Intro: In this tutorial we were able to get our hands a couple new MCU's including the MSP-EXP430G2ET and the Nucleo-F401RE. The Nucleo is an industry standard for entry level MCU programming. These both are a step up from the 'novice' arduino, which is very beginner friendly. This tutorial allows us to try coding on other IDE's.

Results: This tutorial was fun to implement as it allowed me to learn about other popular MCU's. The MSPs IDE is a copycat version of the Arduino IDE, so it was very familiar to me. The MSP as a MCU functioned the same, with small differences. The Nucleo was different, as the STM32Cube IDE was very in-depth. You can do alot more with the STM32 IDE compared to the Arduino. The Arduino IDE is very easy to use for DIY projects and small implementations whereas the STM32 is used for the development of  actual products in the industry.
