What was built

    Four lab sessions. First LED timing from measured cycle counts, then MSP430 assembly, then TimerA PWM servo control and UART output. The last is a sonar scanner with button interrupts and debouncing, ultrasonic ranging and the on-chip temperature sensor on ADC12. A state machine with off, sweep and alarm states sweeps a servo and raises an alarm below 15 cm.
