Hi, I've just started playing with the MSP430 (MSP430G2252) and i'm having lots of problems with getting myself up to speed. If anyone could help me out on the basic, it would be greatly appreciated... my background is in the hardware and i am no expert at programming For the beginning of my project (just to get me working on the right track), i'm trying to make a countdown with 2x 7segment displays while using a 16bit shift register. At startup, i need to read the value of Port1 (to find out the value to start the count from), calculate the 2x8bit value to be sent to the shift register .. then send them (in the correct order) and keep the value displayed for 1sec, then using the same process, decrease the value by one till it counts down to 0sec and then would go blank until next reboot or if the reset button is pressed. I've looked for sample codes to get started, but it's only confusing me more. http://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/designproject/archive/2013/02/04/mikro-elektronika-39-s-7-segment-quot-click-board-quot-with-msp430-launchpad-and-energia.aspx http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Arduino_7_segment_LED_timer_with_74HC595_module http://kimansfield.com/MSP430.html https://github.com/powercat/msp430-7seg/blob/master/7segment_counter_4094.c www.mikroe.com/downloads/get/1884/7seg_click_manual.pdf Port 1, pin 0 to 5 is for used to get the value for the start of the countdown and are pulled-up by default using external resistor (pulled down using the dip switch to enabled them) .. example: if pin 0 and pin 1 are enabled (pulled down) the countdown will count from 3 (1+2) example: if pin 1, pin 3 and pin 4 are enabled (pulled down) the countdown will count from 26 (2+8+16) example: if pin 0, pin 1, pin 2, pin 3 and pin 5 are enabled (pulled down) the countdown will count from 39 (1+2+4+32) p1.0 = 1 p1.1 = 2 p1.2 = 4 p1.3 = 8 p1.4 = 16 p1.5 = 32 p1.6 = Not used p1.7 = Not used the Data pin is p4.3 the Latch pin is p4.0 the Clock pin is p3.3 the Reset pin is p4.2 //reset button (pulled high with external resistor, and activated when low) the Countdown value is Port 1 .. pin 0 to 5 (6 & 7 are not used) and all pins are pulled high with external resistor, activated when low my connections are very similar to the 2x seven segment displays and 2x 74HC595 found here: www.mikroe.com/downloads/get/1884/7seg_click_manual.pdf The only differences are that i'm using a different shift register that has 16 outputs (16bit shift register instead of 2x8). The outputs are connected in alphabetical order to the 2x 7 segments of the display... Display on the Right side (lower digits) Out0 = Segment A Out1 = Segment B Out2 = Segment C Out3 = Segment D Out4 = Segment E Out5 = Segment F Out6 = Segment G Out7 = Not Connected Display on the Left side (higher digits) Out8 = Segment A Out9 = Segment B Out10 = Segment C Out11 = Segment D Out12 = Segment E Out13 = Segment F Out14 = Segment G Out15 = Not Connected If the reset button is pressed, the program should restart and get the Port1 value and countdown.. else, it would not do anything. I already have a hardware debounce on the pin (resistor/capacitor).. I don't know if i should still need it in my program I have an external crystal of 4.194khz connect to it, but I can remove it if not required An example would look like this, at startup, assuming Port1 is set to 12, you would see 12 (for 1sec), then 11 (for 1sec), 10 (for 1sec), 9 (for 1sec), 8 (for 1sec), 7 (for 1sec), 6 (for 1sec), 5 (for 1sec), 4 (for 1sec), 3 (for 1sec), 2 (for 1sec), 1 (for 1sec), 0 (for 1sec), then "Blank" it would stay blank until the reset button is pressed I've tried to get started with the code but I am getting confused on how I can read the whole port1 and make it countdown from that value Here's my start of the code for the Code Composer Studio but can't figure out the rest.. should i use "Do".. or "While" .. or "For" to calculate the value of the count from Port1 input (countdown value) and make it count from that value down to zero and then stay blank ======== int main(void) { WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer P1DIR &= ~0x63; // Set P1 0-5 to input direction P1SEL &= ~0x63; // initialize Port 1 (pin 0-5) to 0, selecting coundown value P3DIR |= 0x08; // Set P3.3 to output direction P4DIR |= 0x09; // Set P4.0 & P4.3 to output direction P4DIR &= ~0x04; // Set P4.2 to input direction ========== I've also been trying to modify the code below for Energia to fit my needs, but I don't know how to add the Port1 input (countdown value) to it as well and make it count from that value... personnaly, i would prefer the code to be written for the Code Composer Studio since i don't know if Energia can compile for the MSP430G2252 http://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/b/designproject/archive/2013/02/04/mikro-elektronika-39-s-7-segment-quot-click-board-quot-with-msp430-launchpad-and-energia.aspx //Define which pins will be used for controlling the Shift Register int dataPin = P4_3; //shift register data pin ("SDI") set to MSP430 pin 4.3 int latchPin = P4_0; //shift register latch pin ("LATCH") set to MSP430 pin 4.0 int clockPin = P3_3; //shift register clock pin ("SCK") set to MSP430 pin 3.3 int resetPin = P4_2; //Reset pin set to MSP430 pin 4.2 int countPin = P1; //Countdown value pin set to MSP430 port 1 //corresponding digit displayed on LED: // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 byte counter[10] = {B01111110, B00001010, B10110110, B10011110, B11001010, B11011100, B11111100, B00001110, B11111110, B11011110}; byte blank = 0; //used as a blank to push digit to right LED void setup() { pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT); //Configure pin as output pinMode(latchPin, OUTPUT); //Configure pin as output pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT); //Configure pin as output pinMode(resetPin, INPUT); //Configure pin as input pinMode(countPin, INPUT);} //Configure port as input void loop() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { digitalWrite(latchPin, LOW); //Pull latch LOW to start sending data shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, counter); //Send the data shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, MSBFIRST, blank); //Send blank to push digit to the right 7 Seg LED digitalWrite(latchPin, HIGH); //Pull latch HIGH to stop sending data delay(1000); } } ============

i did some work on SSD1289 (3.2" 320x240) Im using two 74xx595 IC for data lines (to save pins). here's the repo: https://github.com/kuldeepdhaka/bitbang-ssd1289-using-msp430g2553 schematics : .../doc/schematics TODO: driver for touchscreen not working. PENIRQ is working perfect. Compiler: msp430-gcc note for admin: i wasnt able to upload svg file (tried twice, "This upload failed") , is their any problem with svg's.
