| NOTES: | - | When you download the 'setup' file, you may notice that the ".exe" portion of the filename has been removed. If this happens, simply rename the file, |
| and append ".exe" to the end of the filename so you can run the installer. This is an issue with our server which we hope to resolve soon. | ||
| - | If you are using an older device (without Driver Library support), we suggest that you read/watch | |
| the chapter discussions in this workshop, but refer to the labs and solutions found in the 'G2553 Value-Line Launchpad Workshop . |
Running The Labs
Most of these sections includes an in-depth lab that will step you through the usage, programming and testing of the peripheral(s) or tool(s) covered.
To run the labs, you will need the following:
- A Windows 7 or later computer with 1.5GB or more free hard drive space
- Download and install CCS v6.0
- Including MSP430ware
- Install MSP430Flasher - Please see instructions in the Installation Guide (see link above)
- The workshop course manual (see link above)
- The labs and solutions files (see link above)
- One of the following three Launchpad boards:
- MSP430F5529 USB LaunchPad Kit (MSP-EXP430F5529LP) (US $12.99)
- MSP430FR5969 FRAM Launchpad (MSP-EXP430FR5969) (US $15.99)
- MSP430FR4133 FRAM Launchpad (MSP-EXP430FR4133) (US $13.99)
- One female-to-female jumper wire (here’s a pack of them, as an example, from adafruit)
- If you are using the F5529 USB Launchpad, you will need to use the new MSP-FET for measuring energy usage during the Low Power Optimization lab exercise. We provide them for in-class use.
- MSP-FET (Flash/FRAM Emulation Tool) supports measurement of energy with the EnergyTrace feature for all MSP430 devices (US $115.00)
