Microcontrollers require more bit manipulation than most typical C programs. The intent of this module is to help programmers new to the MSP430 processor get the results they need from C language bit manipulation instructions. Much of this content applies to C programming for many microcontrollers as well as for computers; the examples are based on the Texas Instruments MSP430.
