This book is focused on the MSP-EXP430G2 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit, which is a complete microcontroller development platform that includes everything you need to start creating microcontroller-based projects. Many of the 25+ projects will also leverage external components, such as the highly-integrated Educational BoosterPack, which is a modular extension to the LaunchPad and includes many components such as an RGB LED, character LCD \u0026amp; potentiometer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides helpful guides that break down hardware circuits through visual diagrams and includes fully-commented code examples. Concepts are broken down and explained in an easy to follow language and analogies to help you understand the principles behind each project\/system. The projects will encourage you to use and even combine the fundamental concepts to develop your ideas in creating new microcontroller solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCoverage includes:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital Input\/Output: buttons, LEDs, turning anything into a button\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog Input\/Output: sensors, temperature, accelerometer, potentiometer, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgramming fundamentals: conditional branches \u0026amp; loops, flow, logic, number systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePulse-Width Modulation (PWM): square wave, buzzer, analog signal simulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial Communication: UART, SPI \u0026amp; I2C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode development using Energia, a free, open-source code editor and compiler\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebugging through serial communication with a computer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfacing with external components such as LEDs, buzzers, potentiometers, sensors \u0026amp; more.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the help of this book, you will be challenged to think about developing your own unique microcontroller-based application, and you will be equipped to start solving various problems, adding intelligence to existing products, or even developing your own innovative creations with a LaunchPad development kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
