Getting Started with TI's MSP430 Microcontroller

In this video, I revisit a fun bare-metal (no operating system) programming project using the Texas Instruments MSP430 Microcontroller. Using TI's Code Composer Studio, we'll write and download an executable directly to the microprocessor and we'll learn to use hardware interrupts both to generate Pulse-Width Modulation and to capture button clicks.
