Anthony Harris: Moderator on RenesasRulz A little bit about myself… I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics. I am currently a Masters student in Electrical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
– Focusing on controls, within wireless sensor networks
Within Renesas… I am a website moderator for RenesasRulz – Answer questions, updating web pages, and dealing with everyday user issues I am currently working on developing schematic footprints for most of the MCU families
Random Facts… Currently “patent-pending” on two patents focused on pipe-traversing robots

‘Enabling The Smart Society’ Challenge: With the Industry needing a faster and more efficient way to develop with MCUs, it is necessary for a universal platform, that is efficient and versatile, to be developed.
Solution: “This class will show you just how the Sakura will be able to fill in this void that Industry is looking for, by showing you how fast, efficient, and versatile the Sakura board really is.”
