As I promised, here is a outline of the steps I go through to make the weekly IC Friday posts. First, a word of caution:
Handling sulfuric acid REQUIRES specialized training and equipment. Misuse can result in serious injury or death. Furthermore, improper disposal can cause serious illness to others and permanent damage to your workspace. Finally, adequate ventilation/fume extraction is a MUST when heating sulfuric acid.

Found the NASA Workmanship Technical Committee website recently while looking at ESD standards. Not much to say about it beyond that it is a good place to look around for general technical information on electronics. Their pictorial inspection reference for examining flight hardware is pretty nice too.

This weeks target is the MSP430F161(1). On a side note, I will be attending the last Hope conference in a few weeks and am looking forward to Travis Goodspeed’s MSP430 talk.
