MSP430 Value Line LaunchPad Devalopment tool

Description:

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad is an easy-to-use flash programmer and debugging tool for the MSP430G2xx Value Line microcontrollers. It features everything you need to start developing on an MSP430 microcontroller device. It has on-board emulation for programming and debugging and features a 14/20-pin DIP socket, on-board buttons and LEDs & BoosterPack-compatible pinouts that support a wide range of plug-in modules for added functionality such as wireless, displays & more.

The MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad also comes with 2 MSP430 device, with up to 16kB Flash, 512B RAM, 16MHz CPU speed and integrated peripherals such as 8ch 10-bit ADC, timers, serial communication (UART, I2C & SPI) & more!

Free software development tools are also available, such as TI’s Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio, . Open Source development is also available thanks to community-driven projects such as the or , a branch of the popular Wiring framework. IAR Embedded Workbench MSPGCC compiler Energia
