		<description><![CDATA[MSP430 LaunchPad (MSP-EXP430G2) is compatible with many of the TI&#8216;s Value Line series of microcontrollers. For these MCUs, both the Master clock (MCLK) and the sub-main clock (SMCLK) can be driven directly by the internal DCO, without having to use an external crystal. This is very useful in situations where timing requirement is not so [...]]]></description>

A typical fume extractor sucks in air and passes the fumes through layers of active carbon. While effective, it is probably an overkill unless you spend most of your day in [...]]]></description>

In most meters a typically Ohm range has an accuracy of 0.1 ohm and is too coarse for measuring small resistance. Of course, some of the high-end multimeters have milliohm range and there are also dedicated micro ohmmeters for even more accurate [...]]]></description>
