Hi! I am trying to just write a simple routine that uses the UART and I have been experiencing some trouble. I am using the 32kHz crystal as it is specified and just running the example they have on the msp430 webpage for using the UART. I connected the transmitter of the UART to the serial port on the computer and tried to received some data using hyperterm but I don't get anything.

Hey all, this has been troubling me for quite a while now. My msp430f2272 is talking to an eeprom through i2c and also to another device through uart(9600). Each work great separately, but when I initialize both of them, the UART cannot receive any data. Here's how i'm doing things: 1. Initialize UART [code] BCSCTL1 = CALBC1_1MHZ; // Set DCO DCOCTL = CALDCO_1MHZ; ...

Has anyone tried using the UART for communication with a PC through the USB interface? How does that work? With the ez430-F2013 module, the UART is not really a UART, the debugger grabs the data and displays it in the debugger terminal window. I'm assuming that the RF2500 UART relies on a USB to serial type of Windows driver to pass the serial data into a PC. I wonder why TI decided to make th...

OK so I am a dork, and I neglected to remember that you can't use both I2C on UART0 as well as the UART function..... I need to access (multiplex) a number of serial communication devices to the same (UART) port so plan on doing that with analog switches (and control lines for routing). So now what I am thinking, is to use an inexpensive MSP like 2132 as a I2C/UART bridge, meaning that the...

I have a UART device who's lines intersect the SPI lines going to another device. When the UART sends data, the SPI device fails. Can it be that the UART lines are generating interference? (UART is at 19,200 and SPI is at 3MBps) ------------------------------------

Hi guys, It's sunday and I'm experiencing my first problems with mixing SPI and UART in the MSP430F135 chip. My circuit have this micro connected to a DAC (SPI) and RS232 (UART) in the port 3. Same device (USART0) but different pins, so no problem in theoy. When I went to the practice, I wrote my program and discovered that the data that was sent to the SPI pins, also was send to the UART ...

Hi, Is there anyway i can clear the RXBUF for the uart. I have implemented a timeout. So what happens, if nothing is received from the UART, the timer will time out the uart interrupt. but RXBUF will still have the previous value. Therefore i was wondering if it is possible to clear it everytime before going into the interrupt. Thanks, Hrag ------------------------------------

Hi, Can anyone please let me know where can I find specification for Timer UART of MSP430F2131. In TI's website, the interface for F2131 is by "Timer UART". But I did not find anything regarding UART in the uC's user manual. Thanks & regards Sanjeev ------------------------------------

I am using an MSP430F1612 and have USART0 set up for SPI communications and USART1 set up for UART communications. I checking the UTXD1 and UTXD0 lines with a scope and am getting two characters out for each single character I put into the Tx buffer. This is happening with the spi and the uart. I connected up the UART to hyperTerminal on my PC and two characters show up for each one I

Hello, I'm trying to communicate with my RF module through UART interface. However, I get many errors even with low load. I suspect that I have an issue with the way that I configure the clock or the UART. Basically, for the UART functionality I use http://glitovsky.com/blog/?p=300 http://glitovsky.com/blog/?p=300 (I configured the connection as 8N1 at 115200). The clock configuration...

Hello, I've just started with the MSP430 in the past month, and have found it great. I've just started the past couple of days to try and send my data out via the UART to a serial port. The problem is that I'm getting different data than I send, along with Uart Receiver Errors and Uart Receiver Framing Errors. I am using mspgcc at the moment. Here is my code (hopefully the linebreak

Hello everyone, I am a beginner with the MSP430 and my first application is a communication between two MSP430s via UART. The first step I wanted to do is to send a byte. I connected a oscilloscope to the UTXD0 pin but I can't see the byte, that should be transmitted. So, I'm not sure if I configured the UART in the right way, or if I have set all bits correctly at the right position. T

Hello, Working with the MSP430F427A. I am using the USART in UART mode. When I go into LPM3, I am explicitly disabling the UART and other active outputs to save power. P2.4, the UART TX data line, goes low when I run the code with the debugger, but in a stand-alone unit, this line stays at Vdd, which results in an unwanted power drain. THe unit goes into LPM3 when it senses loss of line pow...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up the USART on my MSP430 as a UART... The initialization & putchar code is shown below. Hoever, after initializing the UART, the TX line is just held high... I thought this might be something to do with the order that I reset the SWRST bit, but i tried that, but still nothing happens on the TX line.. the ACLK is definately oscillating, as i've got a PWM o

Can anyone please help me? I'm having a rather difficult time implementing a UART Transmit at 9600 Baud. I have been trying to modify the APP NOTE that waits for a character to be received and then echos that character. I just want to write an ASCII character to the UART. I am using port 1.2 for my output and I don't know if thats complicating matters or not. Any code snippet woul

Hi. I am looking for a small and cheap ($2-3) MSP with a single UART but all I can find seem to have just I2C/SPI (or I am not searching the TI site correctly). What would be a good choice? The requirements are very simple as follows: - Single UART (for serial comm) - 10 I/Os - Speed not important, no PWM/ADC/etc Of course, they need to be largely available on Farnell etc. and with samples...
