MSP430: Automatic Blood Pressure Meter
Posted July 6, 2011 by Chris
Straight from an MSP430 design contest, here is an article that describes how a blood pressure meter was created. A block diagram is included in the article which gives great insight into how the system was put together and how it works. If you’re interested in Bio-Med, this one is for you!
Low Power LCD Clock
Posted June 7, 2011 by Chris
There’s nothing too complex about this LCD clock circuit, so its a great project to build if you want to get started with the MSP line of microcontrollers from TI. The article describes how things work, includes schematics and firmware for the MSP. The system runs off of the single battery coin cell, as all the ICs are low voltage.
