mbed OS. Building a simple program using the Official Yotta target for OSHChip and gcc on MacOSX proved quite straight-forward.

LEAP#214 OSHChip gcc toolchain
Can I build a program for the OSHChip using the gcc toolchain and Nordic Semi SDK on MacOSX?
Yes..ish!
Here are my notes and scripts for compiling and deploy a simple program, but there remain a few rough edges. There are probably easier ways to do this ... like using the Official Yotta target for OSHChip using gcc ... but I was curious to see how far I could get with just gcc and the Nordic Semi SDK.

LEAP#213 OSHChip blinky
I heard about the OSHChip on the embedded.fm podcast #146 and immediately wanted one!
An ARM Cortex-M0 32 bit micro processor (nRF51822) with 2.4 GHz Radio and other goodies all in a breadboard-compatible DIP16 package .. how could you say no?!
So far, so good. Literally 5 minutes to the first blinking LED, and hours of fun followed .. this is an awesome little package.

LEAP#212 Stay Creative!
A simple project inspired by Make your own LED Sign VU Meter by GreatScott!. The catch-phrase should be familiar if you subscribe to his channel;-)
It's a VU meter, but rather than doing the "bar graph" thing à la LM3915, it pulses the intensity of all LEDs to the volume of the incoming audio.
