Rob,
Thanks for your response. I have added to my code and seem to have moved forward a bit. I am unable to get the P1.0 to operate as expected, for some reason the P1.6 (green onboard LED) seems to work (unfortunately with a lot of flicker). I am not sure why the red LED (P1.0) is not responding. Any thoughts?

ADC10CTL0 = ADC10SHT_3 + ADC10ON; //Set
