It also presents the advanced laboratories that gather all the knowledge acquired during the course. The course structure was defined in order to be easy to understand and provide a logical flow along the topics, as it mostly progresses from simple topics to more advanced ones. The developed materials include slides for class room teaching, explanatory documents for student and educators future reference, laboratories, tests, programs and application examples after each chapter. Each module is dedicated to a specific aspect of the MSP430 device, including the description of a range of peripherals.engMicrocontroller - MSP430MSP430 microcontrollers essentialsA new approach for the embedded systems coursesPart 3 - Data acquisition and Communicationsjournal article
