Where to buy MSP430 controllers

The MSP430 Value Line range of microcontrollers is available from the big electronics distributors such as Digikey, Mouser, Farnell and RS Components.

The MSP430 Launchpad can also ordered directly from the TI eStore (last time I checked, they seemed to offer free world-wide shipping for Launchpads).

Situation in Germany

In Germany, Farnell and RS Components will only sell to business customers and for small orders, the international shipping charge when ordering from Digikey or Mouser dwarfs the value of your items.
