intro

Stolen from TI's wiki page:

"The MSP430 is a 16-bit, ultra-low power, mixed signal microcontroller from Texas Instruments. The strengths of the MSP430 lie in its easy-to-learn, C-compiler friendly, 16-bit CPU partnered with flexible low power modes and intelligent, low-power peripherals. As a catalog market product, its versatility is applied across a number of different end-equipments including medical equipment, electricity and sub-metering, and home appliances such as smoke detectors, thermostats, etc... With over 230 parts available, there is likely to be an MSP430 for almost any application."

MSP430 LaunchPad

The space got two Texas Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad development kits donated, free for use within the space.

Each LaunchPad kit includes the following:

  • Quick start guide
  • MSP-EXP430G2 development/debugging PCB
    • MSP430G2231 IC (included on the PCB)
    • MSP430G2211 IC
  • 2x 10 pins header M/F for extension boards
  • micro crystal 32.768kHz
  • USB->mini-USB cable

See ti.com/launchpadwiki for more information

project

There is a rumour that the first person who writes a useful program on the MSP430 will get a month free access to ACKspace! ask the board for details.

Hint: the space could really use an automated window blind control mechanism, which includes the blinds/awning outside (controlled by the rotary momentum switches per two windows, overridden by a fubar central control)
