bonus for participants

- [Bonus 1 description].
- [Bonus 2 description].

We are very excited to invite Texas Instruments in London to show our community how to build Sensor-To-Cloud applications using the TI SimpleLink™ Platform. In this session you will create low-power sensors that can connect using Bluetooth LE to smartphones/tablets for local configuration and also using Sub1GHz for long-range sensor-to-cloud connectivity.
‍
We’ll experiment with LaunchPad™ development kits and BoosterPack™ plug-in modules as well as on-line code-development resources to create real-world sensor application.
We’ll also look at advanced features such as delivering over-the-air firmware updates and optimising for low-power as well as demonstrate some of the other protocols that can easily be enabled (e.g. OpenThread, ZigBee) by this highly configurable platform.

TI’s new SimpleLink™ microcontroller platform sets a new standard for developers with the broadest portfolio of wired and wireless Arm® MCUs (System-on-Chip) in a single software development environment.
Delivering flexible hardware, software and tool options for your IoT and automotive applications. Invest once in the SimpleLink™ software development kit and use throughout your entire portfolio.

Participants will take home a free [dev kit name].
