This project not only involves building a low-power orientation tracker, but also showcases IQmathLib, a library of optimized fixed point math functions on the MSP430.

ControlEasy does this with a matching piece of code running on any MSP430 with a hardware UART (like the TI Launchpad) sending and receiving data to the computer.

Editor's Note: For individuals looking to explore MCUs and MCU-based design principles, low-cost development kits offer an easy, low-risk entry into the intricacies of these complex ICs. In this ...

There's no question that we're fans of the Arduino here at GeekDad; however, that doesn't mean we don't occasionally dabble with other micro-controllers. The Texas Instruments MSP430 Launchpad Kit ...

Fig. 2. MSP430 LaunchPad features onboard emulation, which allow you to program and debug projects without the need for additional tools.
