There are two SAR ADC modules available on the MSP430, the ADC10 and ADC12. The obvious distinction is the number of bits, which is given in their names, and there are several other differences. The ...

I do not describe the ADC12 in detail because it works on the same principles as the ADC10. However, some aspects of its operation are different and I pick these out. Finally, I show a simple example ...

[Rohit Gupta] wrote in to share this touchscreen piano project he built around the TI Launchpad. It provided a way for him to explore using a resistive digitizer found on a lot of mobile devices.

Sometimes you need to toggle or read a few pins on a microcontroller for a project so simple (or so temporary) that coding some firmware is a rather large investment of time. [Jaspreet] had the same ...

Texas Instruments has introduced an ARM Cortex-M4F version of its MSP430 microcontroller family, taking it from 16 to 32bits, with no extra power draw. “The integrated DSP engine and floating-point ...
