Looks like an Arduino style hardware breakout, but you still use a standard C development platform for compiling/programming. It comes with the programmer on board. $4.30 I've used MSP430's for a while, but I've pretty much given up on them since they had a huge supply issue for about 6 months. Looks like they still don't have the 22xx series in at Digikey in QFN. I might order one just for the price, though. Free Shipping, but I'm not certain what the shipping area is. Might be just NA, or USA. https://e2e.ti.com/videos/m/microcontroller/185811.aspx http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Launchpadwiki?DCMP=launchpad&HQS=Other+OT+launchpadwiki http://hackaday.com/2010/06/22/ti-makes-a-big-bid-for-the-hobby-market/ EDIT: The chips supplied with the board are simple tiny 2k chips, so keep that in mind. |

Wow. Is the 'hobby' market that big? Thanks for the links will give it a test run. |

Your electrical engineer will likely have a bias towards what they've used in the past, be it school or hobby. |

Been trying to load TI's eStore to buy it for the past few hours but no luck. Mouser looks like they'll have 10k in stock on 7/5. |
