Introduction
EE40Lx revolves around the construction of a bouncing robot powered by the MSP430G2553
LaunchPad. The construction of the robot project constitutes an optional, peer-reviewed part of the
course worth 40% of the overall score.
Recommended Equipment
Access to the following equipment is highly recommended to enable debugging of circuits on the robot:
Digital multimeter (myDAQ or alternative)
Oscilloscope (myDAQ or alternative)
Students who can use these measurement tools will find it much easier to debug the circuits they build
in the course. Digital multimeters are inexpensive and having one is highly recommended for anybody
with an interest in electronics. Oscilloscopes more expensive, but inexpensive options are available.
Purchasing a myDAQ or joining a shared community lab space are cost-effective alternatives to
purchasing your own oscilloscope. Other alternatives can be found on the student-curated course Wiki.
myDAQ Information
Those who do not have access to an oscilloscope or a digital multimeter might consider purchasing a
MyDAQ to enable measurements. The video modules use the MyDAQ and the NI Ultiboard as
measurement equipment to help debug the circuit. National Instruments has made available the
MyDAQ and NI Ultiboard as a bundle, as well as the NI Ultiboard alone for students enrolled in this
course. The myDAQ ordering page is: http://www.studica.com/us/en/BerkeleyMOOC.html
Microcontroller
We recommend using whichever microcontroller you like to follow along with the course. We will be
using the MSP430G2 LaunchPad and will be supplying code samples for this platform. However, you are
welcome to bring another microcontroller like the Tiva C LaunchPad or Ardunio if you are comfortable
writing simple programs for them.
