MSP430F5529 LaunchPad™ MSP430F5 MSP430 MCU 16-Bit Embedded Evaluation Board
The MSP430™ LaunchPad™ development kit now has USB. The MSP-EXP430F5529LP is an
inexpensive and simple development kit for the MSP430F5529 USB microcontroller. It offers an easy way
to start developing on the MSP430 MCU, with onboard emulation for programming and debugging as well
as buttons and LEDs for a simple user interface.
