MSP430 Hero - Embedded Systems

In this project I created my second game using the MSP430F5529 Launchpad-based Lab Board resembling the Guitar Hero game. My MSP430 Hero game version gives a menu of two songs, Smoke on the Water and Three Blind Mice, and after one has been selected by pressing 1 or 2 on the keypad, the board starts playing the song. The song is dependent on a timer, in which at the sound of each note a LED flashes indicating the note that the player should press using the corresponding push buttons on the board. During the game, the player receives feedback from the two Launchpad User LEDs, the red LED1 blinks when the button pressed doesn’t correspond to the right note and the green LED2 blinks if they match. The game can be reset to the Welcome screen during the game when the key ‘#‘ is pressed on the keyboard. In this project, I was able to configure and use the 4 LEDs on the board and the 2 LEDs on the Launchpad. I also was able to configure and use the 4 board buttons as player inputs and check and update LEDs in real time using the timer based on the button's state of being pressed or not.
