The MSPM0 has a general purpose amp (GPAMP). It's an internal OpAmp that, for example, can buffer a signal for the ADC without external components. That's an example that I'm trying out in this post. Roughly based on the Resource Explorer g...
The MSPM0 microcontrollers are very low-cost, and friendly to use (lots of documentation and examples). For a project, I was using an ESP32, but I ran out of UARTs!
Ordinarily I would have considered purchasing I2C to UART chips, but I'm ...
