A Launchpad "project"

Started by old_cow_yellow January 29, 2011
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 an "anti-compiler" in it to translate the pseudo op-code back to source code.

It is not BASIC, it is not FORTH, it does not even know how to add 1 to 1. It is a cow of another color.

I took a look at the documentation. I think I get what it
does do. Looks like some fun, so I'll try it with some
random piezo (I gather a two-wire type which usually have a
circuit built into them rather than the simple three wire
ones with feedback that don't have a circuit.)

The parser looks prosaic and I can see how it may fit inside
the memory available on those small parts.

Jon
Jon,

That will be great.

The piezo I got from Radio Shack is just a piece of ceramic with two wires. It cost ~$3 and is in stock in most of their stores.

It also works fine with a small PC-type speaker (mine says 3 ohms). I
put a 1k trimpot in series with it for a volume control.

Interesting CL (castanet language!), OCY.

I trust it's OK if I subvert your UART routines for a little project
I'm working on (and will give back!).
