This series will focus on implementing small programs with the MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad™
You can think of it as little blocks (hence the name of the series) you can use to form a larger program. Programs include:
- Voltage monitor with timestamp
- External RTC
- RGB LED controller
- I2C I/O expander
- Programmable clock source
- 8-bit DAC
- USB to UART bridge
- And much more!
The MSP430FR2433 LaunchPad™ development kit was used for this series
As part of the development kit, TI has a companion GUI application that’s used to reinforce the project. This GUI will be communicated in each project
To supplement the material, a code flowchart will accompany each program that summarizes the operation of the code.
Let’s get started!
