# MSP430
The MSP430 Family from Texas Instrument is quite young, but it's also a fun series of µC to play with. They're really really cheap, which make them perfect to embed anywhere.
In the _arduino-shield_-spirit, there are some Boosterpacks that can be plugged on the MSP430 Launchpad, perfect for prototyping.
