Hello, as an ex-TI'er I spent many years 'selling' the humble MSP430. It has been many, many years since I did any code. This week I stumbled upon Energia, the new book, which is great on a Kindle Fire, found an original Launch Pad sample in the drawer, and within hours had blinking LEDs, serial comms running, toggling, reading temp sensors - I have had so much fun that a world of 'forgotten' projects are again possible.
A massive well done!
