What is the MSP430?
The TI MSP430 developing tool is a multi-purpose launchpad, easy to use flash programmer and debugging tool, that features everything you need to start developing your own programs and applications. In other words with this piece of hardware, some code and the right booster packs, you will be able to create something real, such as: An alarm clock, digital thermometer, a cellphone charger, a quad-copter even a robot. |
Why the MSP430?
-Low Cost ($10 us) -Low power operation -Compatible with all operating systems -Access to lots of tutorials, codes, and forums -No need of special cables to connect with the PC -It's own prototyping software (Energia) -Energia makes the code of Arduino compatible with the MSP430. |
