Lab 2: Blinky-Buzzy on MSP430 Microcontroller

Overview

The objective for this second lab is to use the MSP430 Microcontroller and our creativity to design a toy. Each MSP430 board is equipped with buttons, LED's, a speaker, and an LED screen. Utilizing these features and your knowledge of I/O, develop a program to turn the board into a toy.

This toy will:

1. Generate sounds.
2. Dynamically change the LEDs that are illuminated, both brighly and dimmly.
3. Implement a state machine to maintain the state of the toy.
4. Use the four buttons on the expansion board (P2.0-3) to transition the state machine.

How To Compile/Run

1. Using the SystemsVM Virtual Machine,
   a. Navigate to /project/timerLib/
   b. Enter the command make
   c. Navigate to /project/src/
   d. Connect the MSP430 Microcontroller to your computer
   e. Enter the command make load
   
2. Feel free to mess around with the switches to hear different noises & trigger various LEDs.

Dependancies

1. The 2019 version of the SystemsVM Virtual Machine provided by UTEP CS 3432
2. MSP-EXP430G2ET Hardware
