In EW, right-click on the project name and add the new file to the project. Unzip it in a convenient location and pull out this file: msp430g2xx3_1.c. For those of us using the ‘2553 chip that would be at MSP430G2xx3.

Hop over to TI’s Code Example page and grab the zip file for your particular processor.
#ARTISTEER 4.2.0 HOW TO#
All we need to figure out is how to write to the output pins connected to the LEDs and some kind of delay mechanism to slow down the blink rate to human speeds. The LaunchPad has two LEDs we can control, conveniently colored red and green. That’s embedded programming’s version of “Hello World”. Let’s start with the simplest of applications, a blinking lights demo.
#ARTISTEER 4.2.0 DRIVERS#
The USB drivers let us download to the flash ROM in the microcontroller and also let us talk to the chip from a terminal window. Ramp Up! Posted in TI LaunchPad | Leave a reply Stop ‘n Go Lightsīy now you should have installed Code Composer Studio* and the USB drivers that came with it. Texas Instruments provides free tools and boatloads of example programs to get you going. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom!īut seriously, the chip is super easy to program via a USB wire. It’s super cheap, ultra-low power, and (drum roll, please……) my current work assignment targets a high end version of the MSP430 chip. In case you’re wondering why the MSP430, once again, three reasons. And for hardware I tried Renesas RX62N, considered Arduino, but eventually chose to develop on a TI Launchpad MSP430. For Web presentation I’ve settled on Bluehost, WordPress, and perhaps Artisteer in the future. It’s been a long haul in the wee hours with Google and YouTube, searching for a viable toolset. I’ve been ramping up for a while, trying various webby things to enable me to pursue the goals mentioned earlier. Ramping up means acquiring and installing all the necessary tools and becoming familiar with them enough to be productive. With a background in computer science, hardware interfacing, software packaging and testing, I am somewhere on the curve, just as you are. I have several goals in this blog…to advance my programming abilities, to gain visibility in the contracting world, and to spark an interest in others who might need a hand up. The topic I’ve chosen to explore is embedded software. Let’s narrow the focus, pick a platform, and build a few simple programs to start. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to become an expert Web designer, mobile app developer, embedded systems programmer, ebook author, robotics experimenter and (fill in your dream job) all at once? Eh, probably not in one lifetime. Of course, there is no single learning curve in software development. Where are you now? Where do you want to be? How can you get there in reasonable time? Whatever the subject, you need a plan to ramp up your skills to achieve a goal. Imagine yourself on a curve, a logarithmic graph of sorts, the learning curve between beginner and expert.
