Hi, i recently bought the MSP-FET430P140 and i am trying to use it with the Devantech SRF04 or SRF08.
Firstly, as i am new with the Msp, i have read the documentations however, the only documentation i have is the documentation using the IAR.I am unable to locate the documentation that specifies the ADC inputs of the MSP-FET430P140. I was wondering if anyone have any diagrams specifying the locations of the ports.
Please help, this is probably a relatively easy question which most of you experts could help…
Thank you
Tan
p.s. if you have information on how to interface the srf04 with msp, could you post a link up as well please?..i have searched for it but none related to the msp430.
TI produces many different micro-controllers. MSP-FET430P140 is a hardware development tool for MSP430F13x, MSP430F14x, MSP430F15x, and MSP430F16x sub-families of micro-controllers.
IAR is a software development tool for lots of different micro-controllers. The KickStart you got from TI is a limited version of IAR for MSP430 family. The limit is 4KB of object code if you use C or a mixture of C and assembly, but no limit if you use assembly only. The full version without this limit will cost you thousands of dollars. I suggest that you just use KickStart for now and consider your options later.
I think when you buy MSP-FET430P140, TI also send you two MSP430F149 micro-controller chips. Are you trying to write code for MSP430F149? If so, you need to read the data sheet of this chip. (http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/msp430f149) You will also need to read the User’s Guide for MSP430x1xx Family. (http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/slau049f)
