Workshop Agenda
Chapter 5: Interrupts … do you use interrupts? Yep, they’re one of the most fundamental
parts of embedded system designs. This is especially true when your
processor is known as the king of low-power. We examine the sources, how to
enable, and what to do in response to … interrupts.
Chapter 6: Timers are often thought of as the lifeblood of a microcontroller program. We
use them to generate periodic events, as one-shot delays, or just to wake
ourselves up every once in a while to read a sensor value. This chapter
focuses on Timer_A – the primary timer module found in the MSP430.
Chapter 7: USB – Universal Serial Bus is an ideal way to communicate with host
computers. This is especially true as most PC’s have done away with
dedicated serial and parallel ports. We attempt to explain how USB works as
well as how to build an application around it. What you’ll find is that the
MSP430 team has done an excellent job of making USB simple.
Chapter 8: Energia is also known by the name “Arduino”. Energia was the name given to
Arduino as it was ported to the TI MCU’s by the open-source community. Look
up the definition of Energia – and let it ‘propel’ your application right off the
Launchpad.
