Hardware Overview

The MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimenter Board utilizes the MSP430F5438 peripherals connected to a

number of external components that enable various functions as shown in Figure 2. The board provides a

socket into which the MSP430F5438 should be loaded, with pin one located in the top left corner of the

socket (look for a small arrow on the socket).

The interfaces to a 138x110 dot-matrix LCD, two-axis analog accelerometer, 5-directional joystick, 2 push

buttons, and a complete analog signal chain from microphone to audio output jack enable the

development of a variety of applications. The MSP-EXP430F5438 Experimenter Board also provides

UART communication via the mini-USB connection, facilitating communication/data transfer with a PC

host. In addition, wireless communication is also possible via TI wireless evaluation module headers or the

EZ430-RF2500T headers.
