Contestants are invited to submit their original product designs along with elements including design schematics, MSP430 MCU firmware, technical diagrams, block diagrams, pictures of finished and incomplete designs or videos of running hardware. All design entries’ main processor must be the MSP430 MCU, the industry’s lowest power solution for 8- to 16-bit battery-powered applications including metering, portable instrumentation, intelligent sensing and consumer electronics.
Judges will focus on innovation and the best use of on-chip MSP430 MCU features to determine the first, second and third winners, who will be awarded a 61, 50 and 42in Samsung DLP HDTV, respectively, along with free entry and lodging for the 5th annual MSP430 Advanced Technical
