Designing a Wireless System using CC2500 Transceivers and MSP430 MCUs
Avnet and Texas Instruments are offering a one-day wireless technical design seminar. The wireless seminar features live presentations and demonstrations of TI’s CC2500 RF transceivers and MSP430 microcontrollers. The seminar will show users how to build a wireless network using the CC25xx radio. Attendees will learn how to accelerate the development cycles by utilizing the features and benefits of the CC2500 and MSP430 devices and SimpliciTI network protocol software in their designs. Each seminar participant will receive a free TI eZ430-RF2500 MSP430 wireless development tool. The event is free and will take place across North America starting July 14, 2009.
