anuphgd 0 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi, I am teaching an Embedded Software Undergraduate class this semester, and we are learning the MSP430 architecture. As part of the class, we have to do some development projects. My students have ordered the MSP430 Launchpad which uses the MSPG2553 microcontroller. I want to know what is the best way to buy peripherals for their projects. They will need different I/Os such as LED displays, switches, microphone, temp/light sensors (if possible). I am looking at low cost (about $25 or less) for the students. Is there an educational kit I can order ? Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rei Vilo 695 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 There is the Sidekick Basic Kit for 25~30 USD depending on quantities ordered. The kit includes a breadboard, an adapter and many components. Read my review at http://embeddedcomputing.weebly.com/breadboard-boosterpack.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fmilburn 446 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It doesn't have the cool adapter for the LaunchPad and a few other items of the Sidekick Basic Kit but there is this one from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2975 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
