Light Seeker robot using MSP430
This is my first robot to use the a MSP430 microcontroller and was mainly a project to help me learn more about using the MSP430. I originally posted this robot on my [blog](http://emdinventor-blog.tk/light-seeker-robot-with-msp430/) and in a topic on [43oh](http://forum.43oh.com/topic/5574-light-seeker-robot-with-msp430/).
Please look at my blog post for more info:
