User Experience

Started by golfnut94952 May 20, 2011
I have the port complete to V2 of Crossworks for the User Experience from TI for the MSP430F5529. The board they supply for $99 is really quite impressive, with lots of toys on-board, so for a newbie there is much to be learnt from this project; I especially love the slide which lights LED's as you slide your finger across; this has kept be amused for hours! Perhaps the coolest feature is connecting the board to the USB port, it shows up as a drive and you create a file on the drive; you can then use the FatFs to read the card directly onto the small LED; BTW I love Crossworks, so much better than CCS (IMO). OK, now what should I do?

Nice work! I'd say kick back and grab a beer! :-)

Quite how you read a file onto a small LED I have no idea... ;-)
