Overview

Mspduino is an open-source printed circuit board by RIOT-OS, from the RIOT-OS/RIOT-Open-Hardware repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 68.6 × 53.3 mm with 13 parts on 72 nets, routed with 225 tracks and 100 vias.

It is built around the MSP430F1611IPM and CH340N. Its parts include 3 ICs, 2 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 resistor and 1 switch. It belongs with the MSP430 boards of this library.

Arduino UNO adapter for Olimex MSP430 Header boards

Older MSP430 MCUs can also be obtained in DIP packages, making them extremely breadboard friendly. The newer high-pin count MSP430 MCUs however are only available in SMD packages. To still enable breadboard prototyping with those MCUs, Olimex Ltd sells open hardware MSP430 breakout boards named MSP430 Header Boards.

This adapter board can be useful to quickly connect an Arduino UNO compatible shield to such a header board and/or to connect an USB-UART adapter without having to use jumper wires.

The board has been developed for the Olimex MSP430-H1611 but also been tested successfully with the Olimex MSP430-H2618. Chances are good that it will work with many of the Olimex MSP430 header boards with the same footprint.

Features

  • Adapter for Arduino UNO shields
  • Integrated UART <--> USB bridge
  • Physical reset button
  • External resistor for DCO clock source ($R_{OSC}$ in the data sheet)

Questions

How big is the Mspduino PCB?

It measures 68.6 × 53.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mspduino use?

13 parts, built around the MSP430F1611IPM and CH340N. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mspduino KiCad files?

From the RIOT-OS/RIOT-Open-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is olimex-msp430-arduino-uno/mspduino.kicad_pcb and its schematic olimex-msp430-arduino-uno/mspduino.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mspduino design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask RIOT-OS before reusing the design.
