MSP430G2

I finally got around to unboxing my $2.30 MSP430G2 Launchpad from TI. What a fun toy! All I can do right now is flip the LEDs on and off so it isn't too useful yet. I'll learn as I go whenever I have free time! My goal is to build a controller which will raise and lower my blinds depending on the time of day.

Logically, it is very simple. All I need to do is 1) Get time, 2) run time through logic, 3) raise or lower blinds as necessary.

Of course, all this translates to kind of confusing code for me since I have no previous experience in programming Microcontrollers. My C is also rusty! This should turn out to be a good project for me to work on. :D
