Lab 8
8 - 20 Gettings Started with the MSP430 - Using Energia (Arduino)
Lab 8a – Blink
Don’t blink, or this lab will go by without you seeing it. It’s a very simple lab exercise – that
happens to be one of the many examples included with the Energia package.
As simple as this example is, it’s a great way to begin. In fact, if you have followed the flow of this
workshop, you may recognize the Blink example essentially replicates the lab exercise we
created in Chapter 3 and 4 of this workshop.
As we pointed out during the Energia chapter discussion, the Wiring language simplifies the code
quite a bit.
Your First Sketch
1. Open the Blink sketch (i.e. program).
Load the Blinky example into the editor; select Blink from the Examples menu.
