If you have checked out the sourcecode for lib430 yet, you have probably already used the chef to build a library for your mcu of taste. However, if you use several different mcus, and would like to have it built for all of them we can use the buildall.sh script. Also, you …

Later, I discovered the MSP430 Launchpad that is available for the symbolic amount of $4.30. …
