Class 1 video: 

For the first week of the course, we look at the basics of I2C. Starting at how it works at the hardware level, and working up through the protocol level, this first class should get you up to speed on how I2C devices are connected together, and how they signal each other.

An understanding of circuit diagrams and how transistors work is helpful, but not necessary. At the end of this video, you'll be ready for the next video. Make sure you have Code Composer Studio installed, and your MSP430F5529 Launchpad ready!
