I have been using IAR Workbench Kickstart with the TI USB EZ430 debugger/programmer with the tiny thumbnail board. I got a Launchpad and haven't figured out how to use the same IAR Workbench with Launchpad. The PC sees the Launchpad as a Human device on COM4. I can't run hadware debug or download a program? Most examples use TI's IDE and Debug (CCS). It seems more complicated than the IAR?...

I am trying to develop a system on MSP430 launchpad. It should do ADC from F2013 and then transfer data through USB from the Launchpad to PC. With that's in mind, I reprogrammed the MSP430F1612 in the emulator side (by using FET-UIF, connect to TP holes in PCB from 1-> 7 to the UIF), to make it works like a bridge. However, I am now have a problem with the TUSB. I tried to download the driver

I'm a Junior Programmer (waiting for my MSP430 LaunchPad kit), but I'm not an expert in Electronics. How is it possible to make the PC Operating System (Shell or Programming Language) control MSP430 LaunchPad electric/electronic inputs/outputs? Is it possible to do this using the USB port which is also used for programming the microcontroller? Is there an easier way to do it? For examp...

Jon, I did some crazy little thing with the Launchpad. I wish you could take a look at it. You can access this zip file at the URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/msp430/files/LaunchPad/ACOAC.zip I "claim" that there is a "compiler" in it to compile source code into pseudo op-code. I also "claim" that there is an "interpreter" in it to execute the pseudo op-code. I even "claim" that there is...

Hello Everyone: I have been around for a while,but have not done much with my launchpad. So lets get started, I am a newbee to most of you and that is where I will start. I want to do somethings with my Launchpad, so I will ask the group what is the best first project to start with and then we (or I) can go from there. I am a Ham Radio Operator and have some IDEAS, and yes I do know about...

Hello! I just wanna begin by saying how much I am loving the msp430 Launchpad! Its a very versatile learning tool. I am okay at programming hardware and have had some experience with the launchpad, tinkering with it my self. However I have run into a problem: I am trying to develop a code that accepts input through one of the general purpose I/O pins( specifically a set of two inputs spaced apa...

The Launchpad comes with a built-in application that displays a single character every second or so once S2 is pressed to start it in that direction. Pressing S2 again should display two characters and then one every second. While it works on EVERY SINGLE OTHER system in my house, there is one which does not seem to work over the serial port. It's a brand new machine, an Intel 2600K base...

Hello everyone, I want to buy a couple of prototyping boards (capes?) for the MSP430. What I need is an equivalent to the Arduino prototyping shields, i.e, a PCB which will plug into the Launchpad board with a proto typing area which I can solder components to or put a small plugboard on to. Do they exist and can I purchase them in the UK? Thanks, Steve G0XAR

Has anyone investigated whether the F1612 can be reprogrammed via the JTAG port. I don't have a 4 wire JTAG, so I can't check it myself. If the F1612 can be reprogrammed it greatly expands what can be done w/ a LaunchPad. Reg ------------------------------------

Is this possible? I'd like to control six servos, individually, with six potentiometers by using all six capture/compare registers of Timer_A0 and Timer_A1 in the 20-Pin G2553 on my Launchpad. I've built a robotic arm and I want my code to be able to constantly send a PWM to each servo so that they can maintain their positions, as well as change and update each of their positions using the pot...

I'm seeing more jitter than I would like in the length of a pulse (e.g. 120= us) generated by timer A in PWM mode=A0 using ACLK from the 32 KHz xtal on= a G2553 Launchpad.=A0 An eyeball estimate is a standard deviation of 15 ns= . I've pulled the header pins that connect to the xtal and removed the zer= o ohm jumpers. That improved things a lot, but I'd like better if possible= . Is there...

About a year ago I made this stepper controller for my son's rotary table on his mill. I used the FET430UIF at the time as I've been lead to believe that wires to an off board chip from a launchpad just would not work. FET debugging with the FET430 was a real pain as I could not set more than one break point at a time with an MSP430G... chip. So this time around I figured I would try the...

Hello! First I must say, that I'm new in posting on users group so please don't blame too much for some mistake. Here is my problem: I'm experiencing very weird behavior of software running on LaunchPad and I'm asking community to help with suggestions or experience. I've used way many hours and days exploring problems with no solution. My conclusion is that I have problem with reliable ...

Hi, I'm very new to the micro controller scene and have picked up the MSP430 LaunchPad to try some basic experiments. I went through the intro online class videos and learned upload code successfully. Currently I'm trying to research some example code that will allow the MSP430G2231 to toggle the LEDs on the Launchpad based on certain voltage inputs. I'd like to hook up an amplified sensor...

I've been using the MSP430G2553 LaunchPad for a number of projects, but realized I ran out of IO ports. Future projects: 6 digit 7 Segment display with up to 8 interrupts and 2 timers Probably 32 IO ports. 4 ADC ports Also need to be able to prototype beyond the evaluation boards Any suggestions as to the next level evaluation board and processor, There's just too many to choice from...

Hi, I am a newbie to Msp430 and CCS. I installed CCS 4 and trying to learn some coding Msp430 Launchpad. I modified original Launchpad code ( in fact removed almost all code just adding led pins update in a loop ). My code is so simple and includes a few line codes. My problem is, i successfully build the project and start debugger and i am able to execute the code step by step. It w...

I ordered another LaunchPad from TI on Nov 29 and was pleasantly suprised when it arrived on Dec 2, populated with a 20-pin PDIP MSP430G2553, and a spare MSP430G2452. The G2553 has 16K FLASH, 512 Bytes SRAM, 2 16-bit timers, USCI_A (UART/IrDA/SPI), USCI_B(SPI/I2C), 8 Comparators, Temp Sensor, and 8-chan 10-bit SAR ADC. In other words, enough FLASH, RAM & peripherals to get into some fairly complex...

I would like to build a daughter board for my Launchpad. Others call this stacked board a shield, ala Arduino. Where are you folks getting the female 10 position, single row board-to-board receptacle? The only manufacturer I've found that produces a simple vertical, single row .100 pitch pcb mount receptacle is Tyco. The series is branded ".100 inch AmpModu". I found nothing like it at Jameco.
