TI Launchpad / MSP 430 Development

Box of TI Launchpads in metalab

TI Launchpad is a very cheap (€3,85 per board incl. mini-USB cable!) alternative to Arduino based on TI MSP430 MCU.

Note that Launchpads ship with an external crystal that you need solder to the board yourself (if you plan on using the boards for anything involving a clock).
