Microcontroller Engineering with MSP432: Fundamentals and Applications

by Ying Bai

Overview

This book aims to develop professional and practical microcontroller applications in the ARM-MDK environment with Texas Instruments MSP432P401R LaunchPad kits. It introduces ARM Cortex-M4 MCU by highlighting the most important elements, including: registers, pipelines, memory, and I/O ports. With the updated MSP432P401R Evaluation Board (EVB), MSP-EXP432P401R, this MCU provides various control functions with multiple peripherals to enable users to develop and build various modern control projects with rich control strategies. Micro-controller programming is approached with basic and straightforward programming codes to reduce learning curves, and furthermore to enable students to build embedded applications in more efficient and interesting ways. For authentic examples, 37 Class programming projects are built into the book that use MSP432P401R MCU. Additionally, approximately 40 Lab programming projects with MSP432P401R MCU are included to be assigned as homework.

About the Author

Dr. Ying Bai is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. His special research interests include intelligent controls, soft computing, mixed-language programming, fuzzy logic controls, robotic controls, robots calibrations, and fuzzy multicriteria decision-making. He has had industry experience in software and senior software engineer positions at companies such as Motorola MMS, Schlumberger ATE Technology, Immix Telecom, and Lam Research.

Dr. Bai has published approximately 50 academic research papers in IEEE Trans. Journals and international conferences. He has also published 13 books with publishers such as Prentice Hall, CRC Press LLC, Springer, Cambridge University Press, and Wiley IEEE Press in recent years. The Russian translation of his first book titled Applications Interface Programming Using Multiple Languages was published by Prentice Hall in 2005. The Chinese translation of his eighth book titled Practical Database Programming with Visual C#.NET was published by Tsinghua University Press in China at the end of 2011. His books cover interfacing software programming, serial port programming, database programming, and fuzzy logic controls in industrial applications, as well as microcontroller programming and applications.
