At the middle of the week, two parcels arrived at my door. It was the MSP430 and the add-on (booster) pack that I ordered last Thursday (5 April 2012). That was fast. Thanks to Texas Instrument (TI) and FedEx. In the following week, I am going to explore all the features and functionalities of the MSP430 microcontroller and build something useful with it, such as (not limited to):
- Mp3 player
- Temperature sensor
- Home automation
I am going to show you what is it and why did I choose the MSP430 instead of Arduino. Is it a viable alternative?
