For more details about this project, please click this link to see the full article: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/use-launchpad-to-make-a-laser-tripwire-alarm/ The MSP430 microcontroller of LaunchPad has a built-in 10-Bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) module which converts the analog voltage applied to its input into a digital number. In this article we will show you how to use the ADC of the LaunchPad and build an example application developed in Energia IDE.
