MSP430 has entered the chat.

I remember them selling for $4.30 when they came out

  • That was long after MSP430 were widely used, that pricing was part of the launch of the "value line" G-series (And it's associated MSP430 LaunchPad eval board, which is what was priced at $4.30).

    • Were the LauchPads or the ST 'Discovery' line of super cheap eval boards first? Those were brilliant for getting the part in people hands.

    • Yeah I loved my LaunchPad. I bought like 20 and handed them out like candy at school
