This project demonstrates the creation of a basic game controller using an MSP430 development board. The MSP430 is responsible for controlling the game through a potentiometer and serial communication (UART). The game itself was coded in Python.

• MSP-EXP430FR2355 - TI's MSP430 development board
• Grove Potentiometer - Analog input device for game control

• General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)
• Timers for precise control
• Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC) for potentiometer input
• Serial Communication (UART) for data transmission
• Microcontroller Unit (MCU) internal clocks configuration
• Interrupt handling for efficient processing

1. Connect the Grove Potentiometer to the appropriate Grove connector on the MSP430.
2. Use the main.c file for the program code.
3. Compile and flash the firmware onto the MSP430.

More details about this project can be found in the Lab 5 - Game Controller PDF.
