so, tell me one thing, what is the hardware that you were working on? any kit
development or eZ430-2500...
and the protocol? zigbee? simpliciTi? TIMac? Or any EN?

Congratulations. There is a definite sense of accomplishment when
finishing something that you didn't know if you could do. Doesn't
look
like you actually needed much help. Just a little time working on the
problem and you solved it on your own.
However, I do blame my poor dancing abilities on my wife. :-) She just
refuses to be led.

Nicolai,
Don't get discouraged, we all started somewhere ;-)
We have written an introductory book for learning how to write MSP430
applications, and making the most of the ultra-low-power features.
One of the chapters of that book talks about writing a software UART
using the timer resources, and it is presented in much more detail
than the TI toy samples.
This book is titled MSP430 State Machine Programming with the ES2274,
and is available on amazon.com:
If that link doesn't work, then search amazon for MSP430 as one word
and choose our green and white title.
This book is written for our ES2274, but the principles in it are
applicable to any MSP430 design. It is also written for C with the
IAR Kickstart.
The book is formatted as a series of fifteen tutorial sessions, with
solved exercises at the end of each chapter. Consider it a semester
course in the MSP430!
The tutorials in our book are best done with our ES2274 board:
When you are done working through the tutorials, and the solved
exercises at the end of each chapter, you will be well on your way to
understanding more about the problem you are having now.
We also have an RF book that discusses using our CC1100 stack in
detail:
That book is a blue and white title on amazon if you search for
MSP430 as one word, and is written for our MRF1611CC1100 series of
boards.
Our digital radio interface is written for the F1611, but if your
project has the $3000 budget for the source you could port it to any
MSP430.
Tom

Nothing is ever easy. At least nothing worth doing is. It is never my
intent to steer someone away from their dream. However, I do believe
that some people have been given talents or maybe were not given
strengths in certain areas. I've met some people that simply cannot
grasp programming. Their brains are wired a different way. However,
these same people can do extraordinary things with a pen and a paper.
They can write wonderful prose that the reader cannot put down. I've
met others that couldn't write their wife a note to say they will be
late coming home for supper but can derive new methods for solving
problems in the middle of a test. Simpler, more accurate methods than
the professor himself thought of.
Your statement about the beat...some people cannot hear the beat yet
they can dance. It would be extraordinary rare for such a person to
choose a life in dance and furthmore to excel at it. In a world of
infinite possibilities anything is possible.

It is a goodness to fight - to understand, to learn - even if it is not
your
talent. Jumping and switching between jobs - and to realize nothing of
these
jobs is my "talent" - is never a good idea. Most people are talented in
various fields. Sometimes you just need patience - and in ideal case - a
good
teacher - to discover them.
Well of course - in rare cases - somebody is untalented in a special
field.
But for my experience this is very rare (e.g. about 1% of people can not
hear
the beat of music - however they are able to dance).
Matthias

Okay, so let me rephrase what you just posted.
We (meaning the mailing list) are all stuck up with to much time on our
hands. I (meaning you) don't have time to do it myself so I will get
someone else to do it for free. But since you (meaning the mailing
list) won't give me what I (person asking for help) need, but instead
tell me to actually do work on my own, then I don't want your dirty
help. I'll just do it myself.
Hmmm....I needed a good laugh this morning.

It only took me five minutes to edit the code I sent you. I can't find any
hardware with an HF crystal to test it on, though.

Firmware is not something everyone can create. Some people understand
the fundamental concepts while others cannot grasp them. This is not
something that can be taught now is it something to be ashamed of. It
simply is. Some people cannot grasp art or drawing. They simply do not
have the knack. I'm one of those people. It comes down to doing what
you have a gifted at. If you cannot grasp code then move on. You will
never be happy writing code if you have to struggle through every line.
I'm sure there are other things that you are much more suited for.
Mechanical design, art, literature, management, the list is endless.

I actually posted some TI code on a forum where he asked the same
question,
but he doesn't seem to know how to modify it for his own use.
