![]() And I have to say, it has been successful. Clearly, TI had embraced this project and not squashed it.Įnergia was initially developed by Robert Wessel with the intention of bringing the simplicity of the Arduino platform to the MSP430. To my surprise, Energia’s name was all over the place. ![]() This year, I visited the TI booth at CES in Las Vegas. Going to solder the wires directly to the board? Uh, okay, sure. It means an extra step of soldering, but makes using the board more flexible. These additions are nice and something I wish Arduino boards would include.ĭepending on the board, it may or may not come with pin headers attached. ![]() On the LaunchPad board there are 2 (not just 1!) programmable LEDs and 1 programmable button. There is a multichannel ADC and a handful of GPIO pins. In addition to the 16-bit boards, there are 32-bit boards available as well–also supported by Energia. My board runs at 1MHz, but 16MHz boards are available. The RAM is a bit smaller than an Uno: only 256 or 512 bytes depending on the chip. ![]() And if you remember the video game wars in the 90s, 16-bit is way better than 8-bit. The G2x series feature lower power consumption than an AVR, while also being 16-bit. And, by the way, makes for a great Arduino alternative. It makes using the MSP430 series boards a snap. In this post, I’m looking at an open source IDE that’s available called Energia. ![]()
