Abstract:
In this hands-on workshop, students will get introduced to the Texas Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad development board and use it to build a simple embedded system.
A team of experienced students will demonstrate how to develop, run, and debug applications using the development board and some additional components. At the end of the workshop, students will walk away with all the components used during the workshop so that they can continue to experiment at home.
