Arrow Electronics has announced two UK seminars that will give customers the opportunity to learn more about ultra-low-power microcontrollers and low-power RF technologies from Texas Instruments. All attendees at the seminars in Leicester and Reading will get to take away a free Texas Instruments development kit.

The seminars will take place at Arrow’s Midland Regional Business Centre (RBC) in Leicester on 22nd April, and the company’s Reading RBC on 24th April. Both sessions will provide attendees with comprehensive information on the Texas Instruments MSP430 16-bit, ultra-low-power microcontrollers and allow them to learn how to use the associated development tools.
