Adapted from “MSP430 Microcontroller Basics” by John H. Davies (Newnes) CHAPTER 1 Embedded Electronic Systems and Microcontrollers This chapter provides a short introduction to embedded electronic ...

[Nav] is working on a scratch-built wristwatch. Although it is based on an MSP430 microcontroller, it’s not the ready-to-hack ezCronos that you might be thinking of. Instead, [Nav] started wi… ...

Editor’s Note: In the second of a two-part tutorial excerpted from MSP430 Microcontroller Basics, by John H. Davies, the author describes use of IAR’s free Embedded Workbench Kickstart IDE to develop ...

Basic MSP430 project for toggling LEDs using push buttons MSP430 LED and Button Control Description This project demonstrates basic control of LEDs and push buttons using an MSP430 microcontroller.

We’re sure there are more expensive LED controllers out there, but the TI-84 has got to be up there. Unless you have one on hand, then it’s free. And then you’ll doubtless need an… ...

The abstraction level can be selected and includes Basic, Power User and Register views. It generates fully commented C code for all F2xx and G2xx microcontrollers.

Editor’s note: Part 2 of “Intro to Embedded Systems” follows Part 1’s look at the general nature of embedded systems with another excerpt from the book “MSP430 Microcontroller Basics,” delving deeper ...
