Learn MSP430 Programming while Implementing a Task Scheduler

Disable the watchdog timer as it will not be used in this course.

Set IO port to output so we can use it to control LED.

Use the IO port to turn on the on-board LED.

Enable the correct bits in the Timer_A control register.

Use capture and compare register to get the correct timing.

Now that we have our timer set up, toggle the LED in the timer interrupt.

Use functions to make code cleaner.

Create a function to toggle the LED. This makes the code a lot more readable. 

Learn the recommended coding structure for the MSP430.

We need more LEDs! Let's set up a few on a breadboard connected to IO pins on the launchpad.

Learn about how structs can be used to make our own user defined data types.

Use the struct we created in the last section to set up timing for a task.

Learn about where callback functions can be used.

How memory addresses and pointers are important when using callback functions.

Make some cool LED blink functions that will be used to test our task scheduler.

Make a function to easily create a task that has a function and timing in seconds.

The final step! Implement our scheduling execution and test it out.
