# MSP430 Campfire Simulation

This project simulates a small campfire effect using LEDs controlled by a Texas Instruments MSP430G2553 microcontroller. The simulation uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to vary the brightness of the LEDs, creating a realistic flickering effect.

## Features

- **Simulated Campfire Effect**: LEDs flicker to mimic the appearance of a small flame.

- **PWM Control**: Uses TimerA for precise control of LED brightness.

- **Day/Night Detection**: (Optional) Can integrate an LDR (light-dependent resistor) for ambient light detection.

## Components

- **Microcontroller**: MSP430G2553

- **LEDs**:

  - Yellow LED (P2.1)

  - Red LED (P2.5)

  - Optional Spark Effect (P1.2)

- **Button**: P1.3 for manual mode toggle

- **Optional LDR**: P1.7 for ambient light sensing

## Usage

1. **Setup Hardware**: Connect LEDs to the specified pins on the MSP430G2553.

2. **Compile and Flash**: Use Code Composer Studio (CCS) to build and upload the code.

3. **Run**: Power the MSP430G2553 and observe the flickering LEDs.

## Development

- **Compiler**: CCS V12.x or higher

- **Language**: C

- **Platform**: MSP430G2553

## Code Overview

- **Timers**: Configured for PWM signal generation.

- **Interrupts**: Handle LED intensity modulation and button presses.

- **ADC**: Reads from the LDR (optional) to adjust the effect based on ambient light.
