DESCRIPTION:

A gem to help you get started with development on the TI Launchpad. This gem contains a set of rake tasks to help you compile and install code on to your launchpad, and also contains libraries to help make development a bit easier.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • Contains rake tasks to simplify compilation and installation of msp430 launchpad programs.

  • Provides header files to give some compatibility with Arduino code.

  • Includes libraries for writing UARTS (both hardware and software)

  • Includes libraries for interfacing with RHT03 temperature sensors.

SYNOPSIS:

First install the dev tools and usb driver for the launchpad. Then install this gem:

$ gem install lunchbox

Generate a new project and install the sample program:

$ lunchbox my_project
