TI Day @ Mac.
• There are 3 streams:
– The first one gives hands-on introduction to the Tiva
microcontroller and adding wireless to this type of
microcontrollers;
– The second one discusses the more advanced MSP430 and
interfacing sensors to it;
– The third one discusses power-related applications including
battery and motor controls.
• Every stream contains two workshops, one in the
morning and the other one is in the afternoon.
• The first two streams will take place in MIP and the third
stream will take place in MARC.
