- The MSP-EXP430G2 was the first LaunchPad kit by TI (Texas Instruments) and is fairly popular among the masses.
- When the board is used with an MSP430G2553 IC, it offers 16kB of Flash memory and 512Bytes of RAM.
- 16 GPIO pins are available for use. All 16 pins can be used as Digital I/O pins. 8 pins can be used as Analog Input pins (A0-A7 in the image given above).
- 7 PWM pins are available. Pins 4, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 19 (in the image given above) are the PWM pins. 4 or 14 or 19, only one can be used as a PWM pin at a time. Similarly 9 or 10, only one can be used as a PWM pin at a time. The same goes for 12 or 13, only one can be used as a PWM pin at a time.
- Includes all of the hardware and software needed to get started. Pre-programmed devices and code examples help you get up and running quickly
- As application requirements change, programs developed on the LaunchPad can be migrated to higher end MSP430 devices.
Includes
- a development board,
- 2 programmable MSP430 microcontrollers,
- mini-USB cable,
- PCB connectors for expandability,
- external crystal for increased clock accuracy, and unrestricted software integrated development environments (IDEs) – everything you need to get started today.
