FREEMODBUS 1.1 MSP430 PORT
==========================
REQUIREMENTS
============
This demo application provides a port for the MSP430 series of processors
from Text Instruments. The port was done using the MSP430-P169 from
Olimex[1] which features a MSP430F169 MCU.
It requires a wired serial port to a host processor and a Modbus Master
Software on the PC side to be useful. Demo versions of Modbus Masters
can be found in [2] and [3].
