Here's a preview of my msp430 project. Just started mucking around with sparkfun lcd breakout board. Managed to take the code they had for arduino and made it work with msp430g2211 on mini breadboard. Next steps: - use simpleavr's i2c library to interface against wii nunchuck - make a simplegame that uses wii nunchuck for user input and lcd display for graphics - thinking about making the system modular by breaking functionality into 2 msp430g2211 chips: one handling lcd graphics and the other on game logic and wii nunchuck. the chips would communicate

So here it is: (EDIT: the forum seems to be cutting off some of the pictures to the right, if you'd like to see the full version of them, go here: http://img718.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=25703750f.png) 4 MSP430's working together The whole thing runs off a single 9V battery. The two digits for the hours are connected to one MSP430, and the two digits that make up the minutes are each connected to separate MSP430s. The whole thing is controlled by another MSP430 which keeps the time. The itself clock has two modes, one mode where it counts time

Hello there, I'm new here and this is my first Launchpad project. May I apply for project of the moth contest? (BTW this is cool idea as those kind of things always help to find motivation to describe what you did not just stop when you see everything is working) I recently bought digital caliper and decided to try to read it's data port readings from my Launchpad. One of uses would be to use caliper for precise position sensor if 8Hz updates are enough. It had Clock and Data pin. Had to setup pin that connects to Clock to trigger interrup on every pulse and then in interrupt function do

Well, I entered and forgot about this project, and guess what came via FedEx today! Their site says they are out of the 1000 free boards, so I must have been one of the last to get one. This board is pure geek pr0n! It has everything! I wonder if I'll ever learn to use it properly, let alone finish my entry in the contest! For a "little" help, Renesas also included a very nice book: Look at the size of that book! (LaunchPad included for scale). If it takes this much to understand this platform, I don't think I have much of a chance at a prize. No matter, I feel l

you could use the WDT timer or timer_A, depends on what you have available. the other option is turn off the interrupt for just that interrupt and re-enable it right before the interrupt returns. I think the best bet is to use the WDT timer for a delay instead of a SW delay. There are other ways for de-bouncing but this is just my opinion.

Do you want/need a favicon.ico for the site? I was making one for my blog, and thought I'd whip one up for you using your theme colors. Use it or trash it; you won't hurt my feelings. It took all of a couple of minutes. 16x16px, looks like this: 43oh-favicon.ico.zip -Doc

I just did that very thing for some rumble motors. Total from one controller: 2 rumble motors (1 with smaller weight, 1 larger), 2 analog joysticks with push switch, 2 small PCBs with traces for silicone type buttons (and the contacts for them), a few through-hole capacitors, a bunch of surface-mount devices (including some that look like inductors), cable with USB-A end. I love when I can scrounge usable parts!

That is sweet! Added it to the site. I may have to tweak it a little, but this works perfectly fine. I totally forgot about favicons. Thank you Geekdoc!
