To further broaden the impact of wireless connectivity and accelerate the development of connected systems, manufacturing companies are beginning to come up with new connectivity options for Industry 4.0 and beyond — ultra-modern microcontroller platforms, software, and modules to cater to the needs of emerging applications. Texas Instruments just made a public announcement of their […]
The Launchpad – A $2 Arduino Nano alternative
https://www.electronics-lab.com/the-launchpad-a-2-arduino-nano-alternative/
Boards like the Arduino and Raspberry Pi have their origins, deep in education, either maker education as a way for people to express themselves (Arduino) or an affordable and portable way for people to learn about computers and programming (Raspberry Pi). The culture of creating solutions targetted at beginners, is one that is quickly fading […]
Launchpad Launches as a Cheap Arduino Nano alternative

We can’t seem to get enough of Arduino Nano. It has been a “go to” boards for developers since its launch in 2008. We see developers and engineers try to upgrade the Arduino. This has moved Clyde D. Corpuz to launch the Launchpad, which is a small, Arduino compatible microcontroller development board that does away with […]
An Introduction to MSP430 Launchpad
https://www.electronics-lab.com/brief-introduction-msp430-using-launchpad-msp430g2553/
Rahul Sreedharan introduces us to TI’s MSP430 microcontroller using LaunchPad board. In this tutorial we will be exploring the workings of a MSP430 based microcontroller from Texas Instruments. MSP430 is developed by Texas Instruments as an extremely low power 16 bit architecture for use in low power, low cost, energy constrained embedded applicationsThe Hardware used […]

Spirilis @ 43oh.com forum would like to monitor his woodstove temperature profiles so he build a plugin board for LaunchPad using the MAX31855 thermocouple to digital converter. This BoosterPack is fancied as a baseboard plugging underneath the LaunchPad, with four holes for mounting studs in case I ever decide to fix it inside a permanent enclosure […]
