Go to Post The shirts. The buttons. The capes. That feeling you get when you first glimpse the arena and all the empty pits, and the only thing is promise. When the last bit of confetti has fallen, and nobody leaves the field. We are fortunate. - Taylor [more]

Re: Launchpad compared to Arduino

http://www.meanpc.com/2011/12/ti-lau...duino-uno.html

Arduino has a much bigger community and is much easier to get started with. MSP430 is really cheap and low power. Can even be powered with fruit.

My robotics team (NCSU underwater robotics) used to use 3+ arduinos on our robot. 3 were for thruster control with H-bridges and additional ones were for peripheral devices. On the motor board, we had each arduino controlling 2 thrusters. We've been making the transition over to using MSP430's because they are much cheaper.
