We are certainly spoiled by all the microcontroller options nowadays — which is a great problem to have. But between the good old 8-bit controllers and an increasing number of 32-bit varieties, it ...

Linux embedded development doesn't only mean embedding Linux in a product, it also means using Linux as a development platform for embedded microprocessors. The majority of computer processors are not ...

There's no question that we're fans of the Arduino here at GeekDad; however, that doesn't mean we don't occasionally dabble with other micro-controllers. The Texas Instruments MSP430 Launchpad Kit is ...

Need a tiny web server? [Rob] over on the 43oh forums made an Ethernet booster pack for the very popular TI MSP430 microcontroller. If that’s not enough, [Rob] also put together an all-in-one solution ...

Editor's Note: For individuals looking to explore MCUs and MCU-based design principles, low-cost development kits offer an easy, low-risk entry into the intricacies of these complex ICs. In this ...

This white paper will elucidate the specifics behind Texas Instruments’ justification that TI’s MSP430 is a better low power device than Microchip’s XLP technology. Texas Instruments compared their ...

This reference design is presented to help application designers and others who are trying to use the MSP430 in a system with an input voltage in the range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V This reference design is ...
