The Texas Instruments MSP430 Ultra Low Power Flash MCU Design Contest has come to a close and it proved to be another great opportunity for designers from around the world to showcase their talents. Thirteen countries were represented among the entrants and the projects ranged from practical everyday devices to unique industry-specific solutions. The quality of the entries once again put our judging team to the test and below you will find photos and abstracts from all of the top designs. All contest entrants are invited to submit articles on their projects, so keep an eye on the print magazine in months to come for in-depth articles on some of the projects you see below. Thanks to everyone who participated for making the TI MSP430 contest a successful venture!
