Using the TI Launchpad

Hello everyone.

I would like to use a TI Launchpad MSP340 as a controller for our robot this year. I've talked to a few of the more electronically minded people on my team, and I've managed to get as far as sorta understanding the circuit diagram provided by TI on this page. I've hooked it up to a battery pack and an LED to verify that it is working, and it is:



However, I'm unsure as to where to go from here. I'm only hooking up digital input buttons, but I don't know what to do next.

Our plan is to not use a ribbon cable, as we don't have an appropriate one. I can solder if necessary. I don't need to have an LED in the final project. I also don't have to use a breadboard, it was just a suggestion from our coach.

Thanks all in advance!
