About the MSP430 Microcontroller Journal

Use this website for learning about the MSP430 microcontroller and how to develop programs and circuits which interface with it. It provides an insight into this remarkably sophisticated, powerful, yet easy to use computing system on a chip (SoC) which non-engineers and engineers can understand. It presents the basic concepts and fundamental techniques needed for developing programs which the MSP430 can use for monitoring sensors, controlling actuators, driving displays, and sharing information with remote destinations.
