I guess that Arduino is
marketed to be super user-friendly, but that doesn't neccecarily mean that Texas Instruments is any less forgiving. Besides, the Uno V3 (The arduino variant) and the MSP 430 dev board seem to both work the same way, anyways.
You can plug them into your computer and program it to what you want, after wich you can plug your desired wires straight into the board, eliminating a lot of soldering. Or, choose to program, and then remove the microcontroller, so you can put it in it's own circuit. I guess the only diffirence in user friendliness might be the programming language. (If they don't both use the same)
Besides that, Atmel is a pretty old company aswell. Soo, while I'd still guess that TI's stuff is better (because it's a pretty well regarded company in general) you can't deny that Atmel's chips are a bit cheaper.
But, hey, the TI board is 10 pins, while the Atmel one is 14 pins. But, besides that I really don't have time to look into it rn.
But hey, they each cost something like 15 bucks, soo can't possibly hurt that bad to buy the wrong one, rite? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Tx
Never thought of it tbh...
I might try sometimes soon. Chatting is occaisionally more fun tham forum'ing, soo...
