INTRODUCTION

MSP430-LED8x8 BOOSTERPACK is development board for MSP430-EXP430G2

LaunchPad from Texas Instruments. MSP430-LED8x8 BOOSTERPACK has 8x8 LED
MATRIX, at which can be visualized captions or pictures. If you want to visualize
longer captions, you can extend the board by connecting several MOD-LED8x8
boards to it. The board has also microphone for detecting sounds and buzzer for
playing sounds.
