Got my #NXP #NXPMCX A156! Any cool ideas on what to do with this? No wifi and low flash/ram but supposedly very good ADC (and PWM)

A development board from NXP, it has 5 sets of female jumper header with varying sizes and many components.

There are also two sets of unpopulated slots for more headers

Me and the gang at IndiaFOSS 2025! (Post wrap-up pic) Even though it's been atleast 3 years since I started going out(I'm practically a normie by compulsion now), I never, ever thought I'd have this much fun outside the comfort of my home! @fossunited thank you guys so much for organizing this!

A group of young people pose together inside a spacious hall. Several are crouching and others are standing, with some making peace signs and playful gestures. In the background, other groups are engaged in conversation near pillars and tables. A prominent frame sign with 'FOSS UNITED,' 'UNITED BY FOSS,' and 'INDIA FOSS 2025' is displayed at the center. Most people wear casual clothing and backpacks, because the event was wrapped up

A large group stands closely together in a bright indoor hall, framed by a white event prop labeled 'FOSS UNITED,' 'UNITED BY FOSS,' and 'INDIA FOSS 2025.' One person holds up a yellow dapo above the group. More people stand and interact in the background near pillars and wooden doors, giving an energetic, social feel to the scene.
