20140219 - Chip
These are my notes from trying to build the world's simplest MSP430 experimenter's board. My goal is to blink a single LED.
My schematic and layout software is DipTrace. I will be using surface mount parts and a fine-pitch (0.5mm) MCU with a JTAG programming interface.
This project was started on Feb 19 2014 and successfully completed on April 9 2014, including a six-week hiatus to attend to my day job and two weeks waiting for parts.
