Energia is an open-source electronics prototyping platform started by Robert Wessels in
|
|
January of 2012 with the goal to bring the Wiring and Arduino framework to the Texas
|
|
Instruments MSP430 based LaunchPad.
|
|
|
|
The Energia IDE is cross platform and supported on Mac OS, Windows, and Linux.
|
|
Energia uses the mspgcc compiler by Peter Bigot and is based on the Wiring and Arduino framework.
|
|
Energia includes an integrated development environment (IDE) that is based on Processing.
|
|
|
|
The foundation of Energia and Arduino is the Wiring framework that is developed by Hernando Barragan.
|
|
The framework is thoughtfully created with designers and artists in mind to encourage a community
|
|
where both beginners and experts from around the world share ideas, knowledge and their collective experience.
|
|
The Energia team adopts the philosophy of learning by doing and strives to make it easy to work directly with the hardware.
|
|
Professional engineers, entrepreneurs, makers, and students can all benefit from the ease of use Energia brings to the microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
Energia started out to bring the Wiring and Arduino framework to the Texas Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad.
|
|
Texas Instruments offers a MSP430, TM4C, C2000, and CC3200 LaunchPad.
|
|
The LaunchPad is a low-cost microcontroller board that is made by Texas Instruments.
|
|
The latest release of Energia supports the majority of the LaunchPad product offerings.
|
|
|
|
Together with Energia, LaunchPad can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of
|
|
switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
|
|
LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the Target Board, i.e. your LaunchPad), or they can communicate
|
|
with software running on your computer (Host PC).
