If you order today (11th September 2016) and probably tomorrow, TI ships for free.
I resisted and resisted, until this.  Verified.  Bought.

I was having second thoughts too. But, $10 with free shipping is deal of dreams for someone working on TI products. I bought 2.

All I know about C is how to spell it, but I, too, could not resist this great temptation and just ordered it. Shipping was still free, too.

Thanks to the OP for alerting us to this deal!

Is this limited to certain regions?

Mine comes up as $464 and change at checkout.

I'll not be ordering one unfortunately.

Yes. Shopping cart will add the individual line items at full price if you happen to logout and login after you added the promo bundle. Here is the screen shot how it looks like.

Received the launchpad today.  Pleasantly surprised to see an extra MSP430 chip included.

Also included is a 32kHz "microcrystal".  Anyone know what the purpose of that is?

With the free shipping deal, I couldn't help myself and ordered a second one.


FWIW - both times I also had the above discussed extra items in my cart bug.

The crystal can optionally be soldered to the board for use.

The crystal is intended to be part of on chip RTC. If you need it, connect it to P2.6 and P2.7. Pads are on board, on the right side.

Ah, ok, I see that. Thanks.

But why not have it already installed?

Because it is entirely optional and you may wish to use those pins as GPIO.

Ah, looking through the documentation now, I see the discussion and rational for the ability to install different oscillators for very low power apps, etc. - (Chapter 5 of the MSP430x2xx user's guide)

This is not something I've seen on the other TI launchpads I have, for example my F5529 MSP430 launchpad.

Got it, I logged in after clicking the link so cleared the cart and added it again, $9.99 with free shipping.

One on the way :)

As far as I found it frees up a couple of i/o pins if you don't need a crystal.
IIRC, the original launchpad shipped with one of the 14-pin MSP430 chips, so I imagine that leaving those two pins uncommitted was seen as pretty important.

Is the CCS usable with the Tiva and MSP432 or just the 430 if you buy this license?

It did that to me as well, when I added it to my cart prior to logging in. Try clearing the cart, then logging in, then adding it and checking out.

I forgot to order this together with the other stuff, so I ordered it separately now.. the shipment is actually free.. first time I had an selector for shipping cost, International economy = $0, and international priority $25ish, so I guess they send this one through usps or something.

The situation today is that there are 3 PROMOS for CCS

https://store.ti.com/Search.aspx?k=ccs-promo&pt=-1

bundled with

MSP430G2 (9.99$)
MSP432P401R (12.99$)
MSP430FR5994 (15.99$)

Edit
The  MSP432P401R option is no longer available, although you only see it on checkout. Maybe its just because they have no stock of the MSP432P401R board.


Thanks to FlyIt (below)
everything is OK for All  boards

Thanks for letting us know of this issue. There was a problem with the TI store site which has now been corrected. Please empty your cart and re-order.


Shipping  is still free.
