C2000
Control Card
This is the Texas Instruments C2000 Control Card. Our project design
starts with this card and our final product needs to have the same
functionality as the card shown above.
MSP430 Launchpad
Microcontroller
This Emulation module allows us to develop code on the MSP430 while we
complete our Control Card design. It uses a 14 pin MSP430 as
opposed to the 80 pin MSP430 we will be using to develop our Control
Card.

The MSP430 Family is a set of Ultra low power 16-bit microcontrollers.
To the left is a picture of the actual MSP430 that our group decided on using
for the redesign of the control card.

Driver Board
This is the board that the control card connects to. It has the rest of
the circuitry needed to drive and control motors including amplifiers,
ADCs and DACs. It is supplied by duel 12V inputs and has a 100 pin DIMM
slot to interface with different control cards.
