This is a project I made while I was learning about the MSP430's ADC10 peripheral and messing with multiplexing of 7-segment LED displays. It is a test bed for analog sensors where the 10-bit value of the analog input on the MSP430 mcu ( a MSP430G2252 in this case ) is displayed on two 2-digit 7-segment displays, which are being driven via a TPIC6B595N Power Shift register ( the SPI is currently bit-banged ). This has come quite handy for testing sensors quickly for my robotics projects and such.
Here is my blog post that goes into the project in detail:
