It’s been a while coming but a new updated version of my MSP430 tutorial is available. It’s still a work in progress and I have many new things scheduled to be added, but I know it’s been very helpful for many of you.
If you use the tutorial and you like it, or if you have comments/suggestions, please drop me a line at:

Besides covering the MSP430, it also covers things like UART, SPI and general Embedded systems, so whether you’re using PIC, AVR, or ARM, some nuggets of information will help you.
Great. I’ve used it before and I can see many improvements
Dear Sir,
Thank you for the tutorial. I have found it very useful in my courses.

Thanks for this post, it is great
Gustavo,
Thanks for the tutorial – I finally got to understand some things I was previously missing.
However, I was looking for the wireless section and it seems it’s missing a lot of info.
As you said, it is important and it’s in the works. Wireless is such a broad topic and I’m trying to see how to best approach it.
Great work Gustavo! Could you add a section on the MSP430 Flash memory?
It’s planned. I needed to see what to cover. Simple programming isn’t an issue, but I was considering
including code to allow complete reprogramming similar to a boostrap loader. This would require a bit of work to get working.
Thank You for your efforts writing the tutorial, very useful & help me learning quickly.
I’m happy to hear that.
Gustavo
Thank you so very very much for this tutorial! I am an electrical engineering student about to start my junior year. I’m 34 and very experienced with computers, but ever since I became interested in microncontrollers and purchased a MSP430 launchpad from TI I have been scouring the internet trying to find information that wasn’t over my head. The TI website is really only good if you’re already an engineer, and most other sites just gave me code with explanations, but none offered the explanations from the ground up in such simple to understand and follow terminology. I really can’t thank you enough for this and I wish I would have found it three weeks ago. I spent that much time just learning about the bitwise operators in C while trying to follow example code. If I would have read your tutorial first it would have been one of the first things covered.
My only feedback is please oh please write more tutorials for the MSP430. I am a math tutor myself, and I know the value of being able to explain something in a very understandable way, and you are excellent at it!
